I'm pretty sure most of you have heard about the pet food recalls. So far, 241 pets have died of liver damage due to canned food from Canada, and thousands more are expected to perish.
I'm curious, has anyone here lost their pets to this? And for those of you who are unaware of this: I suggest you feed your pets dry food for a while...

lol, I've heard this 1000 times. Thanks for the info, though.
Somebody who lives around me lost their cat recently, and they believe it was because of this.
I'm glad I don't feed any of my pets these brands.

I found a list, but I don't remember where it was, but luckily my Dog's food isn't on there.

Yuppers, I heared about that on Furry Paws. (A site I go on, mind you.)
Gladly, I haven't fed my pets any of that. ;P

Yes it's only canned and pouched dog/cat food.
They believe it's the 'Chunks N Gravy' mostly, and I heard on the internet that studies showed traces of rat poisening in the food. Whether that's true or not I don't know, but I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

I posted the link above.. but I'll do it again..

I have a cat that was eating that food. He threw up... but he's fine now. The vet checked him out.

The food was said to be contaminated by rat poison.

My mom had told me that on the news they said the most likely reason why this happened is because the makers of the differnt foods switched where they got an ingredient. Pretty dumb if you ask me.
I hope the company has to pay for all the vet bills. It's their fault that it's happening.

But it's only the wet food. The dry food is okay.
