Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who is feeding Evanger's Hunk of Beef with Au Jus canned dog food .
Pet Food has not issued a recall yet, but a representative told KATU that an effort to test unopened cans is underway.
This was on the news here, our news link below
http://www.wilx.....35015.html
I would hate for anyone to take the chance on this food until it is all been tested and confirmed one way or another .
Very sad!

Wow! Hunk of Beef was Otis' last meal. He loved that stuff.
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

The Truth About Pet Food: Some Answers to two Pentobarbital Recalls
Evangers has claimed in a video statement to the public “we didn’t even know about pentobarbital until this past Sunday” (video published 2/7/17). If this statement is true, it shows this pet food company was not aware of a very well known risk; euthanized animal meat is very common to pet food (per FDA testing). If true, it also shows this pet food company trusted their meat supplier way too much – it shows they did not check, double check and triple check the safety and quality of their ingredients.
If the supplier misled Evangers – and this could be the case – the pet food company was still responsible for the quality/integrity of the meats purchased. Consumers need all pet food manufacturers to be diligent in sourcing safe, quality ingredients.

Yeah, I had read that. It wasn't that specific one but Evangers brand. I am too scared to feed that brand again. It was more a pate that I fed. Too scary.
Enough health issues with this pack without having to worry about the brand of canned food.
Been using Tru Dog toppers instead.

Wellness Dog Food Recall of March 2017
http://www.dogf.....arch-2017/
March 18, 2017 — Wellpet of Tewksbury, MA, is voluntarily recalling http://www.well.....etter.aspx
a limited amount of one canned dog food because it may contain elevated levels of naturally occurring beef thyroid hormone.
What’s Being Recalled?
Recalled product includes:
Wellness 95% Beef Topper for Dogs
Size: 13.2 ounce cans
Best-By Dates: 02 FEB 19, 29 AUG 19 and 30 AUG 19
Best-By dates can be found on the bottom of each can.
No other Wellness products are affected.
About the Recall
Elevated levels of thyroid hormone may affect a dog’s metabolism and can be associated with increased thirst and urinary output, restless behavior and weight loss.
Multiple studies indicate that for the vast majority of pets, symptoms are reversible as soon as the pet stops eating product with elevated thyroid hormone.
Because the recipe is a mixer or topper and intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only, the likelihood of a dog being affected is remote.
WellPet has received no reports of any health problems as a result of feeding the affected recipe.
However, the company is voluntarily recalling three best-by dates as an extra level of precaution.
What to Do?
If you have any of the 13.2 ounce cans of this specific recipe and marked with one of the three best-by dates, please email the company at wecare@wellpet.com
Or call the company at 877-227-9587.
U.S. citizens can report complaints about FDA-regulated pet food products by calling the consumer complaint coordinator in your area.
Or go to http://www.fda......complaints.
Canadians can report any health or safety incidents related to the use of this product by filling out the Consumer Product Incident Report Form.
