Walk Fido: FDA Finds Plastic in Recalled Pet Food

For those of us who work with rescue organizations every day, there is a sad, sad phrase that is often uttered about the single most difficult type of dogs to find homes for: big black dogs. No matter how lovely the dog is, no matter how perfect the temperament, many potential adoptive families overlook big black dogs at shelters all across the country in favor of dogs that have more unique coloring (blue! red! orange with stripes! white with brown spots!). This issue is so close to our hearts (we have a little black pit bull after all!) that we've decided to feature a weekly roundup of local BBDs that need homes. Their photos and links to their profile on PetFinder will remain on our site until these dogs find a home.

FDA Finds Plastic in Recalled Pet Food

The FDA just found plastic in much of the recalled pet food that has been placed on the long, long list of foods that are recalled.

Please, please keep your pets safe by checking this list frequently. Walk Fido checks this list regularly and yet even we were feeding our own dogs a recalled food that had only been added within the last week and didn't end up on the list until weeks after it was pulled from shelves.

If your dog or cat is experiencing any symptoms of kidney failure or is refusing to eat their food, please take them to the vet immediately.
