According to Flint River Ranch Headquarters, there is a supplementary ingredient panel that you’ll find on the back of the bags, but it is the exact same formula just without the beef chunks in the previous formula.

You can order your FRR DryWater formula here:

The most recent pet food recall in 2013 comes from Natura Pet Brands (which is now owned by Procter & Gamble), and it’s their first ever dog food or cat food recall. Natura Pet is the manufacturer of Innova, EVO, California Natural and HealthWise dog foods and cat foods, and the company issued the recall on March 18th following the U.S. FDA confirming the presence of Salmonella in one of the company’s products.

A variety of formulas for dogs and cats from all four Natura product lines are involved in the recall, and details on the specific formulas and batches can be found at www.naturapet.com/recall.

The Natura Pet food recall is unrelated to several earlier pet food recalls in 2013, including:

• Diamond Pet Foods – Several brands of Diamond cat food were recalled on March 10th, 2013 due to a potential Vitamin B1 deficiency.
  [More Information]
• Nature’s Variety – One batch of Instinct Raw Organic Chicken Formula dog food and cat food was recalled on February 15th following the discovery of clear plastic pieces found in some bags that could create a potential choking risk to pets. [More Information]
• Bravo! Pet Foods – One batch of Bravo! Raw Food Diet Chicken Blend for Dogs and Cats was recalled on March 13th due to potential Salmonella bacteria contamination. [More Information]
• Steve’s Real Food – 5lb bags of Steve’s Real Food Turducken Canine Diet 8 ounce patties were recalled on March 8th after an inspection found a bag to be contaminated with Salmonella. [More Information]
• Hy-Vee – Several formulas of Hy-Vee Dog Food were recalled on February 25th due to elevated levels of aflatoxin, a chemical toxic mold contaminant typically found on corn. Aflatoxin was the main culprit in the 2005 and 2006 national recalls of Diamond Pet Foods that were initiated following the deaths of more than a dozen dogs.

We’ve provided a quick synopsis of the main pet food recalls of early 2013, and a more extensive list of pet food recall updates for pet foods and treats can be found on the U.S. FDA’s Pet Food Recalls site: http://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/safetyhealth/recallswithdrawals/default.htm

At A+ Flint River Ranch we’re always looking for ways to improve the shopping experience for our customers. We’re excited to announce another Flint River Ranch first — our latest innovation is a unique Referral Discount Program that will help save you and your friends money on Flint River Ranch pet foods and products.

Now when a new customer makes their first purchase at A+ Flint River Ranch and fills in your name as their referral in the “Referred by customer:” box, they’ll save 10% on their first order and you’ll automatically save 10% on your next order placed with us!

We’ve updated our shopping cart system to automatically provide the referral discount bonus for you without the need to enter any additional codes or comments, but there are several points to keep in mind for the Referral Discounts:

• The 10% Referral Discount will only apply after a new customer fills out a valid, existing A+ FRR customer’s name when creating their account and after placing their first order through the A+ Flint River Ranch website.
• The new customer doesn’t have to be a first-time customer of Flint River Ranch pet foods, but they do need to be a first-time customer on the A+ FRR site.
• While the new customer can be a family member or friend of the referring customer, the Referral Discount can’t be provided to members of the same household or residence.
• Existing customers can only apply one 10% Referral Discount per order, but when referring multiple new customers to A+ FRR, additional Referral Discounts can be applied to future orders.
• There’s a maximum $20 discount per new referral.

Nature’s Recipe has announced a voluntary recall for two lots of its Nature’s Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken due to the potential for Salmonella contamination.

While no illnesses have been reported in people or pets to date, Salmonella can affect pets eating the products and there is also a risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products

Dogs infected by Salmonella may have diarrhea (possibly bloody) and show signs of vomiting or lethargy, while other dogs may only have decreased appetite or abdominal pain. Pets infected by Salmonella are also at risk for infecting other animals and humans.

The Nature’s Recipe recall applies only to 19 ounce resealable pouches Nature’s Recipe Oven Baked Biscuits with Real Chicken, and is only applicable to bags with one of the following codes:

Lot code 2199TP, UPC 30521 51549, Best If Used By Date 10-11-13
Lot code 2200TP, UPC 30521 51549, Best If Used By Date 10-12-13

The recalled dog treats have been distributed nationally, primarily through pet specialty retailers. Nature’s Recipe has additional information regarding the recall on its website, and concerned customers are encouraged to contact the Nature’s Recipe Consumer Affairs team at 1-800-237-3856.

The new supply of Bonita Flakes have finally arrived — as have some exciting changes for the delectable cat treats!

First, the Bonita Flakes now have upgraded packaging.  The new cat treats feature a plain white bag now, which is sturdier for shipping, and will have a full color label for the first time.

Even better, we’re now offering the option of buying Bonita Flakes in multi packs to help you save money!  While the price on a single bag has gone up slightly due to the increase in the cost of the main Bonita fish ingredient, as well as shipping, we have made it easier to save money by ordering more than one bag at a time.

We have found that most customers like to order at least 2 Bonita Flakes bags at a time, and when doing do so the price will be the same as before.  And ordering one of the new 4-pack or 6-pack multi-packs will make the price even lower than it was before!

Since Bonita can be stored for a year or more in unopened bags, it will be a great way for you to save money on something your cats will absolutely love!

We’ve researched and culled through hundreds of articles associated with the most recent recalls and have summarized the findings in a new Pet Food Recalls page on our site:

2012 Diamond Dog Food Recall Due to Salmonella

Here’s a bit of background on the recalls:

To date, at least sixteen humans and innumerable dogs and cats have become sick or have died in 2012 (no human deaths reported) after eating and/or handling Diamond Pet Foods products or foods produced at Diamond plants, including at least one infant.

On May 29th the U.S. FDA reported that samples from two Diamond Pet Foods plants reported positive for Salmonella contamination, with Salmonella Liverpool identified at the plant in Meta, Missouri, and Salmonella Infantis in Gaston, South Carolina. The FDA initiated a week-long investigation on April 12th, 2012 of Diamond’s facility in South Carolina and found numerous violations, including notifying the company that its screening process for possible contaminants wasn’t thorough enough.

The recalled dog food products were sold or distributed in over thirty states and two countries, including Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Recalled dog food brands include:

Diamond
Diamond Naturals
Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul
Natural Balance
Wellness
Canidae
Solid Gold
Kirkland Signature
