Friends:
If you purchased the green 20 oz bag of Innova dog biscuits--the
large size biscuits--for your pupsters, please check the expiration
date for a December 08 expiration date. This is the batch in
question.

Someone in the neighborhood who just recently purchased some biscuits
at Bark 'n Purr (in Austin,Texas) found pieces of metal and rocks in
these biscuits when breaking them in half for their dogs. The package
was returned to the store and when they and the store staff looked
through some of the other biscuits in the same package, they found
more non-food items in the biscuits. Bark 'n Purr management
contacted the manufacturers immediately and the product has been
pulled off the shelf and sent to the manufacturer.

I confirmed all of the above with the manager at Bark 'n Purr this
morning and told her I would be sending out a note. She was extremely
helpful.

If you have a package in this batch--the batch that expires in
December 08--you can return it to them. As of this morning they have
heard nothing from the manufacturer.

I did ask the store manager if it is likely that this batch of
biscuits would have been distributed only in central Texas. She said
it would likely have gone out all over the country
