MSU confirms that there are concerns over Blue Buffalo Wilderness Chicken - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think it was Britster who posted about this a couple weeks ago. Now it has been made public that MSU is the school who discovered it. Very sad news for the company.

Wow! Do you know if there are any members in the Sick and Injured forum that have posted about this happening to their dogs? Why does it sound so familiar to me?

Thanks for posting this! It's disappointing that one of Petsmart's only decent dog food brands is causing harmful effects.

Recall information:

Blue Buffalo Recall — Vitamin D

Wow. I wonder if the BB Wilderness Duck version is ok?? That's what I feed Ringo. Of course, he has to have whatever Lucy is having so there is a little Wellness Limited Ingredient mixed in with that.

Hmmm. Might just transition over to the Wellness until I hear more.

That's such a shame!

There *was* a recall according to another forum.

Thanks for posting...very interesting.
I wonder what is going on within the food or processing?

Amanda7 · 10-08-2010, 07:51 PM

Thank you Ellie May and Britster for bringing this to our attention. I rotate foods so I'm frequently changing and trying new ones. It's so important to keep up with all these recalls.

For those who like the convenience of purchasing at Petsmart, I use Castor and Pollux and have been very happy with it.

Natural ULTRAMIX Adult Canine Formula - Castor & Pollux Pet Works

Definitely worthy of a look at imho.

Lisa and Pic · 10-09-2010, 02:53 AM

So sorry to hear about this and hope there is not a problem with their other types of kibble.

I would hate to switch since it took me about a year to find a food that both my girls like and was acceptable for a dog with previous Pancreatitis.

Thanks for the links everyone...
