Cat and dog food has been poisoned across North America. Check your supply — the affected brands are major ones, and include “store brands.” This poisoning has caused numerous deaths through severe kidney damage. Symptoms include:
- excessive thirst
- tiredness
- vomiting
You’ve probably already heard about the massive pet food recall, but in case you haven’t, here are some current details. Be sure to check http://menufoods.com/recall/index.html for the latest updates. Nestle Purina PetCare Co., Procter & Gamble and Hill’s Pet Nutrition Inc. are also recalling certain products not listed below — mostly “sliced” or “chunky” foods “in gravy”, especially those sold in pouches. The current list of foods affected (according to Menu Foods) is below. MSNBC’s article states that the particular ingredient which is causing the deaths may have been supplied to other pet food manufacturers, so keep a close eye on your pets, and call their veterinarian right away if you suspect a problem because kidney failure can happen quickly.
Stay tuned to the Peacock&Paisley Blog for healthy, home-made pet food recipes. At least until the manufactured pet food situation has been figured out, making your own pet food may be the safest approach. Our pets love us and rely on our loving care. According to the figures on NBC’s Today Show this morning, 97% of us consider them to be family members. We deserve healthy, holistic sustenance and so do they.
