| Good Website for Information I found that this website seems to have a lot of valuable information about the recall. Hope this helps. My neighbor emailed me that her friend just lost her two dogs to the tainted food. I don't know what brand they were on, but I will post it if I find out. This site even has a place to report that your pet is sick. www.petconnection.com |

| Awfull!!! How can that happen'?! Eventhough I'm not from USA, now that I read it I'm very worried in the safety of feeding animals with Royal Canin or any other dehidrated food. I feed my rottie already 3 years with Royal Canine Mobility support and my yorkie with combination of Royal Canine Sensible and Beauty. Who knows what's safe and what isn't these days...

BANNED! | This is not for the Royal Canin Dry dog food. The site you refer too clearly says this: Among the products covered by the expanded recall is Royal Canin Canada's Medi-Cal Feline Dissolution Formula canned diet, made by Menu Foods and sold only through veterinarians. I checked the DRY FOOD ingredients and THERE IS NO WHEAT GLUTEN in it, so you dont need to panic. |

BANNED! | It seems to be only linked to the specific canned cat food from Canada thats only available thru Vets that I listed in my previous post. Here is what Royal Canin is posting on their website: RECALL INFORMATION Royal Canin USA wishes to assure pet owners that our dry and wet pet food products are not involved in the ongoing FDA investigation related to the recent nationwide pet food recall initiated by Menu Foods and other companies. We want to inform you that the recent recall announcement by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on April 10 does not affect any Royal Canin products sold in US retail stores or available in vet clinics. All of our brands, including Feline Health Nutrition, Canine Health Nutrition, Royal Canin Veterinary Diets, Sensible Choice, and Kasco, continue to be available nationwide. The safety and nutritional quality of our pet food is our top priority because for many people, their pets are their top priorities. For details about the recall and affected brands and products, please call Menu Foods at 1-866-895-2708, 1-866-463-6738 or visit the company?s web site at www.menufoods.com/recall for |

| Is this the first recall for DRY food? I try to stay updated, but I guess you really don't ever know for sure?? I have only been feeding my grandbaby Innova dry (hopefully it is ok). |

Dear Royal Canin USA Customer, It is with sincere regret that I inform you of a new and unfortunate development with some of our pet food products. Although we have no confirmed cases of illness in pets, we have decided to voluntarily remove the following dry pet food products that contain rice protein concentrate due to the presence of a melamine derivative. ROYAL CANIN SENSIBLE CHOICE? (available in pet specialty stores nationwide) - Chicken Meal & Rice Formula Senior - Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Puppy - Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Adult - Lamb Meal & Rice Formula Senior - Rice & Catfish Meal Formula Adult ROYAL CANIN VETERINARY DIET? (available only in veterinary clinics) - Canine Early Cardiac EC 22? - Canine Skin Support SS21? - Feline Hypoallergenic HP23? We are taking this proactive stance to voluntarily recall these products to avoid any confusion for our customers about which Royal Canin USAproducts are safe and which products may be affected. Pet owners should immediately stop feeding their pets the Royal Canin USA dry pet food products listed above. Pet owners should consult with a veterinarian if they are concerned about the health of their pet. No other Royal Canin diets are affected by this recall and CONTINUE TO BE safe for pets to eat. In addition, Royal Canin USA will no longer use any Chinese suppliers for any of our vegetable proteins. This decision to recall some of our dry pet food products is driven by our philosophy that the "Pet Comes First". The safety and nutritional quality of our pet food is Royal Canin USA?s top priority. Pet owners who have questions about this recall and other Royal Canin USA products should call 1-800-592-6687. On behalf of the entire Royal Canin family, our hearts go out to the pet owners and everyone in the pet community who have been affected by all of the recent recalls. We are as passionate about the health and happiness of our customers? pets as we are of our own, so we are committed to taking the steps necessary to ensure this never happens again. Sincerely, Olivier Amice President and CEO Royal Canin USA Last edited by Ceibasmom; 04-20-2007 at 05:35 AM. | |
