We just found out

that the wet food we've been feeding our cats (we give them both wet and dry) is one of the foods on recall by Menu Foods because something in the food is causing pet deaths. We have noticed a higher than usual incidence of vomiting from the cats lately. I certainly hope we don't end up with a sick Gang of Fur.

oh gods....

keep an eye on how much water the crew is drinking. If they start drinking more than usual, it might be a good ideal to get them checked out.
Or.. better still, head to the website and see whether or not your stuff in on the batches they recalled and put your mind at rest.

The awful thing is that there is some premium quality pet food among those numbers - Eukanuba, Iams, Science Diet.

You may also want to consider switching pet foods, though I am not sure that any one supplier is any better than another. For all that it is worth, I feed mine Pro Plan - It is a premium quality cat food for a reasonable price. I bought mine up at Early's when I lived in Saskatoon.

Yes, we're done all that. I think what amazed me is both the broad range of brands and the broad range of qualities involved from one manufacturer - both house brands of various stores and some of the highest qualities you can purchase. Thanks for the note on Pro Plan. We'll give it a try.
