P&G Expands Voluntary Limited Recall of Specialized Dry Pet Foods Due to Possible Health Risk
The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) (NYSE: PG) is voluntarily expanding its recall to include veterinary and some specialized dry pet food as a precautionary measure because it has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. No salmonella-related illnesses have been reported.
Pets with Salmonella infections may have decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. If left untreated, pets may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

I got a card from PetSmart with a couon for Eukanuba and a banner claiming "Coming soon! - Same Great Nutrition. Great New Look." That always worries me. It didn't say same formula - Those changes usually mean cheaper ingredients. My dog has been on the same brand of dog food since he was a pup, and doesn't take too well to dietary changes.
Luckily, the variety he eats is not on the recall list, but I'll have to read the new ingredients list to see what they've changed.
