Timberwolf Organics recalls two formulas
Due to recent reports from some customers, we have ordered that two formulas from three specific dates be pulled from the shelves. These are:
- Dakota Bison with ‘best by date’ of 12 Feb 2009
- Ocean Blue with ‘best by date’ of 20 Feb 2009
- Ocean Blue with best by date’ of 8 March 2009
The reported symptoms include dogs refusing to eat, diarrhea or vomiting. While the problem is inconsistent (not every dog eating food from those dates/bag show the symptoms and not every bag), to err on the side of caution have decided to pull the formulas produced with the above dates. Initial testing has come back negative for problems and further testing is pending results.
As soon as the cause of this reported problem is determined procedures will be put into place to ensure that an event like this cannot happen again. Please be assured that no other formulas and Ocean Blue and Dakota Bison with dates other than ones listed above are not affected.
