Natural Balance just recalled the puppies’ food! I’m so pissed, we picked this brand because its supposed to be natural and less processed then other brands. I totally feel let down From their website:

“NOTICE:
We are receiving consumer complaints regarding the Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Foods. We do not know what is wrong with the food at this time, but we have heard that animals are vomiting and experiencing kidney problems. Although the problems seem to be focused on one particular lot, as a precautionary measure, we are pulling all dates of Venison & Brown Rice Dry Dog Food and Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Food from the shelves.

Please discontinue feeding all Venison and Brown Rice Dry Dog Food, and Venison and Green Pea Dry Cat Food.”

It sounds like we might be lucky and not have the lot they recalled, as our 2 just polished off their 2nd bag of Venison and Brown Rice, but both have thrown up in the past week. Each time we blamed it on other things they have been eating, which I still think were the causes, but now you never know. Also, I’ve been complaining about Little Girl peeing so much more then Big Boy, thinking she has a UTI, but she’s always made it through the night, so the vet yesterday said its probably behavioral .. but it could be kidney related right?!

I called the vet after reading this on CNN and they said they really dont have any food recommendations, because anything can pop up on a recall list. She did give me a name of a store that features organic pet food, and I’ll be taking a trip there this afternoon. And a book recommendation on holistic pet care, but she said it was really tricky to get the right balance of protein, carbs and veggies.

Hopefully our little ones will be okay.
