Very upsetting stuff at our house :o(

[RottiMommy49]

This is so awefull

I would be so ticked off at the store who sold that old stock just to save themselves money at your pets expense. Thank God it didn't kill the furbabies. My prayers are with your kids for a speedy recovery.

Thank God that food didn't hurt them!!!!
I can't believe a store would have a bag of food that old on their shelf!!!!!

I hope the upset tummies go away soon, and Emerson and Malone feel as good as new asap!!

I am glad to see that the company has offered compensation, and the store gave you a fresh bag in exchange.

I'm glad to see that you got a positive response from the manufacturer. We feed Lady blue seal, and have never had any problems with the food. Some time ago, when we had just gotten Lady, we got some formed rawhide sticks from the local grocery store, and there was a piece of sharp metal in one of thenm. Thank god I spotted it before she ingested it. We complained to the manufacturer, and got no reply whatsoever. Glad to hear someone out in the pet food world actually cares about their customers.

I hope the boys are feeling better soon. That is awful, i will definatly be checking expiry dates from now on.

Poor Emerson and Malone! Upset tummy's are no fun.

Good on the manufacturer for trying to make things right. *hugs*

[cyber-sibes]

What an experience! I've never noticed the expiratin date either, but I will look now! I'm glad the manufacturer was so concerned- but I wonder how in the world something SO out of date could even end up on a shelf for sale! Hope your pups are fully recovered soon!

Anna, how are Emerson and Malone doing?

Malone & Emerson are doing MUCH better!! Eating (or should I say GOBBLING) un-spoiled food, normal #2's and we are happy!! Thanks for asking, Chris!

[Logan]

So glad to see a good update with your precious labby boys. That's awful about the food... you know my husband worked in the shipping department for a pet store when he was in college, and he had to go out and check the dates on the bags every week or so, and pull any off that were close to the expiration date. How negligent of them to let it sit there expired like that.

Glad to hear your boys are doing better!

I hope your babies are doing well...

Great response from the company. I'm actually quite surprised. And impressed. Keep us updated, please.


Recently I bought canned dog food that was on sale and it made Smokey sick. I didn't even think to check the experation date (and the recycling was already out). I checked the other cans I bought & they were good 'til 2006 and he didn't get sick. So maybe it was just that particular "flavor" but it still makes me wonder...
(note: I don't usually look for a bargain on dog food but it was the same brand I always buy, just the smaller cans)
