bk_blue Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Can't say I have but it doesn't sound good... Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Well from what I understand it is a mite (duh) that gets in dogfood and can make your dog sick... Also from what else I understand the only company that will stop food from being sold with mites in it is Hill's!! I am still looking into it!! :-? I am assuming these mites come from the corn meal used in the food as cornmeal has mites in it.... :-? Quote
bk_blue Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Oh yucky!!! So do even the premium dog food brands have mites do they? Quote
shorty Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Eww! That's gross.If you find out more please let us know. :o Wendy Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 I found something on dust mites in food (gross) which can cause allergies in pets and another on flour mites in dog food but these are noticeable by dust (flour dust ) on the bag and floor around the bag... Still looking.... Quote
Guest roo Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Am i right in thinking that they are only in dry dogfood? And on the funny side :lol: do they affect the protien levels in the food :P :P :P Roo Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Yes just in dry! Not sure of Protein Levels but will check! :lol: Quote
Hobbit Posted September 17, 2002 Posted September 17, 2002 Are you sure it's mites and not those "evil" weavils? :wink: Quote

Gordonmom Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 I hate to really gross you guys out, but there are mites living just about everywhere! There are dust mites in your house, and there is even a microscopic mite that lives on your eyelashes! There is a 99.9% chance ther are mites on your keyboard!!! ok, I'll stop, but I don't know if I am really too concerned about mites in dog food unles I had a dog that was allergic to mites! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Ha that is the thing Gordonmom..most dogs that have allergies to dog food is because of the mites in! (dust mites being the #1 mite in dog food!) Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 [quote name='Hobbit']Are you sure it's mites and not those "evil" weavils? :wink:[/quote] I had what i was told was weavils in some cereal i bought a few weeks ago.. I took it back to the store they said that a few other people had returned the same cereal. I looked and it was still on the shelf. I asked and they didn't seem to have any plans to take it off the shelf. It was disgusting. I didn't even need to open the box but they were crawling out! I can't believe that was on my shelf for 1 night. Yuck! Quote
Hobbit Posted September 19, 2002 Posted September 19, 2002 Hey Abusser, I see you survived the tropical storm :wink: . Yeah, wait until you open cereal and it has maggots in it --- now that will make you think twice about eating in the dark!! :D Dust mites.... pesky little critters! Quote
