seeh2o Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 This was posted on the West Coast Greyhound Gathering board. I know there are a lot of Costco feeders on this board: From: Marylynne Kitson <dragonsclan@...> Subject: Re: Costco Pet Food Warning To: GREYHOUND-L@... Date: Sunday, March 4, 2012, 6:57 AM This came across on the Coursing Groups and I wanted to spread the word. Marylynne Kitson At the end of December, a local kennel donated 12 cases of Kirkland canned Lamb and Rice dog food. They said it was too rich for their dog because they all got sick. Did not think any problem with the food. I fed to my dogs, and to visiting dogs. Diarrhea for all dogs, puppy threw up 15 times. She survived...Tesla and Dino did not. I contacted the company on Jan.3 to say all dogs got sick. They said they did not produce that food. Four weeks later, one dead dog, next week, another dead dog. Finally got a response with...tell Costco. I contacted Costco, and then they contacted the manufacturer. Who wants a sample of the food. Mind you...this similar food was recalled in 2007-2009 for melamine contamination. Over 400 dogs died. I filed a report and waiting for request for the sample of food. I need to put out a warning of possible food contamination. ...is not verified yet...but the vet and I feel it will be. The*Kirkland Canned Lamb and Rice with expiration 2013. The cans I have say June 23, 2013*. Please let your friends know. It would have been purchased in Nov.-Dec. 2012. Please anyone that has a can to contact me directly. Do not return to Costco. We need to let everyone know so more dogs don't die.

o_rooly Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I tried that food back in early 2010 (not knowing about the prior recall), and I thought it was 'too rich' for Aston -- major diarrhea. I figured it was just his sensitive tummy. That is incredibly, incredibly scary..... Quote every day a tiny adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAJ2010 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Once it becomes normal your fine. 5 years ago I would NEVER touch raw meat. Dead things creep me out... I would buy ground beef in the family packs and use giant wooden spoons to separate and repackage it. It'a amazing what you will do you your dogs. I'll even touch turkey necks now. Won't do chicken feet though. I use gloves for those! Quote ------ Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
