Oh my gosh, I had called my vet a week and a half ago because I had three of 
four of my dogs become slightly ill. I had "borrowed" a little "dry" dog 
food from my daughters bag.  Only three had eaten ONE bowl of it and all 
three came down ill.

First was my border/aussie cross.  He had terrible runny stools for two days 
and was not eating at all. Totally unlike him as he's a pig.  layed around 
all day.  Never been sick before. I did make sure he drank which he did some 
but not great.  Thought at first that he just caught a bug, then worried 
WNV.  But he got better on the third day and has been fine.

What alarmed me was the same day he got "well" my other border/golden 
retriever came down ill. Same symptoms same behavior.  I called the vet and 
asked if they'd had any ill dogs recently and mentioned the symptoms. They 
said no, probably just a bug.

Then, my daughters little pekinese came down ill and we were a little 
worried about her as her stool had a little bit of blood.  However, since 
the vet had told me NOT to worry I didn't and she got better too.  
Instinctively, I changed the food for all three and the fourth dog, who had 
not eaten the other food was the only one fine.

A week or so later there is this recall! Well, (my daughters) her food was 
just listed and it is a dry kibble food by Purina.  Fortunately, our dogs 
were okay on their own and I think it is because I was suspicious of the 
food item.  Though maybe just to rich for them.

I think are dogs were lucky and possibly the tip of the iceburg.
