Iams, Eukanuba dog and cat food recalled for potential salmonella contamination

Procter & Gamble and the U.S. Food & Drug Administration have announced a recall of multiple lots of dry dog food and cat food sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands because of potential contamination from Salmonella.

Pet owners are at risk as well as pets if they handle contaminated dog or cat food or any surfaces exposed to the food and do not wash their hands thoroughly.

Although the recalled lots represent only 0.1 percent of all of P&G’s annual production, the Cincinnati-based company says the potentially contaminated food was shipped to multiple retailers across the United States.

The products include several different specialty Eukanuba and Iams dry dog foods and Iams dry cat foods, all with “Best By” dates during the first two weeks of November 2014. The full list of products and their lot numbers are available at this FDA web site: www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm365154.htm

Come One, Come All To The Eugene Celebration Parade!

On Saturday, August 24th we once again will strut our stuff in the annual Eugene Celebration Parade, representing the joys of loving Greyhounds and promoting their adoption. Those of you who have marched with us in the past, know just how enjoyable it is, and how we are beloved by the enthusiastic parade-watchers that line the route. Warm applause are peppered with encouraging cheers of "Go Greyhounds!" and "Yay for Greyhounds!" The very first time I stepped onto the parade route 6 years ago, I was stunned by the rousing reception we received and had to look behind me to see who they were cheering for.

This year’s walk in the parade will be the 4th time (last year’s Eugene Celebration Parade and twice in the Corvallis 4th of July Parade) that we have used our new couch-featuring float (for our 45 MPH couch potatoes), constructed by the talented Doug Campoli. There is room for a few Greyhounds to ride atop the float, and the rest of us will walk with our dogs in the usual fashion.

The parade begins at 10 AM, so plan to gather with us at least 30 minutes prior to that, even earlier if you would like to help decorate the float. If you plan to attend, please email Mary Lou at: finiganm@comcast.net so she can send you the details of where and when to meet. What a fun and wonderful way to spread the word about Greyhound adoption.

See you there!
