Pet Food Recall Information

Off Topic

  • Not to be the one always talking about toxins and dog food or anything but this link below takes you to a site with a listing of all the pet foods involved in the Mars Pet Food recall. Apparently, a PN plant somehow had gotten a rare strain of Samonella in the dry dog/cat food and humans were getting sick from it. The CDC reported that 79 people had been affected.

    This doesn't effect me because Beegin's food isn't on this list, but in case it may effect others, I just wanted to let people know.

    @glenn-jalivay2 - Many use kibble and raw, usually what they do (myself included) is one meal would be kibble and one meal raw.... I agree with Redial about the age and taking a 6wk pup. In the US is is not legal in most all states to place pups less than 8wks. Basenjis in particular do much better at 10wks at least. They learn important lessons from littermates and other adults in the home from 6wks to 10wks. And I as a breeder do not feel they are mature enough to leave their littermates at 8wks. Always exceptions and that would be to an experienced Basenji home with an adult dog... as the adult will teach the pup way more that humans ever can.

    The Australian laws stipulate that the animal has to be able to stand and turnaround without touching the container. They will not allow two to travel together, and you have to get a certificate signed by a vet that they are fit to make the journey within a day. There are a number of things to consider about flying, and when I shipped to USA they were put in the cargo and not let out for 16 hours during the flight - just as well. When I shipped to Hawaii, no rabies there, he held onto everything, and as soon as he was out of his crate at the other end, he had a gigantic piddle. And smiled.
