Pet Food Recall

She's still here, she may just prove the vet wrong yet, and beat this food poisoning yet....

So sorry to hear about Luna. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family from Capo. Beach.

My heart goes out to you and your family. God Bless little Luna may she pass away peacefully. Hugs from Nova Scotia

Thanks Kathie, she's hanging in there. I think she's afraid to let go and let her brother get all the fresh chicken and tuna. Meanwhile, she's staring out the window, happy.

This is so sad, but better than letting her die in a metal cage in a vet's office. I've read that cats hypnotize themselves when they are in pain and I hope that's true. I wish her a peaceful passage to the Rainbow Bridge, if she must leave. :(

The contaminated wheat gluten that prompted an extensive recall of pet food was not used in food for humans, the ingredient's importer confirmed on Tuesday.

Stephen Miller, ChemNutra Inc.'s chief executive officer, said his company distributed the wheat gluten only to pet food companies. He declined to identify the companies who purchased the wheat gluten.

OH John that breaks my heart... Luna is such a good kitty... I'm in tears now. Luna just may surprise you....Come on Luna...you can do it. Prayers are in for you.

I JUST checked and the dog food I use has no corn, wheat, etc etc. BUT I found some treats from Petsmart that had the bad stuff... They are in the garbage. Thanks for the heads up...

Well, as I told Fred in another thread, Luna is given 3 days by the vet. She's at home with us, we're feeding her chicken, real chicken. He says she's a goner, we'll see. I think we'll make a fire, she loves them.
Watch those dog biscuts too.

I had been feeding my dogs this food by Solid Gold. It is not subject to the recall, due mainly to Solid Gold using higher than normal quality ingredients.

They make both dog and cat foods. I can highly recommend this food to everyone. It was available in some pet stores, but not everywhere. I guess you can contact the website to find a local vendor. The bags are plastic, so air does not get inside. Also check the date on the bag, use the product while it is fresh. There is a vitamin supplement too - I used seameal in 1 pound containers - 1 tablespoon for each of our 65 and 130 pound dogs. They got fed once a day. Perhaps a tablespoon is all that is required for a smaller pet that is fed twice a day.
