Re: Unauthorized Sales of Contaminated Pet & Livestock Consumable Products
Dear Valued Customers,
Consumable products such as food and treats for pets and livestock salvaged from the fire at our Abbotsford location have unfortunately entered the marketplace through unauthorized channels. The salvage of these contaminated consumable products is a breach of contract between Buckerfield’s and our insurer, who had agreed to discard and dispose of these items.
We want to emphasize that purchasing these contaminated items is not worth the risk to the health and safety of your animals.
Please be on the lookout on reseller channels such as Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, or Craigslist for pet and livestock food and treats being sold at discounted prices. These items are potentially dangerous for your animals to consume, and therefore we urge you to not purchase from these resellers.
If you have already purchased these items, please do not feed them to your animals and dispose of the items in your municipal compost or garbage.
Buckerfield’s Abbotsford location has reopened for business, is an authorized seller of pet and livestock consumable products, which is once again well-stocked, and we are eager to welcome you and your pets back to our store where you can safely do your shopping.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Armstrong
General Manager
