Massive recall of dog AND cat food

A heads up for pet owners. There has been a massive recall of wet dog and cat food made by menu foods. It includes a wide range of products

The food was distributed by major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kroger and Safeway.

An unknown number of cats and dogs had suffered kidney failure and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, the company said.

Two other companies _ Nestle Purina PetCare Co. and Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. _ said Saturday that as a precaution they were voluntarily recalling some products made by Menu Foods.

Many stores that sold the affected brands frantically pulled packages off shelves.

A complete list of products can be found at the recall web site.

Wow. I don't currently have any of those brand in my house, but, that's a massive amount of bad pet food!

Maybe they'd be better off with Vegemite after all.

The only "wet food" we feed our pets is the blood of the damned kids who think it's funny to mess with them :evil:

We just fed our cats the last can of one of the listed foods. So, I'm freaking out at this moment.

Fortunately, Tango is only on dry food (aside from the ocassional fresh shrimp or chicken that gets tossed her way - spoiled rotten kitty).

Kevy, figners crossed for you. I'd be freaking out too, I obsessively checked the list this weekend 3 times just in case they changed the items recalled.

I wouldn't worry about it much. Considering the millions of animals that have been eating the named foods, even at unacceptable levels of toxicity it isn't that bad or we'd have millions of dead animals already.

Our cat won't touch any food other than dry food, popcorn, and toe separators (the things you use for painting toenails). So she's safe.

Good thing our rabbit eats only veggies like spinach and lettuce. Nothing can possibly go wrong with those.

Oh, wait.

While your chances of any problems are of course slim, I would make sure there is plenty of water out for them to drink.

Oh crap. We feed our cats the Nutro Pouches listed. One in the morning and one for dinner. Damnit. I think we'll be visiting the vet for a checkup ASAP, just to be safe.

All weekend I've been glad we feed our kitties expensive special diet vet only cat food. The last thing Boris needs is more kidney trouble.

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 01:48 AM.
