RECALL dog & cat massive pet food recall, kidney failure, death, please check your pantry?
MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS, CANS & POUCHES, CAT & DOG FOODS
A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates was available from the Menu Foods Web site — http://www.menufoods.com/recall — and consumers also could call (866) 463-6738.
You can also check IAMS own site:

Please do your research on dog food over the internet. The Whole Dog Food Journal takes no advertising from manufactures and publishes a yearly guide to the most nutritional pet food made every year. READ THE LABEL; UNDERSTAND the ingredients and NOT the hype on the package. You can buy holistic natural dog food with high quality lamb or beef, whole grains that are all HUMANE GRADE. Azmira food is CLINICALLY proven healthy food for less then $.68 for a 50 Pd dog. Ignorance is the only reason someone would feed their dog Beneful at $.87. No matter what the company make sure it is humane grade!!! Surely no one who loves their dog would knowingly feed it dead, disease, disabled and/or dying sick animals shot full of antibiotics, growth hormones and chemicals regardless if their vet tells them its a “good food” or they saw a commercial that told them it was good for their pet. Keep in mind Vets not only make good commissions off the food the sell they also get rewards, gifts and bonuses for sales. Vets in general do NOT have nutritional education and sadly “prescribe” pet food from these same companies as part of their earnings daily.
I would never consider feeding any of my pets ANY of the poor quality foods that Menu Foods makes. Take a look at the LONG list of company’s that they sell their food to for these same companies to stick their labels on the can, goes to show doesn’t matter what names on the label it’s all the same in the can. Labels from Iams, Eukanbu, Nutro and many other cheap dog food sellers now are having their dog food recalled as it has been KILLING our pets. Do you have any idea how many pets must have died BEFORE this big of a recall was made? How many more companies and or labels will be added to the recall list before this is all done with? The root cause has of yet to be identified so I would throw out EVERYTHING by all these companies’, the risk is not worth it to me, is it to you and your pets?
Please take your pets health into your own hands. They are what they eat and dry dead poor grade kibble or soft food is the root cause of most allergies, hotspots, ear infections and of cancer. Most Vets’ DO NOT STUDY nutrition any more then most doctor’s do. SEE the label is just that, what is inside is preservatives, fillers, artificial colors and the garbage from the human food industry packaged all pretty for you to believe you are feeding your dog something good.
Google “dog food the 4 D’s” and read away. Search Amazon for Holistic pet books and see what ALL the natural vet’s that study nutrition recommends. Make a wise healthy decision for your best friends. GET YOUR HANDS ON THE 2006 AWARD WINNING Book “Scared Poopless: The Straight Scoop on Dog Care” (http://www.amazon.com/scared-poopless-st…
Care/dp/0977126501) This book is a pure joy to read as it is written from the dogs prospective and educates you on what choices you really have in regards to everything from medical types of vets, alternative care, vaccines or titers to foods.
While you’re at it study up on vaccines too. I will leave you with a scary thought. The EXACT same amount of vaccine for a 5 Pd Maltese is given to a 150 Pd Iris Wolf Hound! WHY?
Choose for your pet wisely for they are unable to choose for themselves. If they could I don’t believe they would pick dead granola every meal for the rest of their lives even if it was humane grade. Give them real food full of enzymes, vitamins, natural probotics and life giving energy.
I want to upgrade the pet food that we use…?
Can you recommend HUMAN GRADE dog and cat foods? We feed both dry and canned.
Also, what do you think about Natural Balance foods?
Evanger’s, Felidae/Canidae, Innova, California Natural, Halo Pet-Spot’s Stew, Nature’s Variety (Prairie), Life’s Abundance, Timberwolf/Serengeti, Natural Balance, Petropics/Tiki Cat/Tiki Dog, and Solid Gold are some of the more commonly known/available brands.
I currently feed Evanger’s, California Natural, Felidae, and Tiki Cat to my cats. I did feed Natural Balance, but after the last two recalls involving their products, I don’t feel comfortable doing so right now. Perhaps when things settle down in a few months I may be willing to try their foods with my cats again, but right now I don’t trust them.
Is part nature of brand recipes nature varieties?
'm Racking brains trying find food pet more healthy for my dogs and cats and I'm leaning towards Avoderm for my dogs and recipe nature for my cats but'm not sold yet. Anyway only wondered if recipe nature is part variety nature.
No it are therein. Naturalezas variety much better.
What brands of wet cat food is recommended?
My cat is one of the canteens of most pickiest ever, and have tried many many marks what he likes, but I know that is not the best (Friskies Canned foods) I have tried many brands but does not seem to them. I live in Canada a few marks not available, as states have .. Any suggestions on what wet cat food to buy. I want to be healthy. He is an indoor cat and very active in the night.
You're right, Friskies is not very large but not yet fed, then dry food. Stay away from the flavors of salsa. Has welfare where it is canned and is the best if you eat it
How long will my cat be okay alone?
I'll marry. Morning until sunset, and I do not have anyone close to verify in my kitty. I called a couple of kenels and apart from being expensive, do not make the promise of my kitten will not "take something" a few months .. I went to my furry baby alone for 3 days with enough food and water for a week. And I bought a huge box of Kitty. And .. When I get back home was very good! Not upset or anything mess. I still had tons of food and water. I always leave the AC at 70 degrees. It is 8 years old and has no health problems. Any ideas? Also .. I looked in "pet sitters" in my area and none in bondage, I am not having a comferble Stanger in my house will not promise not to steal or break something …
man, we left our cat for a week by itself. now, before everyone thinks that abuse our animals, you know that cats do dogs are not (du'uh) and should not take all the time, they do very well as long as they have plenty of food and water. Your kitty will be fine:)
