Question by JV: 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.

thanks great job, maybe you can post again later?
Oh my.
Jeez. Thank you very much for posting!
In all the years of having dogs, how many times have we heard of a top brand company, like Canidae having this problem? Wouldn’t it be easier if people fed brands of food that were higher up in quality, instead of crap that Walmart sells?
Thank-you!! My friends cat has been sick for weeks now and she bought him to one vet. They gave him his worms shot and sent him home!! Then the cat gets sicker so she bought him to a different vet and come to find out he is in kidney failure because of the food!!!! This is ridculous!! Now her cat might not make it because of some company!!

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.
Verified by several sources: The pet food recall is for CANNED “wet food”, such as beef chunks and gravy. Even some of the mainstream products like Iams are included. The DRY food (kibble) is not affected, no matter the brand. I’ve always used dry food because it doesn’t spoil, and goes a long way to clean teeth.
Our friend has 2 cats and both have been sick. Her son took them to a special
vet near where he lives. I have wondered if it didn’t have something to do with
the food. I hope not. I wonder if someone is disgruntled and poisoned the animals deliberately. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
Thanks you for posting this to make everyone aware because some of the dog that is involved in this is some of the better dogs foods like iams and pedigree. this is not just the cheap dog food. Thank you for looking out for the our furry Friends.
