Pet Food Recall

I had to euthanize my cat of 9 years at the beginning of March because he suffered from acute kidney failure. Though the production date code on the food I had was 6256 and 6293 and the Iams website recalled 6339 and up, I find the coincidence a little unnerving.

Hi! i'm from Argentina and don't know about food recall... what's that exactly??

(by the way, your cat was really beatiful)

Pet food recall that occured back in March which was known about by the feed companies a month prior. The issue was hot for about a month and has since been brushed under the rug. I still hurt, I still remember.

I just wanted to let you know I'm sorry about your

loss. I have 2 dogs and a cat and I just don't know

what to feed them, but the 4 of us send you our love.

I wish I could help you. I'm finding that even the good branded organic foods are questionable as they also have product they import from China. My stand at this point is that I'm not going to feed my cats any food that could be imported from China, period.

READ THE LABEL: It DOESN'T SAY the pet food is made in China! If you are so concerned buy from pet food makers who are not making food with risky ingredients just to save money. Or better, serve your pets "chop suey" we have served you since the times of California gold rush because its natural, tasty and risk free, like gourmet food for pets!

Indeed, it does not say that it was made in China and that means I have to do some homework now. Thankfully many of the organic and holistic food sites are up-front about where their ingredients are coming from and that makes my job easier to find the right food for my animals.

@Aeroslin it's ok, my cat died aswell from Iams recall. Kidneys shut down, and trouble seeing. Before then, he had diabetis. His name was Ginger, just letting you, your not alone.

Mine went through the same thing. He was literally screaming with pain, took him to the vet they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. I figured out it had something to do with his food cause he was fine before that. Right after he ate it he was in deep pain so I detoxified him and he's been ok ever since, but he urinates frequently because of this incident.

@elisaisabel Food recall: The food and drug administration(FDA) regulates commercial retail products for safety to the public in the US. In a recall, the FDA issues a warning to the consumer via media and the retailer through mail that the product in question has received enough verified reports of contamination that makes it unsafe for public use. So retailers must pull it from their shelves and the public has been warned not buy it. In this case it is food.

Anyone who sees this, view my profile.

Melamine killed his cat and melamine is slowly killing our children. It's in the U.S. food supply and it builds up slowly over weeks or months or years.

Melamine and cyanuric acid crystalize in the body and cause kidney stones, gall bladder stones and eventually kidney failure or bladder cancer, among other problems such as skin reactions, swollen tongue, etc. similar to the mouth problem he mentions in this video.

I requested you add me as a friend. Anyone concerned about how the same melamine tainted food that killed our pets is now causing kidney problems in our children, please view my profile and add me as a friend.

Feel free to write to me with any questions. I have spent well over 100 hours researching this.

Our lives are at risk. This is not paranoia or a joke.

Sorry for your loss.I had to also put my cat of 9 years to sleep today. I am sure it was the food also.The vet recommended I put her on Hills Prescription R/D in late Sept. 07. Oct 07 I started her with the small bag and she seemed fine.Last week not eating not drinking and just hiding. Wed night Dec 26 is when I really noticed her going down hill fast. Here it is Sat. Dec 29 and I had to put her to sleep today.The only place you can buy this food, killed my cat.
