Orijen Recall Update- BUT should you still feed it?

Hello again fellow readers.

First a short update on the Orijen Recall.

The Orijen Cat Food has so far ONLY
affected cats in Australia.

NO North American Cat have been affected.

BUT it is expected that HUNDREDS of cats in
Australia are affected.

I talked to a company representative yesterday, and
they still don’t know what is causing this.

They have tested for the toxin that I wondered
about, – yet the definitive toxin has yet to
be discovered.

The irradiation appears to be affecting some
component of the food.

Here is a more current story on
the Orijen Cat Paralysis in Australia:

————————————————

Cat food firm blames deaths on quarantine controls

Kelly Burke Consumer Affairs Reporter

THE Canadian manufacturer at the centre of a local
pet food scare caused by paralysis in more than 40
cats has placed the blame squarely on the shoulders
of the Australian Government.

In a statement released yesterday, Champion Petfoods,
of Alberta, said it was pulling out of the Australian
market after independent tests from a US laboratory
on its Orijen brand of cat food showed that dangerous
levels of irradiation mandated by the Australian
Government appeared to be to blame for the outbreak
of serious illness among Australian cats.

Five animals have so far had to be put down, although
it is believed a number of cats in other states were
also destroyed before the link to the Orijen brand of
food had been made.

The company, which exports to 50 countries, said only
Australia demanded its pet food be irradiated because
Orijen was not highly processed or cooked at the same
high temperatures as most other imported pet foods.

Citing a US study last year which found that levels
between 36 and 47 kiloGrays of Cobalt 60 gamma rays
were linked to neurological symptoms similar to those
found in the affected Australian cats, the pet food
company said the minimum level of 50 kGYs demanded by
the Australian Government for the imported product was
clearly excessive, and had possibly led to a serious
depletion of vitamin A.

The only human foods approved for irradiation in Australia
are imported herbs and spices, ranging from 10 to 30 kGYs,
and tropical fruit, irradiated at no more than 1 kGY.

A spokesman for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries
& Forestry said Australia required all dry and semi-dried
pet food to be either heat-treated or irradiated and
Orijen was just one of a number of pet food manufacturers
that exported to Australia.

“No other manufacturer has reported any similar issues,”
he said.

The Sydney cat neurologist who first identified the link
between the pet food and the outbreak of illness in the
local cat population, Dr Georgina Child, was sceptical
of the company’s claims.

“There is nothing to suggest any of the cats I have seen
are vitamin A deficient … and while all the cats have
eaten Orijen, most have also eaten a variety of other
foods,” she said.

The study quoted by the company was based on the findings
of just eight cats and concluded that further research
was required to support any link between vitamin A depletion,
irradiation and neurological illness, Dr Child said.

P.S. So should you feed this to your cat now?

All of the Orijen Cat Food is produced at their
plant in Alberta- then shipped. The toxic Australian
food originated from there.

And How is it that other pet foods have NOT been
affected by irradiation except for Orijen?

I am not going to feed it to my cat, OR sell it
at my practice until they determine WHAT is causing
this.

P.P.S. The moral of the story here?

Well be wary of what you feed your dog or cat.

Check for testimonials, and look to see that
the company is trustworthy, testing to ensure
that the food is Safe, and that what is ON
the label is in the bag.

“…she runs up and down the porch stairs like a puppy…”

“I have a nine year old Toy Poodle that was having some
stiffness in her back legs. Since she has been on your
Canine Health Formula she runs up and down the porch
stairs like a puppy. She is always game for a walk and
isn’t stiff in her back legs when we are finished walking.
I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing I have
the proper supplements in one easy jar to add to her food.
She is a pretty picky eater but has still eaten her food
with the supplement mixed in. I add a little water so it
make a gravey and she eats is right up.

Thanks for all the good your do for a precious animals and
the peace of mind you give us owners with your books and
information.

Sincerely, ”

“…the real improvement came after 2 weeks on your supplement…”

“Dr. Andrew

I have 5 dogs, 3 dogs under 6 pounds and two larger dogs, 60
pounds each. They have been on Organix dog food for four months
with some general improvement. But the real improvement came
after 2 weeks on your supplement.

The eldest, the sharpei, Oilcan Boyd, (10 years old), has begun
appearing in more places more of the time, instead of sleeping
and staying on his bed. His eyes are clearer, and wide open,
and he is standing at alert. He is going up and down the stairs
again. He awakens one son by staring at his face, 2 inches from
his nose as he did years ago. He is back to guarding the front
door by lying where he can see our the side window. We are delighted.

The 7 year old basset, Doodle, who slimmed out nicely on the Organix,
is now holding his head higher, with eyes noticeably brighter and
a new life to his step. We believe we fended off arthritis. He has
one middle toe on his front foot that x-rays showed is full of
arthritis from breaks. He is an escape artist who breaks the fence
into the woods and bounds over fallen trees, landing and hurting
this toe we believe. He is walking and running now with no hesitation.
Limping does not come as quickly as it did before.

The four year old Yorkie, Jubilee, is calmer. We were wondering if
he was beginning to have arthritis in his back as he tends to “fly”
off the couch, (despite the stairs provided), which is not supposed
to be good for them. But again, all indications of discomfort have
receeded.

The baby Yorkie, 8 months, Tonto, finally began to put on a few ounces
of weight and his coat is becoming less dry and brittle towards becoming
soft. We have struggled to feed him trying to find anything that wouldn’t
give him gastro trouble. He is like an attention deficit child, not
interested in eating. He might take one bite to a private place to eat
it, and then move on to see what he missed while he was away. His ribs
used to show. I am feeding the supplement to all of them mixed in fish
canned cat food in the morning. Tonto, the Yorkie puppie, will stay for
three forkfulls. Then I sit him on the counter and he allows me to put a
few more forkfulls in his mouth which he willingly will eat. You can no
longer see his ribs.

Tula-belle is an 18 month old shitzu whose puppies were taken away from
her and she was spayed at birth due to the need of a ceasarean section.
She tends to depression. The supplement seems to have made her more
like a young dog, happier and active and full of joy some of the time.
It is wonderful to see.

Commendations. And thank you. God smiles on those who care for His
creatures. I believe you bring God great joy.”

“I am totally amazed at the results…”

“Hi Dr. Jones,

I just wanted to let you know that I was a little skeptical about your dog
food supplement and I questioned myself why I wanted to be suckered into
something like this but truthfully I am totally amazed at the results I
have seen in my Beagle-terrier mix 7yr. old female dog.

Just to give you a little background info. We live on a dairy farm and my
husband ran over her and broke her pelvic area with one of our very large
tractors and I thought that this was the end of her. We took her to the Vet
and with a lot of meds, pain killers and patience she got well. Again 2yrs.
Ago she went paralyzed in her hind quarters and off to the Vet we went.
Somehow this miracle dog pulled through and walked but not quite the same.
Lately she has been not so playful and laying around a lot, that is when
I told my husband that I found this Canadian Vet that had this dog supplement
I wanted to try.

Dr. Jones, my husband & I can hardly believe this is the same dog.

Thank you for a wonderful product. ”

Mrs. Jill Kline, Bloomsburg, PA

“In just a couple weeks I have seen an increase in their energy and a
shiner coat…”

“I Want to thank you though for introducing me to your ultimate canine
health formula. I purchased it a few weeks ago.

I have two Yorkies one ten yrs. @7# and one twelveyrs.@ 5#. I mixed the
formula in their dry food. Boy did they chow down. In just a couple weeks
I have seen an increase in their energy and a shiner coat. They are
demanding me to play with them now. Yes you know the high pitched bark
of come on. LOL

I’m really glad I tried it for them. Thank you for caring for the animals.”

Pat Hester, GA

“…noticed the changes almost immediately…”

“We have just started our golden doodle on your Ultimate Canine Heath
Formula and have noticed the changes almost immediately. He loves the
taste of it, and we’ve noticed he’s calmer, looks more alert, sleeping
better, and definitely more focused in paying attention to us. We had a
problem getting his attention outside especially with “playmates” around.
For the short time we’ve given him your product, he’s responding quicker,
and listening – I can see how training, probably for any breed of dog,
can be made easier taking your supplements, besides the health benefits.

Thank you for a great product.”
