Possible Salmonella Contamination in Pedigree Chicken & Rice Canned Dog Food

[RawFedDogs]

Many illnesses have similar symptoms. But, the vet seems convinced that it was salmonellosis, not parvo, and not giardia. And, we did change foods to the brand I described only one week prior. Coincidence? Maybe, but this same company has had two recalls for contaminated food products, so judge for yourself.

I would agree that the problem is probably not Parvo in a 4 year old dog. However Salmonella poisoning in a dog is just as rare as Parvo in an adult dog. I really wish the vet had actually tested instead of just treated symptoms.

I sometimes feed my dogs meat that I know has salmonella in it and there has never been a problem. No vomiting and no diarrhea ever. I have fed them meat that smelled so bad I had to deoderize kitchen and open the window to get the smell out. They have eaten dead squirrels that I know have been dead for a week or more as well as rabbits and other critters. Again, no problems.

Unless the vet tested the dog for samonella, in my mind he just had a severely upset stomach or some other kind of food poisoning.

Innova Evo, Orijen, and Timberwolf are usually sold at the natural pet food boutique small type store or online as should be Wellness Core. Wellness is also sold at Petco along with BB, but as Postal said, you have to go to Petsmart if you want the BB Wilderness.

Did the vet test Buddy for salmonella?

IN RESPONSE TO A DELETED POST FROM SENIORDOGS::

Now you're starting to piss ME off.. and that takes a LOT of effort. If you would READ the whole thread, or even the FIRST frickin post, you would see she was feeding CANNED DOG food from Pedigree..

Now tell me where corn is:

Sufficient water for processing, poultry by-products, meat by-products, poultry, beef, fish, citrus pectin, trace minerals (calcium sulfate, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide), guar gum, vegetable oil, sodium tripolyphosphate, dried yam, carrageenan, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, caramel coloring, natural smoke flavor, xanthan gum, onion powder, bay leaves, vitamins (vitamin A, E, & D3 supplements, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), biotin), garlic powder, sodium nitrite (for color retention).

Maybe I suck at reading or the word CORN just doesn't come through my eyeballs to my brain. Who knows.. Either way, you really suck at flying in under the radar, bud. You should try a completely different approach. Maybe one where you're not trying to sell a product? Or maybe it's because you carry a huge "I'm a vet graduate" ego and it's smothering out your common sense?

Sorry if I'm being harsh, but we're tired of hearing your irrelevant posts and sick of the wasted time reading your misinformed novels. Go hang out on catfoodchat.com. It's pretty slow over there and I'm sure they need something new and exciting.. like someone making an a** of himself.

Naw, then it'll just get everything out of wack. Besides, it'll make it harder for him to say something unnecessary when he makes his way back in
