After 28 Dogs Die

A pet food company is recalling several types of its Sportmix-brand dry foods for dogs and cats after 28 dogs died and eight others fell ill, possibly from ingesting fatal levels of a toxin that is produced by mold.

The company, Midwestern Pet Foods Inc. of Evansville, Ind., announced the voluntary recall on Wednesday of some of its Sportmix products distributed nationally online and in retail stores after tests showed that levels of the toxin, aflatoxin, exceeded acceptable limits.

Aflatoxin is produced by the mold Aspergillus flavus, which can grow on corn and grains that are used as ingredients in pet food, the F.D.A. said. At high levels, the toxin can cause pets to become ill or die, or cause liver damage without symptoms, the department said. The toxin, it said, can still be present even if there is no visible mold.

Dogs are, without question, the most loyal creatures on Earth. And this unconditional love and loyalty is proved once again by a photo that recently won the internet – a service dog refusing to leave her mom’s hospital room

But this special connection started when Shauna Darcy decided a dog would help her in her endless fight with anxiety. And she wasn’t wrong at all. Because, with Ruby there was love at first sight. And the lovely pup has proved to be more than a service dog. Without realizing, when Shauna got Ruby, she won a friend. A true one!

Can pets transmit the coronavirus disease?

At this time, there is no evidence that pets, including cats and dogs, play a role in spreading COVID-19 to people. The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads mainly from person to person, typically through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking.

People sick with COVID-19 should isolate themselves from other people and animals, including pets, during their illness until we know more about how this virus affects animals. If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wear a cloth face covering and wash your hands before and after you interact with pets.

If You Have Pets

What you need to know

A small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, have been reportedexternal icon to be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after close contact with people with COVID-19.

Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.

It appears that the virus that causes COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations.

Treat pets as you would other human family members – do not let pets interact with people outside the household.

If a person inside the household becomes sick, isolate that person from everyone else, including pets.

This is a rapidly evolving situation and information will be updated as it becomes available.

COVID-19 and Animals

We do not know the exact source of the current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but we know that it originally came from an animal, likely a bat.

At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.

Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.

More studies are needed to understand if and how different animals could be affected by COVID-19.

We are still learning about this virus, but it appears that it can spread from people to animals in some situations.

Every day dogs are bred at an alarming rate purely for the sake of selling them later for a massive profit.

Dogs are being sold in the U.S. for ridiculously high prices and this is making dog breeding a serious problem. Demand that Congress set a price cap on dog sales to take away the incentive for dog breeders.

Do you share Thanksgiving food with your dog? Here’s what’s safe — and what isn’t.......

SAFE
▪ Turkey: As long as the turkey isn’t seasoned with onions, garlic or excessive salt/seasonings, it’s safe for dogs to eat, according to the American Kennel Club. Just remove the extra fat and skin and make sure there aren’t any bones for them to choke on.

▪ Ham: Ham is safe for dogs to eat in moderation, AKC says. It’s high in sodium and fat, so if you choose to share it with your pup, only give them a little.

▪ Pork: Pork is also safe for dogs to eat, AKC says, and is easily digestible for them.

▪ Corn: As long as it’s off the cob, corn is safe for dogs, AKC says. It’s a common ingredient in dog foods.

▪ Bread: Although it’s best to not let dogs have bread because it’s high in carbohydrates and calories, it’s fine to give them a little bit, AKC says. Just make sure it doesn’t have any spices or raisins, which are unsafe for dogs.

▪ Cheese: As long as your dog isn’t lactose intolerant, it’s safe to give them cheese, AKC says. Cheeses that are lower in fat, like mozzarella or cottage, are best.

▪ Eggs: As long as they’re fully cooked, eggs are a great source of protein for dogs and can help if they have an upset stomach, AKC says.

UNSAFE
▪ Cooked bones: These are a choking hazards for dogs because they can splinter and get lodged in their throats, gums or intestinal tract, according to PetSmart. Rawhides and dog bones are a safe alternative for them.

▪ Raw meat: Raw and under-cooked meat can contain dangerous bacteria for your dog.

▪ Chocolate: Chocolate causes “overstimulation” in pet’s hearts, PetSmart says. Baker’s chocolate, commonly used during the holidays, is especially dangerous for dogs.

▪ Yeast dough: It can rise and cause gas to build up in your dog’s digestive system, which can be life-threatening, according to ASPCA.

▪ Xylitol: This is an artificial sweetener commonly used in baked goods and candy. It can cause low blood sugar and liver failure in dogs, according to PetSmart.

▪ Nuts: Nuts, such as almonds, pecans and walnuts, are high in oils and fats, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea, ASPCA says.

▪ Ice cream: If your Thanksgiving dessert includes ice cream, don’t share it with your dogs. It contains too much sugar for them, according to AKC.

▪ Alcohol: If your family or friends like to drink alcohol during Thanksgiving festivities, make sure to keep it out of your dog’s reach. It can cause serious problems and can be fatal, ASPCA says.

▪ Grapes and raisins: Anything with grapes and raisins shouldn’t be given to dogs, ASPCA says. They can cause kidney failure.

▪ Onions, garlic and chives: Dogs shouldn’t be given any foods that include these either. They can cause gastrointestinal irritation and red blood cell damage, according to ASPCA.

▪ Coffee: Although you may need coffee to get through Thanksgiving, make sure your dog doesn’t get a hold of it. Caffeine can cause high blood pressure, vomiting, restlessness, seizures and other problems, PetSmart says.

Do dogs really get jealous?
Since the evolutionary biologist made the observation in 1871, scientists have debated whether animals can actually feel jealousy, with many arguing it is an emotion that only humans exhibit. Now experts believe they have proven that dogs do get jealous when their owners give too much attention to a rival.
