More Pet Food Recall From Iams and Eukanuba!

If your pet has health issues that warrant special formulas, take note as the latest, voluntary recall affects cat and dog kibble distributed to veterinary clinics and specialty pet retailers.

If your pet has health issues that warrant special formulas, take note as the latest, voluntary recall affects cat and dog kibble distributed to veterinary clinics and specialty pet retailers. Although the first alert came last week for only the Iams Feline Renal Veterinary Dry Formula, it has expanded to that entire line and a few more from Eukanuba, too.

The specialized foods on this list are:

  • Iams Veterinary Dry Formulas for Cats and Dogs
  • Eukanuba Dog Dry Naturally Wild
  • Eukanuba Dog Pure
  • Eukanuba Dog Custom Care Sensitive Skin

Some products made at this facility with "Best-By" dates between July 1, 2010, and Dec. 1, 2011 have the potential for Salmonella contamination so discard the food and contact P&G for product refund information, remember how to report a problem to the FDA, and brush up on your Salmonella facts, too!

Although this warning doesn't affect wet food or treats, get the full list of kibble UPC codes here.

IMPORTANT: Pet Food Recall

I am sick and tired of dealing with recalls, after the Oscar Mayer Chicken and the contact lens solution.

I am sick and tired of dealing with recalls, after the Oscar Mayer Chicken and the contact lens solution. Now 90 brands of pet food are being tied to kidney failure in cats and dogs. I believe in creating a fit family and that includes the pets!!!

On Saturday, Menu Foods, a Canada-based company recalled 50 brands of dog food and 40 brands of cat food. This includes pet food made by Iams, Nutro, and Eukanuba.

An unknown number of cats and dogs have suffered kidney failure, and already 10 have died after eating the affected food. As a precaution, Nestle Purina PetCare Company and Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. voluntarily recalled some of their pet food that was made by Menu Foods.

The pet foods that were recalled were made with wheat gluten that had been purchased from a new supplier. There is suspicion that this could be the cause, but nothing has been determined yet.

The "cuts and gravy" style products sold in cans and pouches are among some of the affected products. Consumers are being advised to stop using these and the others on the list.
