O.T. Dog / Cat food recall

[ldzppln]

They're saying only 10 pets (9 cats, 1 dog) have died so far, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've got a co-worker that lost one of her dogs to kidney failure today, and the other isn't far behind.

Recalled pet food blamed for killing 7 animals in testing

"... Menu Foods told the FDA it received the first complaints of kidney failure and deaths among cats and dogs from pet owners on Feb. 20. It began new tests on Feb. 27.

During those tests, the company fed its product to 40 to 50 dogs and cats and some seven animals -- the mix of species was not immediately known -- died, Sundlof said. The contamination appeared more deadly to cats than to dogs, he said.

The recall now covers dog food sold throughout North America under 51 brands and cat food sold under 40 brands, including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. The food was sold under both store and major brand labels at Wal-Mart, Kroger, Safeway and other large retailers. ..."

Companies like Purina must be licking their chops.

A reason to be glad my dog has food allergies. Most of the brands sold in my neighborhood dog food has wheat which my dog is allergic too. So the two brands I use (depending who is on sale) are not on the list.
