PET FOOD RECALL

CINCINNATI, July 30, 2010 - The Procter & Gamble Company  is voluntarily expanding its recall to include veterinary and some specialized dry pet food as a precautionary measure because it has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella. No salmonella-related illnesses have been reported.

Sacramento Animal Hospital carries the following product:

Iams Veterinary Dry Formulas
All sizes & varieties date as "Best-By" 01Jul10 to 01Dec11

The affected products are sold in veterinary clinics and specialty pet retailers throughout the United States and Canada.  No canned food, biscuits/treats or     supplements are affected by this announcement.  A full listing of UPC codes can be found at www.iams.com.


 

We have decided to discontinue supplying

Advantage and Interceptor.

In our attempts to better serve you, we occasionally find it necessary to re-evaluate which veterinary products best fit with our practice standards.

We would like to stress that the efficacy of these products was not a factor in this decision. Our goal in making this change is simply to improve our ability to provide you with the best service possible: eliminating Interceptor and Advantage will allow us to stay on top of new developments in veterinary medicine by making room for newer products as they come to market.

For those of you who wish to continue using these products, Advantage is readily available over-the-counter at the large pet stores and Interceptor can be bought through online pharmacies. We will happily approve prescriptions, just ask our receptionists about signing our Internet Waiver Form and then order from the online pharmacy of your choice.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we believe that our decision will improve our ability to provide all of our clients with the most up-to-date, progressive veterinary care.
