P&G DOG FOOD RECALL

If you haven't seen it already P&G is recalling some dog and cat foods. We have included the text of their press release and the information about the various dog foods below. (To see information about cat foods recalled visit the P&G website.)

The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has voluntarily recalled specific lots of dry pet food because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. These lots were distributed in the United States and represent roughly one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of annual production. No Salmonella-related illnesses have been reported to date in association with these product lots.

Salmonella can affect animals eating the products and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products.

Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.

Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

This issue is limited to the specific dry pet food lot codes listed below. This affects roughly one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of total annual production. The affected product was distributed to select retailers across the United States. These products were made during a 10-day window at a single manufacturing site. P&G's routine testing determined that some products made during this timeframe have the potential for Salmonella contamination. As a precautionary measure, P&G is recalling the potentially impacted products made during this timeframe. No other dry dog food, dry cat food, dog or cat canned wet food, biscuits/treats or supplements are affected by this announcement.

P&G is retrieving these products as a precautionary measure. Consumers who purchased a product listed below should stop using the product and discard it and contact P&G toll-free at 800-208-0172 (Monday - Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM ET), or via website at www.iams.com or www.eukanuba.com.

Media Contact: Jason Taylor, 513-622-1111.

CORRECTIONS & AMPLIFICATIONS

We strive to deliver accurate information quickly, but from time to time, we make mistakes. And when we do we update the database, we also update the copy of this newsletter that's on the website and then publish the correct information in the next edition of the newsletter. In addition, many of the Rankings depend largely on the handler and whether that handler is an amateur or a pro.

If you believe a results or handler is listed incorrectly, please let us know!

You are receiving this email because you registered with RetrieverResults.com, expressed interest in the web site or your dog placed in or finished a recent event. If you no longer wish to receive this email, unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of the page. This will not affect any account you may have with RetrieverResults.com.

Data in RetrieverResults are drawn from print, telephonic and electronic sources we believe to be reliable. When the source material lists two handlers, we generally take the first one unless we have direct knowledge of who handled the dog. To correct any errors or omissions, please use the feedback link on the website or send an email to feedback@retrieverresults.com.
