Well, at least Costco got in contact with me to tell me. Apparently, the dog food that Quincy and Nordberg have been eating is being recalled. Dammit, I thought we were safe in that. We got caught up in the dragnet as well. Time to go exchange later today, then. ---

That’s awful! I hope your two doggies stay healthy and they like their new food! Get them a treat while you’re at it! ---

On the bright side, the only animals I have seen in overt renal failure due to the bad petfood have been cats. I’ve euthanised five cats to date, but every dog I’ve done bloodwork on has been normal. ---

Scary! I hope Quincy and Nordberg are fine. I check the [recall lists](http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/petfoodrecall/) every day now. I even signed up for the “Firm Press Release” [email alerts](https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=fda-recalls-l&A=1). ---

Just so I’m sure…it’s still just “wet” dog and cat food, right? Dry food is still ok? ---

I hope all will go well for your dogs. Bouv, I know some dry foods have also been recalled. Go to [http://www.itchmo.com/recalls.html](http://www.itchmo.com/recalls.html) and they break it down - 6 brands of dry for cats, 5 for dogs. I am staying away from anything with protein glutens in it now. I don’t totally trust what the pet food companies are telling us. ---

It was Costco brand called Kirkland. The Lamb and rice variety that comes 12 lamb and rice cans and 12 chicken and rice in a 24 pack.They have recalled the lamb. We called a couple weeks ago and asked if their food was ok. They said it was. ---

I went to get some more canned food from Costco, but they didn’t have any. I’d assume they took it all off the shelves (the canned food, at least). I was going to get new canned food to see if the food they were selling was past the danger date.
