Possible Problems With COSTCO Canned Dog Food

[Richard Crowe]

Our American Maltese Association Rescue group just received an email from the San Diego Animal Support Foundation which they fowarded from Yorkies and Friends Rescue:

 

From: Yorkies&FriendsRescue a href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]> Subject: URGENT~~Possible Tainted Food To: Date: Monday, February 27, 2012, 3:03 AM

URGENT!!!!! I received this message from a friend in the animal welfare community!! Please read and share!!!!!!!!

  ~~"I recently fed my dogs *Kirkland Lamb and Rice canned dog food with an expiration date of 2013*. The food made them very sick. They both passed away within a week of each other. It also made a kennel sick...all the dogs.

I am trying to find others that have purchased this food from ...Costco. This particular food was from the Cypress Costco. If you have anyone that feeds it...please have them contact me and save the cans. We are going to test them. Plus I do not want anyone to have to go through the heartbreak I just went through. When you approach people, say "possible tainted food" as it is not verified yet. But we do need the cans. Do not return to Costco, or contact the manufacturer."

NOTE regarding the above email:  I cannot verify whether or not there is any problem with the Costco food.  However, if you feed your dogs this food, it might be worthwhile to do some more investigation...

How sad that they didn't make it. What a tragedy. I hope they can pinpoint it and alert everyone!
