I thought that this might be of importance to some of you who feed this and might have had a sick dog. I know nothing about it.....just passing it along.

Conant http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/canidae.html Received this from Midland Kennel Club, I was told to feed this food by Legend's breeder. Legend refused to eat it and I listened to him thank goodness. This might be something you want to send to our kennel club members of Grand Rapids and Muskegon.

Canidae Dog Food Class Action A class action lawsuit against the corporations that run Canidae seeks damages for pet owners whose pets were allegedly harmed as a result of eating Canidae dog food products. The Canidae defendants are accused of marketing, manufacturing, and/or distributing Canidae dog food, which, the plaintiff claims, has produced the following illnesses in scores of cherished pet companions: * loose, bloody stool * rectal bleeding * vomiting * lack of energy * death For more information, contact: Khurram Qidwai (PH: 312.787.2717) Email: khurram@progressive law.com For Immediate Publication CLASS ACTION FILED AGAINST THE MAKERS OF CANIDAE DOG FOOD Madison, Wisconsin, January 26, 2009 A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of dog owners nationwide against the makers of CANIDAE brand dog food, seeking payment of veterinarian bills for dogs who allegedly took ill after consuming the food between last summer and the present. The lawsuit also asks the Court to order the defendants, Canidae Corporation and Diamond Pet Foods, to launch a corrective informational campaign. Affected dogs have experienced rectal bleeding, loose and bloody stools, lethargy, and death, according to consumer complaints posted on internet forums and websites. "We can't push back the clock: if hundreds or thousands of dogs have suffered, that can't be reversed. But the lawsuit at least gives dogs and their owners an avenue for redress", stated Ilan Chorowsky, one of the plaintiff's lawyers with the Progressive Law Group, which has offices in Madison, Wisconsin and Chicago, Illinois. The Animal Law Center, Rosner & Mansfield LLP, and Doyle Lowther LLP also represent the plaintiff.
