VOLUNTARY PET FOOD RECALL – 5/5/2012

Diamond Pet Foods has voluntarily recalled several brands as a precautionary measure because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.  We stock four of these foods at both locations of The Whole Dog Market: Taste of the Wild, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul, Natural Balance, and Canidae.  Only kibble is included in the recall at this point.

It’s important to note that no samples batches of any of these brands have tested positive for salmonella.  However, if you’ve purchased Taste of the Wild, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul, Natural Balance, or Canidae at The Whole Dog Market or elsewhere, you can follow the link below to determine whether your bag in included in the recall.

RECALL PRODUCTION CODES

If you purchased on of these brands at The Whole Dog Market and your bag is included in the recall, you may return it to either location of The Whole Dog Market for a full refund.  Our Guroos will be happy to recommend a similar brand for your pup(s)!

If you have questions regarding this recall, you can email us at wdmarket@doguroo.com and we will respond as thoroughly as possible.  Stay tuned for Tweets, Facebook posts, and/or future emails from The Whole Dog Market covering the latest news on this developing recall.
