There has been another dog food recall.... this time with VIVA RAW PETS. Here is a message from the company (thank you Jill!):
https://vivarawpets.com/pages/recall-in ... 0cZ-9ZkNC0

THe following is the Dog Food Advisor notice:

Viva has recalled one lot of Viva Duck for Dogs (Ground), Viva Duck for Dogs (Chunked), Viva Duck for Cats and Viva Pure Duck (for cats and dogs) due to potential Salmonella, Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

The lot under recall is Lot 22853. The product is distributed as frozen 1lb bricks in clear vacuum packaging. Viva started shipping this lot out on 10/24/23 and the last units were distributed on 12/06/23.

For more details please see the full article on the Dog Food Advisor or visit the Viva website.
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........

Leo has been on Viva raw rabbit recipe for long time and it always worked great for him. I’m glad that I started to cook it after Leo first showed GI signs because I was worried about further bacteria infection…

The Viva company sounds like they are doing everything they can to figure out why this happened. .... but i too like to lightly cook all the foods i give my dogs. With meat, if done at 325 degrees.... that is enough to kill a lot of bacteria without destroying the nutrients.
