My experience yesterday at my local pet store was somewhat similar but actually worked out very well. I went in to buy Eve's supply of Innova cat food and asked Rene if he had many inquiring customers about the food recall. He and his colleagues had not been informed by 1) the food manufacturer or 2) any of the reps who sell the various brands. When I told him about the recall he immediately started calling every rep the store dealt with to get as much comprehensive info as he could. Some of his reps responded immediately (for a Sunday morning, that's good!). I then offered to download as much as I could and bring it to him for reference.

When I went back into the shop a short while later with my lists, Rene was pulling every item they stocked I had mentioned earlier and assured me he would be calling his customer list to inform anyone who hadn't heard. Their database holds information on regular customers and the brands of pet foods they purchase I was so impressed and happy that he chose to take a very proactive stance on the matter.

Rene incidently is the person who recommended I put Eve on the Innova brand when I asked for advice and I am so glad I listened to him
