If your pet is exhibiting any signs of kidney failure please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. Symptoms include loss of appetite, vomiting, weakness, disorientation and changes in water consumption and urination. If you suspect that you have fed the recalled pet food to your cat or dog, save any remaining pet food and the can or pouch. Open cans or pouches may be double-bagged in sealable plastic and kept in the freezer. 

A comprehensive summary of the recalls, with details, is available online from the American Veterinary Medical Assoc.

Decades of research have gone into the development of pet food to make sure the special nutrition needs of pet dogs and cats are met."

Associated Press story  :

The FDA is asking those with sick or dead pets to call FDA state complaint coordinators. A list of contacts for such coordinators is available at

Just a Note

From our research into this Pet Food Recall it is obvious that The Pet Food industry is a highly complex, interwoven business that takes advantage, as do most businesses these days, of  global and centralized procurement and production to produce products sold under 100s of brand names.  This actually has advantages for you, the consumer:  it provides - under large scale purchasing and production circumstances, and normal circumstances - a less expensive than "otherwise," but reasonable quality pet food for mass consumption. 

You might be surprised to find that Menu Foods produces pet food for so many brands. But that's the way it is, just as GE (General Electric) produces everything from light bulbs, to GE TVs  to other TV brand names,  to appliances under brand names like Monogram®, GE Profile Performance™, GE Profile™, GE® and Hotpoint® brands as well as several private-label brands...  Does that mean there is no difference in quality or the specifics in each brand? No, it does not.  Each brand specifies its requirements that  the manufacturer must meet.  They are not all the same -- though Menu Foods produces 100s of brands, each brand can be different depending on its specific requirements for ingredients.
