RECALL ALERTS: The list of affected pet food product grows.

Please check the FDA's list of recalled pet (and human) foods today. It seems that the products, both human and canine, believed to contain the tainted peanut butter grows every day.

As always, if you suspect that your dog is sick, call your veterinarian or emergency veterinarian immediately.

RECALL ALERT: MORE PRODUCTS

The peanut butter recall is growing with new products being affected every day.

The FDA now lists 8, count 'em 8, brands of problematic pet food products and scores of human food products. Immediately review this list and check back daily until this mess is over. Read the labels of all the human and pet food in your home. If you see the word "peanut" contact the manufacturer before you eat it or feed it to your pet.

The Chicago Tribune gives us an inside look at a peanut processing plant involved in the FDA investigation. If this doesn't encourage you to read labels, we don't know what will.

MORE RECALLS

The peanut butter-salmonella scare continues. Today, Albertons became the latest retailer to recall a dog food product made with potentially contaminated peanut butter. This recall covers Happy Tails Multi-Flavored dog biscuits.

The FDA collects the most up-to date recall data and provides packaging and labelling information that will help you identify recalled products.

If you are in doubt, don't feed your dog a treat or food made with with peanut butter until you check with the manufacturer or retailer. If your pooch has already consumed a recalled product, contact your vet immediately.

RECALL ALERT

The current peanut butter/salmonella problem has spread to dog food. Petsmart has now recalled its "Grreat Choice Dog Biscuits." Find the official scoop from the FDA here.  

Before you feed any dog treat or food containing peanut butter to your furry friend, call the manufacturer and ask if the product is being recalled. It's always better to be safe than sorry!

In addition, the ASPCA, which runs the Animal Poison Control Center, is recommending that pet owners stop using peanut butter until the current salmonella risk is over.
