Poison Pet Food Alert

I know there are a lot of dog & cat owners here on the site from the US, so I just thought I'd post these links for your information as I don't know how widely reported it has been yet and the parent company of the brands involved - Menu Foods - is playing the whole situation down as 'a few isolated complaints'.

A large batch of their pet foods is proving fatal to animals - in particular cats, that eat it causing acute organ failure and death within a few days. this has happened both to consumers and to Menu Foods test animals that also tried it. the urgent recall applies to a lot of popular brands including IAMS, Science Diet, Eukanuba etc.

the full list of products affected are:

Cats

Dogs

and a related news article here for more background information.

I wish I was a glow worm, a glow worm's never glum. How can you be gloomy when the sun shines out your bum? *runs off into distance giggling*

I make all my dog's food from fresh ingredients now... had to change back to "dog food" for a while when we moved house... bought the supposed "natural, premium" stuff... it makes her STINK!!! I wouldn't change back to manufactured stuff now. It used to give her allergies and made her fat...
