Default URGENT Pet food recall

There is a recall of most major brands of pet foods through Canada and the USA, from what I can see it's only Cans and Pouches but please take a look. The foods are being recalled because of a large number of illnesses including death of animals.

This link describes the nature of the recall

This link names the brands of the recalled Dog Foods

Wow - Now this is crazy, and I swear is why I pay the extra for my dog and cat food. Thanks for posting this, Doug - great info.

Many animals are suffering liver and kidney failure. Its terrible!

Just to let you know that some places will take back all your wet food products even if it is not numbered as the food that is contaminated.

I have to go through my cupboard but I don't think I have any of these for my cats. Seems like they are the gravy style.

What interest me though is I usually pay a premium to buy Iams or Eukanuba but it looks like they are produced in the same place as Presidents Choice?

yup!

More disturbing is that Hill's Science Diet is often recommended for breeds or animals who are already at risk for kidney problems!

On the news these say these are all the ones that are made in the states and not the Candian stuff.

Guys, just to make extra sure since I don't see these cat foods on the list:

Purina Friskies canned pate

and

No Name brand canned pate

I assume these are in the clear?
