| Natura Pet Foods Okay
I feed my dogs Innova, which is made by Natura Pet. I was running low on food and was hesitant to get more with the new foods being recalled due to contaminated rice protein. I visited the Natura website and was relieved to see this statement: No products manufactured by Natura Pet Products were implicated in the recent recalls, including the latest recall involving organic rice protein concentrate.
They also state that they hope to have their own manufacturing plant soon (they use a Menu Foods plant in South Dakota, which apparently was not affected). http://www.naturapet.com/about-natura/news.asp?id=16 |

 | There is a list of foods that is safe - http://thepetfoodlist.com/
and it is updated when UNSAFE foods are recalled.
We have this printed out at my animal clinic.

I'd just point out that the standard "disclaimer of the day" was also on the Natural Balance website up until a couple days ago. | |

| | Alpha | Natural Balance recalled SOME of its recipes yesterday. Below is from their website FAQs:
What products have rice protein concentrate?
Venison and Brown Rice Dry Dog Formula
Venison and Brown Rice Canned Dog Food
Venison & Brown Rice Formula Dog Treats
Venison and Green Pea Dry Cat Formula
How did this happen?
From time to time we evaluate our formulas and look for ways to improve them. We recently looked at the Venison dry formulas and thought that adding another protein source would improve the formula. Unfortunately, the rice protein concentrate was contaminated with melamine. | |

| This is getting rediculous. Isabelle is eating Innova evo. I hate to change as she has been doing well on it. Since there are no grains in the evo formula I feel reasonably safe feed it to her. | |

I f you remember that food was a recall (animals died) last year.
Maybe we should be checking where the food is made at. | |
