Natural Balance this time...

Oh, man - not Natural Balance! I feed mine the Reduced Calorie - got a new bag Saturday, so far, so good! This is too scary!!!

Don't panic, guys. As far as I've read its just been gastric upset from eating it. No deaths, no long term illnesses.

All the reports were from people who had bought a bag in the last week. I bought the bag that Bailey ate from the day before Easter and he got sick that night. He is absolutely fine now.

It could have just been a bad deer.

I'm wondering if it's being caused by a sudden change in diet for some pups. And of course people are going to be worried about the slightest of things with their pups right now. Heck mine have some virus going around that is causing tummy upset so I wonder if that could be part of it??

I just checked their site and they haven't listed anything about a recall on their food. Just info about them not being affiliated with the FDA/Menufoods recall.

It is something to keep informed on though. I went to the FDA site and read through some other recalls - some that I had no clue about!

We are receiving consumer complaints regarding the Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Foods. We do not know what is wrong with the food at this time, but we have heard that animals are vomiting and experiencing kidney problems. Although the problems seem to be focused on one particular lot, as a precautionary measure, we are pulling all dates of Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food from the shelves. Please discontinue feeding all Venison and Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison and Green Pea Dry Cat Food.

We are working closely with the FDA.
We will update this website today, as more information comes available.

Thanks Shonda! They must have JUST updated that! I'll have to keep a vigilant eye on Cricket. I bought a new bag for him last weekend, but it was the regular formula. I clicked the link but still can't find what you posted????? Just the home page for NB.

This could be an isolated incident... and have nothing to do with the mass recall.

I sure hope so. Mine gang are just on the reg NB and Charile and Pumpkin are on the reduced calorie so we'll be keeping a close watch on them.
