Pet Food Recall

In case you hadn’t heard, Menu Foods, manufacturer of several major brands of cat and dog food, after the deaths of two cats and the incidence of kidney failure in an additional 18 cats over the past two weeks, decided to recall certain gravy-style pet food in cans and pouches made between December 3, 2006 and March 6, 2007. The list of brands is quite extensive and can be checked at www.menufoods.com/recall. I use Science Diet® Adult Light and Science Diet® Kitten food (both dry) for my cats, two products that are not included in the recall, thank goodness. I lost my beloved cat, Carlyle, to kidney failure several years ago and it is an experience I would not wish to repeat. I would advise anyone with a cat or a dog to consult the list and discard any questionable food as soon as possible. Inquiries about the recall can also be made by phone at (866) 895-2708.
