| Was nutro dry food or wet? I give mine the Nutro Lamb and Rice dry? If there's a chance my guys can get sick I'm bringing the bag back, and demanding my money back. |

| Personally, I think everyone needs to read the list before getting upset. It is only isolated to a few select products. Yes, a lot of brands are involved, but only a select product offering within each brand. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i agree with you. I know everyone is in an uproar about this recall list but please take the time to read everything on the site before getting upset. DRY FOOD has NOT been recalled and is safe to feed your pets.

| Well, and I think I agree that if my dog food company is recalling ANY of the food they make, I should and would question ALL the food that comes from that plant!! Better safe than sorry and I would absolutely stop feeding my brand, wet or dry, if the name was on the list. Thats just me....the over protective mom

MenuFoods has as least two plants. So the recall may be isolated to only one plant. If anything, they may produce certain products at each plant in order to specialize. Therefore, in the event of a recall,...odds are...only certain products needs to be recalled, and not EVERY product the entire company makes. The recent spinach recall, affected multiple brands. Isolated to a farm in CA. But that doesn't mean the "farm" has to recall every product it makes (such as strawberries or other products). Only the area where they grew spinach was affected. | |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I don't know how "scientific" it is but we now feed all THREE pets ( Ozzie plus two cats ) home cookin.' Ozzie has been eating this stuff since puppyhood because he has always had an ultra-sensitive gut. We boil hamburger (ground chuck or ground round), chicken breasts, and pork chops (usually sirloin boneless). All EXCESSIVE fat is cut off before cooking. They do need a bit of fat in the diet but I never leave fat around the edges of anything. I buy canned green beans (the no salt or sugar variety), cook fresh carrots, broccoli, rice and occasionally vermicelli (the really skinny spaghetti), and low-fat cottage cheese. Also now have a healthy supply of Yo Baby! yogurt (vanilla and banana pack). Once cooked, each type of meat is ground separately by Cuisinart and put in its own container. At meal time, each gets meat and at least one veggie and at least once a day a tablespoon (or so, Ozzie weighs 13 pounds!) each of cottage cheese and yogurt. We switch out what they have so they aren't eating the same thing meal after meal, but it all has the same core ingredients. Both cats also have a serving of crunchies laid out at least once each day and also get tuna (mixed with one of the other meats) a couple times a week. The kitten eats three times a day and Ozzie and my aged cat (15 next month!) both eat twice. NOTE: Ozzie no longer eats pork at vet's advice. I don't necessarily agree, but I don't have DVM after my name! Otherwise, the vet says all our guys eat well and should be getting enough of everything. (Well yeah -- they eat better than ME! ) Don't know if that is something that would work for you, but has fared well for us. |

| I know that the recall is for WET food only, but I agree w/ some above that if that company has food being recalled, I am doubting it has a good food company for my Mojo.....You kind of lose some trust (I guess) in the companies that are being recalled. Even though Mojo's food was on the list of wet foods, I still have that doubt and uneasy feeling feeding him the dry food. My husband said that most foods are made by the same place, just a different name and price go on the packaging....so it is no wonder why so many are being recalled. (like the pickle post above). I would pay more for a brand of food that I can trust was 100% healthy, organic and that Mojo would eat on his own. Like most that posted, Mojo wouldn't eat other foods on his own or had stomache troubles w/ them. So, to find one that works (Nutro natural choice for sensitive stomaches - lamb and rice) was a blessing....but then, to have that name associated w/ a recall (even though it is said to just be the wet foods)....that leaves a big sick and upsetting feeling in my gut!!! (((aurgh)))

| I agree to the last two posts completely. I did have some of the wet Nutro packets and cans. I will not even buy Nutro dry. I just don't feel it is safe. But that is my opinion. Just like I will not buy ANY food or brand that was on that list. Now again just like the above poster said. Lots of foods are made by one company and given other names look at the Peanut Buter recall a while back. I would never have thought Peter Pan would have been a store brand. Go figure. I went and found some Canidae today. I hope my babies will eat it. I also found another all stages food at Petco called Nature's Recipe. Has anyone tried this food? It sounds pretty good but IDK.
