    We need help in Costa Rica! Our dogs have had serious stomach ailments after eating HILLS Science Diet ADULT SAVORY CHICKEN ENTREE. THE TOP OF ONE UNOPENED CAN FROM THE SAME BATCH PURCHASED in San Jose, Costa Rica IS IDENTIFIED AS “BEST BEFORE 07 2009 T0610518 9437″ The HillsPet.com site has a “contact us” section that is worthless. It just provides Q-A’s and offers no e mail address to call this problem to their attention. Please let your people know and forward to the FDA and other people for followup, since Hills apparently prefers not to be contacted and given the first chance to respond and deal with the problem. Our dogs ran into this problem several months ago with another similar batch of Hills Science Diet. They were quite sick and recovered after not eating from the other batch. I just hope that Hills is not dumping known bad pet food into Costa Rica.
