It doesn't seem to stop. Once you read an article about one recall it just leads you to many others. Here is some more recall info:

Canidae Lawsuit – In spite of widespread complaints of pet illness, Canidae has yet to issue a voluntary recall of its foods. Last year, the company issued a statement explaining that it had changed the food’s formulation and that pets needed to be transitioned gradually from the old to the new formula.

Specifically, the company cited the new food’s “increased levels of meat protein” and the “increased overall complex carbohydrate quality.”

However, angry consumers said Canidae was at best inconsistent in warning pet owners beforehand of the need for the gradual formula transition. Many claimed that neither the food nor the shelves on which it was stocked provided any warning that the formula had changed.

Some consumers have speculated that the new formula, which contains carbohydrates such as corn and barley, came as a shock to their dogs’ systems, which had become accustomed to the old formula’s more rice-centered composition. In September 2007, a lab report allegedly showed that a Canidae sample contained the painkiller acetaminophen, a charge which Canidae vehemently denied.

Chicken Jerky products made in China – FDA officials again cautioned consumers to be wary of feeding their dogs these products, which include chicken tenders, strips, or treats. Small dogs are at particularly at risk.

It all boils down to you, as the consumer to make smart choices and read labels. Take the time to find out where your pet food, treats and supplements are made. If you call the company – do they answer your questions? What would happen in a recall – will they magically find you or hope that you hear about a recall on the news or reading a blog?

So, should there ever be any problems Life's Abundance knows who bought what and when and can contact them direct. To me, there is no better choice than Life's Abundance.

We have been representatives with them and knowing that when I receive my bag of Life's Abundance dog food it is shipped generally within 4-6 weeks from being manufactured is another huge plus!
