After reading this article I was very shocked, because I'm pretty sure my dogs Emma and Gracie have eaten one of the brands mentioned in the recall. Luckily neither of my two pups showed any of the symptoms mentioned in the article, which by the one sound really awful " sluggishness or lethargy combined with a reluctance to eat. A yellowish tint to the eyes or gums, severe blood or diarrhea". Yikes! I feel horrible for the poor innocent dogs and cats that were fed this food. What is it that caused this pet food recall you might ask, Aflatoxin is to blame (a fungal toxin that contaminates maize during harvest). Hopefully Kroger gets this situation sorted out and the animals get to feeling better.
