My dog was 17 months old when she died in 2023 from eating this Victor dog food that was contaminated with salmonella. I didn’t know about this lawsuit until 2 months after my dog died which is when Amazon contacted me regarding me purchasing the dog food earlier in the year.
My dog died and my kid got sick a few times during this time for salmonella
My dogs and I all got sick from 2 40 lb bags of food. We were sick for months before someone told us. I went to the emergency room and my dog had a 105 degree fever at the vet, they thought she was going to die.
Yes my dog got sick off the off the mid American dogfood that was recalled. He had eaten it all his life. He ending up passing away and the necropsy stated he died from salmonella. He was a champion showdog. No I can’t breed him and I had 23 waiting dogs to breed with him at 3500 a pop. My lawyer is gonna file an individual lawsuit unless they contact us before.
