Same here. My dogs only eat the Pedigree Small and Crunchy. I buy it in the 52# bag and pour it straight into the dog food container.

I am going to throw mine away and then clean out the container I keep it in. Then I need to call my vet to see what to start feeding the dogs. The little one's stomach has only been able to tolerate Pedigree. Other foods make her very sick.

Another recall?!? Didn't we just do this last year?

Mick and Neeley, I'm in the same boat... or would that be rubbermaid container as you? :

We lost our 2 little dogs last year from bad pet food. Be sure and check everyone please.

Thank you! You would think that pet food companies had learned something from the last time around. Grrrrrrrrr

After the last round of recalls we switched foods away from pedigree, so thankfully we aren't affected this time. If you are researching new foods though, I found a website I thought was helpful. www.dogfoodanalysis.com I was really surprised at what I found. We use California Natural now and they both seem to like it a lot. It's more expensive, but they end up eating less of it b/c it's more nutritionally sound. There is also a LOT less poo to pick up in the yard. We just have a self feeder bowl though, so they can always eat as much as they want, whenever they want. Since we have always done that though, they NEVER fight over food or overeat.

Thank you for sharing. Thankfully our food isn't on the list, but I sent it to my mom because she buys several different kinds.

Our dog was eating the Pedigree Weight Control formula and became sick. Pedigree claims that type was not affected, but she wasn't sick until she ate it. Hmmmm. I started making food for her this past weekend. This week she is eating rice, chicken, carrots, spinach and a dog vitamin. No diahrea or vomiting since. (sorry TMI!)
