DOG OWNERS it IS dry dog food now, whats next? was switching to organic/natural but now maybe HOMEMADE RECIPES

Question

I was feeding Eukanuba dry, after days of thinking, asking yahoo users, bit of researching I decided to go to natural/organic--BUT who is to say there won't be a problem w/ that too?! So many of our pets our part of our family! I dont think I believe any of these companies. IS anyone thinking the same thing, is anyone MAKING THEIR OWN DOG FOOD? Have any recipes that include a well balanced diet for a medium sized dog, shes 2 1/2.
THANK YOU!

Thanks so far guys, but yes it was 1st Hills, which is science Diet, their prescritption brand & yes now Purina. For days, weeks saying only wet NOT dry, now little by little lastnight news said JUST HILLS, (Science Diet, & makers of more) but now Purina, who is to say later tonight tomorrow its not another. The list just keeps growing & growing, agree? so any changes u r making what?

Answer 1

ask your vet

Answer 2

Mix the following ingredients in a large bowl 1 cup meat, cooked and finely chopped or shredded 3 cups cooked brown basmatti rice 3 cups rolled oats. 2 cups whole wheat flour 2 cups dry milk powder 2 tbs bone meal 3 cups low sodium chicken broth 4 eggs beaten 1/2 cup olive oil Directions: Mix together the eggs and oil, then add them into the flour/oat mixture. Spread this mixture into a greased baking sheet. I use a aluminum foil lined pan to get it out easily Bake at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Cut the baked mixture into small cubes or break apart while warm. Pack into individual servings and freeze. You can also chop this kibble in a blender if your dog has a very sensitive stomach, just like my dog. Other ingredient you can use are: cooked chicken, chopped cooked vegetables, chopped cooked ground chuck cooked ground turkey hard boiled eggs Also you can replace 1 cup of broth with 1 cup pureed veggies I use this one to give my girl a change up and to take when we travel as it will keep easier

Answer 3

I work for Eukanuba and I want to assure you that our dry foods are NOT on the recall list.

We own our dry food plants--they're in Ohio, Nebraska, and North Carolina. We have quality assurance procedures in place that report daily to our quality and manufacturing teams and we have not had any reports or concerns at any of our manufactury facilities.

We also keep track of consumer complaints in an extensive data base where we record consumer questions and product concerns along with the necessary code dates and any manufactury codes. This helps us identify quality and safety issues that involve our foods.

You need to do what you think is best for your dog. But I want you to know that you can feel safe and confident in feeding your pooch Eukanuba.

Answer 4

The ingredient that is contaminated is wheat gluten. Avoid all treats, foods etc that contain wheat gluten.

The dry food so far that is recalled is the Science Diet CAT dry.
Also now Purina has recalled another can of their Alpo.

Answer 5

I did not see anywhere where it says dry dog food is contaminated. What is it? Yes, I've already been on menufoods.com
