Pet Food Recall

[PhoneWhore Karen]

I'm sure everyone's heard by now, but there has been a huge recall of pet foods. Not just generic, but name brand, and even some high end brands. Here is a list of dog and cat food to stop feeding your animals. Apparently, there was a contamination at Menu Foods, who makes and distributes food for a lot of companies, and it has resulted in an "undisclosed" number of cats and dogs dying or having to be euthanized for kidney failure. The list is from Menu Foods. I'm reposting this in the Pet forum too, if it hasn't already been posted there. This is a nationwide recall of 49 dog food brands, and 41 cat food brands.

Edit: Found some more info:

*Proctor & Gamble is recalling their products made by Menu Foods but sold under the Iams and Eukanuba brands.

*Purina is also affected. http://purina.com/company/press/2007/MightyDog.aspx and apparently more brands are being added.

This is not good news for so many of our fur babies. :(

My dog gets dry food and rice and veggies mixed in his food now, we didn't use what was on the recall list, unless it's been added since then but it's cheaper to cook some chicken mix it with some rice and veggies and use it for the week... he likes it a lot more

Dont have a pet but had a dog about 20 years ago.
If you go to Lou Dobbs web site or cnn you will find a list of recalls on that site and other info.
Hope all your pets are healthy.

The pet food recall has been confusing and frustrating to thousands of pet owners because we all love our pets and they trust us to take care of them.

That's why I decided to make home made dog recipes for our Minature Schnauzer -- Fluff!

There is a special pet food video and an updated dog and cat food recall list at http://www.online-shopping-101.com/dog-food-recall.html that everyone definitely should check out!
