Inventoried on 4/11/07
Boise Consumer Co-op, holistic grocery, general merchandise, deli and pet foods.

No recalled pet food on shelves.  Store contained none of the same brands in common with recalled foods.  This store voluntarily pulled ALL Nutro wet foods at the beginning of the recall.  For a small store they had an excellent selection of dry and canned cat and dog foods.  This store carries the more holistic brands exclusively.  Kudos to you Boise Co-Op!
Note*  This store also carries some frozen Biologically Appropriate Raw Food, at least two brands but nothing intended solely for cats.

Just found this post now, so grateful to see someone else in Boise here! I went to both days Pet Expo at Fairgrounds this wkend. Vendor after vendor of pet foods had nothing but the company spin on their products.  I've felt like a lone voice calling out in the wilderness here trying to keep folks updated on the recalls. Boise Co-op has been on top of it, unlike Winco (where I did manager to pull some product.)  Last night noticed some Alpo and Science Diet cans, need to check the codes on them yet and get back over there.   PetCo on Federal Way stated on phone today, "..if it's on the shelves it's safe to buy." We'll see, can anyone else help check the PetCo's? Freida in Boise, 4/30/07

Hello Frieda,

There have been so many new recalls that I have not been able to keep up with it.  I started out by visiting several retailers including the PetCo on Milwaukie.  As soon as I would go in and spend time checking on product new recalls were anounced or anticipated imminently and I would have to have gone right back.  Unfortunately, my time constraints don't allow this.   I work full time  and have been spending a great deal of my non work hours caring for my sick cat (sub q-fluids every night and too many trips to the vet to count.)  Shortlly before the RPC recalls started I had visited Zamzows on Federal way, they were clear at that time, H3Pet food in Meridian, they are working very hard to stay on top of it.  I keep telling them to check Howl911/Itchmo every day.  I shop there and they have been clear whenever I have been in, although there reps didn't notify them of the original New Balance recall for three days.  H3Pet foods has a great selection of grain free dry foods and a wonderful variety of Raw frozen for dogs and cats!!!   They are great about  ordering things in for you.

I feed breeders choice, active care. Have to go to Emmett but worth the drive. Small company that makes their own food. Zamzows should be OK too.

Good Luck

I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.
