More recalls likely-

yeti.jpg
Yeti passed away on 3-31-2007 after eating recalled dog food. He was a very good boy, and will be missed. Yeti is not one of the official 16 dead pets.

Update, 4/23: 4,458 pets have been reported as deceased into the Pet Connection database.

After nearly 6 weeks of pet recalls, we are still waiting for more.
The FDA has yet name the other two pet food companies that Wilbur-Ellis shipped the tainted rice protein to, and now there is a second US distributor that is being checked into as well. The second distributor has come to our attention via inside information shared with the senate investigators NOT the FDA.

As we have come to expect, Pet Connection, has the latest scoops.
They have done a great job disseminating all the information,and there is a lot of new information this morning.
