It was reported on the national news yesterday that the FDA did a random survey of 400 pet food stores and still found recalled food on the shelves. So for those of you who are re-stocking your supplies after disposing of your recalled products, please be aware that not everything on the shelves is safe yet.

(mods, I thought this should be a new thread just for a while before being merged into the sticky note on the food updates???)

Walmart sucks I only go to Walmart 1 time a month now . If I could stop that I would. Walmarts around where I live both over 20 miles away never took any foods off the shelves . I dont buy my dog food at walmart but I do check to see if they took any off never did around here . Walmart only cares about the mighty dollar . Not about the millions of pets they may kill .

I cringed this morning when I saw several people in my travels (looking for the best dog bed for our puppy so was at quite a few pet stores this morning)
stocking up on recalled brands, especially canned foods. I had this incredible urge to reach over and look at UPC codes on the cans. You have to be living in a cave to not have heard about this recall.
And my daughter is dogsitting this weekend for the elderly neighbor's wheaten. They brought over some Ol' Roy food and treats. I can't even stand to bring it in the house so it's sitting out in the garage. The wheaten ate our premium food with great gusto this morning and continued on with some home made milkbone biscuits! I have never understood feeding Ol' Roy to any animal, even before the recall. But the idea of thinking it's a safe product right now is just beyond my wildest imagination.
In light of this experience today, if you have some neighbors, co-workers, friends...who feed their animals (dogs or cats) a product that is on the recall list, be sure that they know to return the product they have and don't buy any more of the same. It is still not safe to purchase those brands. Obviously some people still haven't gotten the message.

Walmarts would do anything to make a dollar...
