Having 5 Dogs keeps Mr. Bluejeans and I on our toes when it comes to their health. When our beloved dog Harley became ill, years ago, from the melamine contamination… we decided to do a lot of research. This was before “organic” came into being for dogs. In the end we made their food. Since then many companies have been inspired to create well made dog foods and we now have them on products we believe in. A real time saver for me!
We still pay attention to dog food recalls, keeping in mind brands that tend to show up more than they should. In order to pass along this information I decided to create a post anytime I hear of a recall. Here are the latest Dog Food Recalls from the FDA for March 2018. I hope your dog food is not part of this recall.
