Eeeew, that's not good....

We used to feed Sassy Ol'Roy but my Mom said Sassy didn't eat it or something because she didn't like it. When we switched back to Nature's Reciepe she ate agian.

thank god I've never touched any of those!

That's the one food my parents will never feed. And I'm so glad they understand that it's a horrible food.

Yeah it really is. Sassy hated it and we didn't even have it a day. :rolleyes:

Here's a post *stolen* from another site tha's a little easier to read:

June 12, 2006 (NOTE Date - this didn't "just happen")

Re: 22 Oz. Canned Pet Food

Simmons Pet Food, Inc. is voluntarily recovering 22 oz. canned wet dog food manufactured
with "use by" dates between March 16, 2008 and June 6, 2008.

Simmons has discovered an issue regarding random flaking of the inside coating of the can. The incidence rate is less than 0.1%

This coating was approved for direct contact with food under USFDA 21 CFR 175.300 in 1971 and since 1971 it has worked well on billions of cans for many manufacturers of various types of human and pet food. However, even though the incidence of failure of the inside coating is low, Simmons feels it is in the best interest of our customers to voluntarily recover this product from the marketplace.

22oz. Pot Luck Canned Pet Food UPC 72562326232

We request removal, segregation and return of the above mentioned products to point of purchase for credit. We have already begun production to return replacement product to our customer's shelves.

We are undertaking this action in cooperation with the US Food and Drug Administration.

Most everyone, anyway. And those that aren't we offer to educate them :)

Good thing we don't buy that.

Never fed Belle Ol'Roy once, thank goodness.

That was scary...

my mom and dad give Kirby some canned dog food in the mornings and i wasnt sure what kind.
but luckily they dont give him Ol'roy crap... they give him Pedigree

Ol'Roy kept my Paxil alive when she had cancer. She refused to eat anything--not raw meat, not cooked meat, not fish, not other kibble, not canned food. Absolutely nothing, except Ol'Roy Meaty Chunks and Gravy! I can't even remember how we came to have it around, must have been a donation. For a few weeks, that's all she ate. I wouldn't feed it long term, but it kept Paxil going long enough to fight the cancer that could have easily killed her. Everything else was fixable later....she suffered no ill effects from the food though.

She still refuses to eat sometimes, but now a chunk of raw moose usually gets her chewing again!

I used to buy Fenway the Bacon treats.

I don't shop at WalMart anymore, but when I did I used to buy tons of treats at X-Mas time and give them to my local humane society.
