Pet food recall...deaths reported

[chowdad]

I returned a pile of food to petsmart yesterday because George won't eat it. The Nutro items I had were on the recall list the cashier told me. I am sure glad he wouldn't eat any. When I say he won't eat I mean he won't even tolerate it near him. One was a foil gravy pack of Lamb and rice stew. They said no dry food was on the list. I do live in Missouri and it isn't on the states that were listed here.

Sherill I haven't heard that yet either. This whole thing is so scary and sad. We took Special to Petsmart to hang out today and the shelves are so bare with signs everywhere saying they're not seeling various canned or pouched foods for the time being, it's eery to see. I just feel so awful for all the families that are affected by this.

Ok, thanks for the feedback (no pun intended).
I wonder how many pets have died from the contaminated food and no one was counting?

Good news about Menu Foods, they only make up 1% of the pet food industry.

Strahl said the Canadian Veterinary Medicine Association monitors and regulates pet food. But the association says it only provides nutritional guidelines and has no regulatory powers.

Karin,

It's a basic recipe. I change up the veggies and fruit to satify my furkids. Sometimes I use ground chicken and many times I use ground lamb.
Hope it works out great for you!
