Your PetAt the web site you can click on the individual brands in order to check the dates on the packages you have as well as the barcode numbers.

If you have any of the types listed and they match the numbers please discontinue use and return them to the store that you purchased them from or dispose of them.

Also watch your pets closely for any of the following signs:

loss of apetite, excessive water drinking, lethargy, stomach pains, unusual behavior.

The dog food is causing kidney failure due to rat poisoning in the food. With this also comes renal failure and numerous other side effects.

If the chance is there that your pet ate the food and is displaying any of the signs above I would strongly recommed taking them to see a vet immediately. The progression of these problems are very serious and early treatment and intervention is a necessity.
