More cat food recalls
M/D Dry Cat Food is being pulled -- does your vet know?

Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. is voluntarily recalling Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry food from the market. Hill's is taking this precautionary action because during a two-month period in early 2007, wheat gluten for this product was provided by a company that also supplied wheat gluten to Menu Foods. U.S. Food and Drug Administration tests of wheat gluten samples from this period show the presence of a small amount of melamine.
Update: Alpo canned dog food added to the recall list.

Our vet says they've already been notified and have pulled the food from sale. Whew!

Thanks for posting that. None of my crew would ever touch the Prescription Diet, IAMS, etc. I can see these companies going out of business very soon.

I thank you and our five furries thank you, as do the outside diners at Casa de Los Gatos y Skunks, Possums, y Raccoons.

My sig. other, Prime, has been saying the same thing. He's called this fiasco a "company-killer".

I won't be buying IAMS catfood ever again, not after having some of the recalled food in my pantry. I could have killed my Sammy with kindness.
