More and more pet food and treats are being recalled everyday. Dogs,cats and birds have all been affected by recalls in the last 30 days.
To find out about dog and cat food/treat recalls the best site that I have found is Dog Food Advisor. You can sign up for an email alert for when a recall is announced.
For birds the best thing to do is to go directly to the FDA . Unfortunately there is not an email system in place at this time.
When a pet food is recalled, do not panic. Though I know that is what we all want to do. Right now many companies are acting responsibly and doing a volunteer recall. They have not had problems, however they use a common factory so they are doing this out of concern for pets and their people. These are the good guys.
Simply go to the manufacturers site get the information and check your bags. With the current dog and cat recalls most of the foods that are affected are in the Midwest/East Coast. However this could change.
The food that is being recalled comes from Diamond. A huge manufacturer that makes the food for many companies. Most dog food companies do not own their own plant.
For the birds, it is a nationwide problem.
If you need to switch foods Pet Food Direct has written a great little instruction sheet on how to do it.
I have been really fortunate since I feed The Honest Kitchen and it has not been a part of any of these recalls. Check out their website and see what they are doing right. There is a free e book available. While this may not be the right food for everyone out there the information is free and it is worth taking a look at a company that is doing something right.
Very useful ideas you have shared here. Amazing! I appreciate that. Thanks for sharing this incredible stuff.

The most appropriate choice of food should be made in consultation with your veterinarian, taking into account your pet's lifestyle, age and overall health.

We should be more aware of choosing cat food. This will make our pets away from danger.
