Dry Dog Food (Nutra Nuggets) Not On Recall List Test Positive For Melamine



A central California vet is reporting that tests on a bag of Nutra
Nuggets-brand dog food purchased from Costco tested positive for melamine.
Nutra Nuggets is not on any current recall list. We are working on getting
more specifics from the vet. A recall has not yet been issued.



    Veterinarian Dr. Matt Humason says "We began asking questions.we found
the dogs all ate the same food from the same store at the same time. so we
sent a sample to get it tested and it came back positive with melamine."



    All four dogs ate Nutra Nuggets brand food.



    A sample was sent to a lab at UC Davis and [the pet owner's] fears were
confirmed. "All I'm trying to get people to do is notify the people and let
them know we may have problem. Unfortunately I feel Costco has been very
hesitant to do that."



    .



    They're working with the distributor to track down the specific batch
number. A Costco representative tells KSEE 24 news once it's been tracked,
they will immediately yank the product in question.
