Carnivore Meat Company Is Recalling Select Products And Lots Of Carnivore Vital Essentials Pet Food

 Carnivore Meat Company, LLC Voluntarily Issues a RecallVoluntarily Issues a RecallTwo Batches of Raw Pet Treats

 Carnivore Meat Company, LLC is recalling select products and lots of Carnivore Vital Essentials pet foods because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeriamonocytogenes.

Healthy cats and dogs rarely become sick from Listeria monocytogenes. In humans, however, Listeria is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

If an animal becomes ill with Listeria, it will display symptoms similar to the ones listed above for humans. People with concerns about whether their pet has Listeria should contact their veterinarian.

The lots involved in this voluntary recall are:
Vital Essentials Frozen Beef Tripe Patties, UPC 33211 00809, Lot # 10930, Best by date 20160210
Vital Essentials Frozen Beef Tripe Nibblets, UPC 33211 00904, Lot # 10719, Best by date 12022015

The "Best By" date code and lot # is located on the back of the package. The affected product was distributed in WA, CA, TX, GA, IL, CO, NM, FL, PA, RI, OH and VT.

This voluntary recall has been issued because the FDA has reported an independent lab detected the bacteria in samples during a recent review. The company has received no reports of human illness as a result of these products.

If you are a consumer and have purchased a bag of Vital Essentials Frozen Beef Tripe Patties with the "Best By" date code of 20160210 or a bag of Frozen Beef Tripe Nibblets with a "Best By" date code of 12022015, we ask that you please call 920-370-6542 Monday-Friday 9:00AM-4:00PM CST and someone will assist you in obtaining replacement or a full refund from your local retailer for your original purchase.

If your package has been opened, please dispose of the raw food in a safe manner by securing it in a covered trash receptacle.

Representatives are available from Monday - Friday 9:00AM - 4:00PM CST at 920-370-6542.

Who's Going To Win The Dirty Dog Contest Sponsored By Wahl And GreaterGood.org

WAHL REVEALS BEST SHELTER DOG MAKEOVERS IN AMERICA

 – Pet grooming leader partners with GreaterGood to put new face on adoption –

 More than 8 million dogs enter shelters each year, and a vast majority of them are dirty and matted. Unfortunately, less than half of these dogs are getting the grooming they need so their lovable, adoptable selves can shine through.  

 That’s why Wahl and GreaterGood.org have teamed up with shelters nationwide to demonstrate how the transformative power of grooming can help shelter dogs find their forever home.

                                                                                                                                                             
 Introducing the Dirty Dogs Before & After Gallery
 “When it comes to pet adoption, a first impression is crucial in determining if an animal will find a family,” says Shay Moeller, pet product manager for Wahl. “By providing pet shelters with the grooming supplies they need we can demonstrate that the same animals often perceived to be 'damaged goods' are actually healthy, fun loving pets deserving of a new home.”

It’s this mission that has motivated Wahl over the past four years. To date, the company’s donation of all-natural pet shampoos has helped shelters clean up more than 50,000 dogs. And with the help of these shelters, hundreds of amazing transformations have been captured through photos and compiled into the Dirty Dogs Before & After Gallery.

What makes this gallery unique is that visitors can view each animal as they arrived at their shelter, and after they were cleaned up. They can also search for adoptable dogs in their area, and learn more about their stories. What’s more, social media integration makes it easy for visitors to share a dog with friends or join a conversation already started.

Stella & Chewy’s Voluntarily Recalls Products Due to Possible Health Risk

 Stella & Chewy’s is voluntarily recalling some of its products due to concerns of a possible presence of Listeria Monocytogenes.
