NEW YORK (WABC) – A pet food company remembers some dry food for a life-threatening ingredient that has been linked to the deaths of dozens of dogs.
The FDA warns pet owners and veterinarians about certain Sportmix pet foods made by Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. They can contain lethal levels of aflatoxin, a toxin produced by mold.
At least 28 dogs died and eight others were sick with the product.
Some of the reported symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, vomiting, jaundice and diarrhea. In some cases, pets may have liver damage, but no other symptoms.
Pet owners should stop feeding pets with withdrawn products and consult their veterinarian, especially if their pet shows any signs of illness.
The list of recalled pet foods includes:
