mrs.cos Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Wow, how is it that such big news as this didnt get a thread here? Its been in teh news for a month+ now. As some of you have probably heard by now, there has been some MAJOR food recalls for pets. PLEASE REALIZE THESE ARE NORMAL OFF THE SHELF BRANDS NOT SPECIALTY BRANDS!! I say this because usually this kind of thing is restricted to one brand of food, and not many people are affected by it. There have also been new brands added as of yesterday. (one of which is one i has switched to for safety reasons) This company makes food under a variety of names. The recall covers the company's "cuts and gravy" style food, which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches between Dec. 3 and March 6. The pet food was sold by stores operated by the Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and PetSmart Inc., among others, Henderson said. An unknown number of cats and dogs suffered kidney failure and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, Menu Foods said in announcing the North American recall. Product testing has not revealed a link explaining the reported cases of illness and death, the company said. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17649845/ http://www.menufoods.com/recall/Press_Recall_03162007.pdf Recall Information 1-866-895-2708 1.

SpaceGhost Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 See, who said feeding table scraps was a bad idea. Many dogs would have lived My grandmother and grandfather had a black poodle mutt, that lived at their house in the country. That dog ate NOTHING but table scraps for it's entire life, never bought pet food once, and was hit by a car twice, and still lived to be 17 Years old. My mom to this day said She didn't know what left overs were untill she got married and moved out. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 We feed science diet Nature's Best. So far so good according to what I have seen. Our female Daisy gets Science Diet prescription i/d with her dry, but that seems safe for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
