(I guess they're both big enough so they don't contract any of their product out to other manufacturers?) |

Kathy Purina has info on their site: http://www.purina.com/ I have 9 kitties and they eat Friskies so I hope it'll be OK for them to still eat. Thankfully they're all running and playing and gererally being rotten. ;^) Renee |

We have both Kitten Chow and PurinaOne. "Friskies" IS "Purina"! (I'm not sure when Purina took them over, but if you look at the label on the cans, there's a tiny red box above the "Friskies" that says "Purina".) |

Thankfully they're all running and playing and gererally being rotten. ;^) Renee In a pinch I bought a bag of Purina One Urinary Tract Formula dry food when Persia's vet ran out of her Hill's x/d and it would take a few days to get it in stock. I checked the Purina web site and it doesn't mention this product was recalled. But when I click the "compare" button under Urinary Tract Formula it shows this: *Purina One Urinary Tract Formula* *Key Ingredients* Corn Gluten Meal Ground Yellow Corn Chicken Brewers Rice Wheat Flour *Iams Original* *Key Ingredients* Chicken Chicken By-Product meal Corn Grits Corn Meal Chicken Fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E, and Citric Acid) I don't know about you, but I would think the Iams with chicken as the main ingredient would be a heck of a lot better for the cat.

(I guess they're both big enough so they don't contract any of their product out to other manufacturers?)- Zitierten Text ausblenden - - Zitierten Text anzeigen - Although I am living in Germany which might not be affected by the pet food scandal I started recherching facts, after reading that some of the in Canada and the US produced pet foods where delivered overseas to Europe as well. I wanted to find out if some of the food ended up in Germany. Needless to say that I didn`t find answers up to know regarding this case. German newspapers strangely enough don`t talk about the melamine issue. The german food ministery didn`t even bother to answer my questions. I don`t ask the cat food producers as I don`t believe them anyway. But - I came about some interesting websites during my research. It might be that some huge companies just try to sit out the whole thing. Not acknowledging that their food might be involved as well. For example I found in a forum the following: "9. Comment by Lucy -- 4 weeks ago Our cat died last week after eating what we think was Whiskas, not on the recall list. We were out of town, came home, fed the cat the wet Whiskas, and it was dead the next morning, having vomited blood. We had to go out of town that night and didn't hear about the recall until the next day. Could be coincidence. Cat was playing and happy we were home, got her special snack, then she was dead within hours. We called and left orders not to feed the other cat (or dogs) any of the wet food. We shall see what brand it was on our return." and: "40. Comment by Annabelle -- 3 weeks ago Lucy, my oldest kitty 15 yrs old have 2 was so toxic last week I bawled all week. Called the vet I take them to and the vet tech said, oh you want to put her down? I said NO! As a former vet tech, had already gone thru kidney failure with one kitty. Giving her IV's at home was so hard. My oldest kitty was walking in circles and so disoriented. She had bloody diarhea 2 weeks ago. All she ate was whiskas canned. She stopped eating and I ended up opening a can of people stew. Mashed it up and she ate and drank like crazy. I also have been forcing water with an eyedropper. Had read Diamond was okay on here, but The deaths and illnesses sparked an FDA investigation into the pet food made by the Diamond Pet Food Co. at its, manufacturing plant Gaston, South Carolina. The FDA said 23 animal deaths have been linked to the pet food so far. :-(( Kitty is so hungry for real food. Now Diamond is out of the question. TY for posting the lawyers phone number. I have called and emailed so much warning people about CANNED whiskas. Now my other kitty is getting lethargic and she eats Kit n Kaboodles made by Purina. :-(( Wonder how much of the rat poison aminopterin is in our food?...... (more text omitted)..." To be found on: http://hubpages.com/hub/Menu_Foods_C...ecall_List?rss http://hubpages.com/hub/Menu_Foods_C..._List?comments So I would be very cautious feeding any pet food. Means I am, even in Europe. Regards Bettina |
