I was told that Blue Buffalo was totally safe and could be consumed by humans. I haven't been checking because they were not on the intital recall and I trusted what I was told about their products. A good friend just told me that she saw them on the recall list. Sure enough they are there. After all this time they are finally fessing up. I am disgusted!! We normally make our own food but when we run out I use Blue (for the past four days). Now, one of my dogs is not feeling well and not eating. Needless to say, I am really really angry at that company and will never trust their products again. My advice to everyone is to keep looking at the pet food recall notices.

Its one of the best suposdedly! but I do prefer Evangers but some cans are only be used as a mix. In my opinion Wellness dry, Innova and timer wolf orangics are the best! There is a food that Walmart sells called Natural life in the can and its very good and you don't have to go to a special store to get it. None of any have been efected and I hope they don't .

I don't know whether food was the problem as this was last May 2006. But my experiences may be helpful. IV is just for liquids and is necessary for a max of 48 hours. If animal is sick, get kidney biopsy. I used the UC Davis Center for Veterinary Medicine in San Diego(del mar) that specializes in renal failure . They have dialysis units there. My dog was saved by 4 treatments...but is still chronic. I also had the biopsy first. If your dog is not eating, ask the vet about putting a feeding tube in him. I did that too and it made a big difference. But IVs do not provide nutrition....my dog was so skinny before I changed vets and got him the proper treatment.

Not treats, thank God! I'm glad they didn't do a recall on MilkBones.... It's bagged dry-food, but if you want to taste gravy, so wet it. It's a strange dog food, but my dog loves, so it seems.

I also supplement the kibble with healthy foods (chicken, beef, turkey, pumkin, raw meatloaf for dogs [satin balls], etc..) My dogs have never looked better. I foster for American Bulldog rescue and have over 300lbs of dogs running around. Blue Buffalo Dry dog food has been a wonderful change in my household and not that much more in price. I would suggest it to anyone. Also try Missing Link Plus as a supplement if your dog needs extra glucosamine mix. I have 3 dogs in my care at this time and switched to Blue Lamb and Rice.

I dont feel comforable any longer using commercial brands. I had been using Natural Balance Fish and potatoe on the others, and it appears that one has not been recalled.....only the Venison diet in that brand...but, I have stopped using it anyway, for fear it will be added. Im assuming it the venison has been recalled because it containes rice,....the fish diet does not. I now have begun cooking for my dogs to be safe. 2 questions....what supplements would be best, if cooking (im using veggies, brown rice and either chicken or beef)......ALSO....I still use the Natural Balance Log Rolls for training/showing treats, where you slice them....no rice in them...they are not the dried treats or cookies....Have the rollover rolls been recalled?

He loves the food! He just had his 1-year checkup and appears to be the picture of health! I have confidence in Canidae because of the human-grade ingredients and the fact that none of the ingredients come from outside the U.S. I have a 1-year-old Westie — since August, have been feeding him Canidae Chicken and Rice (dry mixed with some wet), plus an occasional Canidae treat .

Heard about BilJac at PetSmart, and have been feeding it since. Both dogs are healthy, at the right weight, and doing very well. And so far, we have not had to worry about the recall, since there is no wheat gluten in the food. I would recommend it.

Her inner "wolf" emerged the minute she tasted it! She appears physically and mentally better than she has in the past year. Found it at my local pet food store where the owner brings it in for some local PD for their working dogs. You can check it out at farmoredogfood.com. Since start of recall, she was eating Flint River Ranch and Kumpi (both excellent dry foods), mixed with Ceasar. Has anyone tried Wildkitty (frozen raw) for their cats?
