NEWS - PET FOOD RECALL

The Food and Drug Administration has announced a recall of dog food manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods between Dec. 9, 2011, and April 7, 2012.  Salmonella was found in batches of the company's dry dog food.  No illnesses have been reported in dogs, but so far 14 cases of salmonella in humans have been found in nine states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  Affected humans may have caught salmonella from handling the dry dog food and then handling their own food, or from cross contamination with utensils. 

Several dog food brands manufactured by Diamond have been recalled: 

  • Wellness Brands is recalling one recipe, in 15-pound bags, 30-pound bags, and 5-ounce sample bags with "best by" dates of Jan. 9, 2013, through Jan. 11, 2013:

  • Natural Balance is recalling batches of five dry dog food recipes in 5-pound, 15-pound, and 28-pound bags with "best by" dates between December 2012 and March 2013:
    • Sweet Potato and Venison,
    • Lamb Meal and Brown Rice,
    • Sweet Potato and Bison,

A new vaccine has recently been developed that protects cats from Virulent Systemic Feline Calicivirus (VS-FCV).  Unlike the more common calicivirus strain, this new virus strain is often fatal.  There was an outbreak of virulent systemic calicivirus in the StoneRidge, Accord, and Kingston areas during the summer of 2009.  We strongly recommend that all cats that go outside be vaccinated against this new virus strain Click here to read more.
