[nagdu] dog food take #173

[Hannah Chadwick]

I did call my local pet food store today and was told that this is mostly
happening in the East Coast. Guess there's not a lot to be worried about, at
least not at the moment.

Hello All,
Anise eats Natural Balance, and this is one of the brands that was affected
the most. However, the state I am in did not receive damaged food.
Therefore, I am not being affected. I'm not sure if that is the case for
other food brands as well. Just thought I'd mention that not all states are
due for recall.
Best,
Juanita And Anise
