Pet Food Recall - Updated 2:40pm numbers sick and dead

Trying to keep the emotion out of this, but this is so heartbreaking it's impossible. I am SO sorry for everyones loss...

From the PetConnection.com database. 11:20 a.m. PT:

  • Total reports of sick or dead pets: 1715
  • Deceased pets: 845

Of those:

  • Cats, deceased: 500
  • Dogs, deceased: 345
*****

Updated numbers From the PetConnection.com database. Thursday 6 a.m. PT:

  • Total reports of sick or dead pets: 1529
  • Deceased pets: 769

Of those:

  • Cats, deceased: 460
  • Dogs, deceased: 309

As we’ve written before, these are self-reported numbers. But we asked people to check the food against the recall list, to list the food and give us the names of their veterinarians. The majority did all of this.

Kim, you posted this link http://petsitusa.com/blog/?p=208. on the pet connection website.

I saw it and appreciated all of the links to various manufacturers. Unfortunately, it looks like PetSitUSA has taken that page down.

Did you by wild chance happen to copy down that page?

Scratch that! They moved it to http://petsitusa.com/blog/?p=210 -- again, thanks for the link! Now I'm copying down the URLs they posted, so I can do further research over time.

Thanks, I've updated the petsitusa.com link.

For those of you seeing this that are in the Yahoo Group, I'll begin adding these links to that Group in about an hour or so.
