Recall on Timberwolf Organics

TWO has recalled their bison and oceanblue formulas. THey have tested the food negative for toxins, but feel that the food did go rancid causing some dogs to refuse to eat or get sick. They are also unhappy w/ their processing plant and are in the process of changing... this one will be made public.

Re: Recall on Timberwolf Organics

Interesting. Ya know, my dogs don't eat TWO, but they DO eat TOTW and this most recent bag they have refused to eat . My gut has been telling me something was wrong and to take it back but then I brush it off..I think now I might just take it back and switch them cold turkey.

Timberwolf voluntarily recalls Ocean Blue and Dakota Bison Formulas
Admin | June 3, 2008 9:40 pm
It seems that after the recently "discovered" formula discrepancies, there's another problem with Timberwolf products:



Dakota Bison/Ocean Blue Reported Issues

Timberwolf Organics Customer,

Due to recent reports from some customers, we have ordered that two formulas from three specific dates be pulled from the shelves. These are:

Dakota Bison with 'best by date' of 12 Feb 2009
Ocean Blue with 'best by date' of 20 Feb 2009
Ocean Blue with best by date' of 8 March 2009

The reported symptoms include dogs refusing to eat, diarrhea or vomiting. While the problem is inconsistent (not every dog eating food from those dates/bag show the symptoms and not every bag), to err on the side of caution have decided to pull the formulas produced with the above dates. Initial testing has come back negative for problems and further testing is pending results.

As soon as the cause of this reported problem is determined procedures will be put into place to ensure that an event like this cannot happen again. Please be assured that no other formulas and Ocean Blue and Dakota Bison with dates other than ones listed above are not affected.

We apologize for any inconvenience or problems that this may have resulted in. If you do have a bag with those dates please contact the retailer you purchased it from for an exchange or credit. If you purchased it directly from us please give us a call or email us at customer.support@timberwolforganics.com.

Thank you for choosing Timberwolf Organics.

Sincerely,

Timberwolf Organics Team
This is from http://www.dogfoodproject.com/. TOW has been very proactive about the complaints, and it is only certain bags within those formulas that have been recalled. As long as they remain upfront about what they are putting on the market, I will continue to buy their food.

Re: Recall on Timberwolf Organics

I am still using it and love the food.. just wanted to let people know what's going on w/ the company. I do like the fact that their manufacture will be made public in the future.
