Keeping our favorite furry friends happy & healthy is very important to Mr. Mutt & I. Our 5 babies (oh yes, they are truly our "kids") all have very unique personalities & keep Mr. Mutt & I in stitches year round. We know that all you pet parents out there feel the same way about your "kids" which is why I try to keep on top of recent Dog Food Recalls to alert you to potential problems your pups could encounter. Unfortunately, there are two to report:

The first is: Petrus Feed and Seed Stores, Inc. announced a voluntary recall of its dry dog food – 21% Protein Dog Food in 40 lb Petrus Feed bags.
