Red Flannel Cat Food Recalled!

Pet food maker PMI Nutrition on Saturday voluntarily recalled selected 20-pound bags of Red Flannel Cat Formula cat food because of possible salmonella contamination.

The  recall involves food manufactured for PMI by another company and  distributed in 23 states. The affected states are Alabama, Georgia,  Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan,  Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Jersey, New  York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont,  Wisconsin and West Virginia.

The recalled food has a best-buy date and lot number of 05 06 14 096 13 SM L2 1A. The code is printed on the lower back side of the bag in a white box on the right-hand side. The product’s UPC code is 7 42869 00058 5.

No pet illnesses have been linked to the Red Flannel food, which the company reported was recalled "out of an abundance of caution” after routine testing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration revealed possible salmonella contamination.

Symptoms of salmonella poisoning in pets include lethargy, diarrhea, fever and vomiting. People who handle contaminated pet products may exhibit similar symptoms.

PMI Nutrition, which is based in Arden Hills, Minn., urged customers to stop using the recalled food and to return it to the place of purchase for a refund or replacement.
 
The company is answering customers’ questions at 800-332-4738 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST Monday through Friday.

We're turning ONE!

 

It's hard to believe it's almost been a year since our inspection with the state veterinary board! (February 7, 2013)  The past year has flown by!  We've enjoyed meeting new clients and learning about their animals.  The kind word and referrals have helped the practice grow faster than we ever imagined!  As a thank you for your continued support we are offering 10% off spring vaccines to our large animal clients for the entire month of February!

 

Even though we've only been opened a short time we've had several exciting opportunities including the purchase of an ultrasound machine and our partnership with ABS Global.  As our practice continues to grow we will try to continue addressing the needs of our clients.  With the addition of our new website we hope to provide valuable information to our clients.  We will {try to} provide weekly blog posts from Leslie & Yancy, other veterinarians, and industry professionals!  We believe one of our most important jobs is educating our clients so that as a team we can provide the best care to our patients!  If you have a specific topic you'd like to see a post on please let us know, we want these posts to benefit you!

Thanks for your continued support, we look forward to service you for many years to come!
