Menu Pet Foods

On December 6, 2011, my cat suddenly died. The day before that, I gave him Temptations treats and shortly after he started vomiting and his hind legs got paralyzed. I took him to the veterinary; he died next day in the morning. I still have this food and I would like to test it. I need help.

I purchased 3 bags of Retriever Bits & Bones, 50 lbs. bag on sale. I switched my toy poodles to this. The next day, I noticed the male acting strange. I noticed a little blood in the cage and next day, a lot more blood. I thought maybe he had hookworms. I deworm every month but thought maybe I didn't give him enough. Next day, lots of blood and he was very weak. I took him to vet, he was on IVS for a week. It cost over $1,000 to save him. I can't prove it, but there had to be something in that dog food. It didn't seem to affect the other dogs, but he would have died.

The vet thought he got a hold of insulation or something similar. But there is no way he did. He is in the cage all the time, there is nothing in the cage but water and food, his doghouse. Something was in the food that he got. I have been buying retriever dog food for over 10 years from local TSC company. I will never buy it again. It comes from the national TN plant. I couldn't find it on the list of recalls, but it needs to be checked. The dog was near-death and was given a 10 % chance of making it. His insides were turned to mush. He has to heal, if possible, he is still on antibiotics. He has to be rechecked by vet more than 1 time.

Made claim for reimbursement due to pet food recall in 2007.

my dog became very ill from eating this dog food so i took her to vet she is still recovering the store manager where i bought the food said maybe the can was damaged and open. she wouldnt eat vomitting,diarrhoea and dehydrated i almost lost her and then they two dogs i had got sick to, not as bad as her, and all they have done is sent me a coupon for $6.00 to compensate for over $400 vet bill and the worry and stress i still live with, she just not the same thank you very much the consumers need to know this, i dont want this to happen to anyone els.

I fed my dog the tainted dog food & he died. I submitted all vet records to substantiate my claim.

Been feeding homeless cat for a couple years and allowed him to stay in garage. Recently tried Friskies canned cat food on sale at Ralphs Grocery. I began to notice the cat's behavior changing in strange ways...urinary habits, loss of appetite, apathy, weakness, loss of mobility. He fell in a large opening, and after I retrieved him, he drank water for over an hour. Also had a bad odor...became unable to move...had to be euthanized. I believe the cat food caused his illness and death as the symptoms are common to that circumstance.

In Oct. of 2008 my cat became gravely ill with diahrea and respiratory problems. I took her to the vet office on Oct. 4th 2009 where it was recommended that she be euthanized due to the serious nature of her condition and the fact that she was 16 years old. Approximately on week later, both of my Boston terriers became very ill with vomiting and serious diahrea to the point that the female could no longer stand or walk. Although both animals were ill, I took only the female, because of the constant vomiting and diahrea, to an emergency room vet on Oct 18th 2008. Blood test were done and were normal.

The vet stated that the animals had injested something toxic. She recommended treatment for the symptoms since testing for the specific toxin could be difficult and even more expensive. I treated both my dogs and they recovered within a week. In November 2008, I received a recall notice from Mars Petcare for Berkley Jensen cat food I had purchased from BJs Wholesale for possible salmonella contamination.

I lost my cat, and my dogs were gravely ill. I spent $400 in vet bills. Mars notified me 2 mo. after the purchase of the food. They referred me to Liberty Mutual Ins. who were indifferent and stated no cases of salmonella reported, and without specific testing, I had no claim. The food was tossed with the death of my cat. When I suggested that it was odd that all 3 animals were ill at the same time...they said there was nothing they could do. I was only looking for reimbursement for vet bills. I just want this documented in case there are any similar complaints.

purchased berkley and jensen cat food

My dog would sometimes eat from the cat bowls. Suddenly my dog got very ill several weeks ago started with vomiting and then diarrhea. Then suddenly he stopped eating all together and would just lie there he got so ill and had to be euthanized. The vet said that by the smell of his breath his kidneys may of been failing. Before this occurred he was such a happy dog always wagging his tail.

During the recall of food containing melanin from China. my feline became ill and she was diagnosed with acute renal failure.I had to administer meds and bolus IV fluids to facilitate her recovery. This was successful for a short period of time. second time she was unable to recover. The following attack was unfortunately unsuccessful. She became despondent and no tx would alliviate the severe condition.

The cat died of kidney failure. Before this illness she was a healthy,lively cat. What a horrible way to lose a beloved pet.

Two of my cats had diarrhoea after eating Whiskas Temptations treats (tasty chicken flavor). And I only gave them 3 each.

In light of the recent recall of Mars petfood dry foods, I would like to add the following information. I have been feeding my two cats small amounts of the Mars Petfood product called whiskas TEMPTATIONS dry cat treats, These are sold in sealed 3 ounce bags. For the past six months, I have noticed that these treats made my cats ill a short time after consuming them. Every time the cats were fed the small treats, they later became ill, vomiting and diareah.

I decided to see if, in fact, it was actually the treats, so I have been following a regimen of witholding any treats for one week at a time, then resuming giving my cats their usual portions of the treats twice per day for two or three days. Each time I resumed giving the treats, the cats once again began vomiting and having loose stools. Several different flavors all produced the identical response.

I have now thrown away all flavors of these treats and the episodes of vomiting and diareah have ceased. The cats also seem to feel better, be more lively, and responsive. I have come to the concluson tat the TEMPTATIONS cat treats are responsible for their mysterious recurring stomach/digestive problems. I think Mars Petcare should also test these products for salmonella contamination, as soon as possible.

The economic situation is these treats are expensive. The physical damage is that my two cats suffered illness and discomfort from a commercially prepared pet treat which sickened them repeatedly. A third annoyance is the repeated necessity of having to clean up vomit every day. I take excellent care of my animals and unknowingly was causing them harm, resulting in great distress and guilt on my part.

tainted pet food caused cat to be ill and had to be put to sleep due to kidney levels and functions and another cat had to be put on medication for kidney problems due to recalled pet food 3-07

I am sorry but I really don't know what to do. All I know is that I purchased cat food from Walmart and my cat got really sick. I took her to the vet's because I heard on TV what had happen to the food. My vet hadn't heard anything about this so he throught that something else was wrong with her. He gave me some medicine for her but she didn't get any better.

So the next week I took her back and now this food deal was all over the TV and newspapers. He took blood and found that she was in kidney failure so he keep her for a while and ran a IV in her. That helped her to be a little better but my cat is not the cat that she once was. She is not doing well again and I am going to have to take her back to the vet's. When this first happen I called a number that I once had and I talked to someone that was taking the information on this. I called them twice and both times I was told that someone would call me back because Menu foods will pay my vet bills and I never heard from anyone. And now I don't know what to do or how to contact anyone about this.

I almost lost my dog on 12/25/06. She would not eat all of a sudden, except food scraps, then nothing at all. Then she would not drink anything. I was outside cleaning up the yard from her when I saw her moving very slowly, she then was dragging her back foot and then she fell over on her side. I was able to catch her as she fell. I rushed inside with her, she vomited all over the place and was listless. We found an emergency clinic and took her. Her liver and kidneys were shutting down. She had to get fluids for her dehydration and steroids to make her eat and some type of medication to calm her stomach. Previous to this, she made a blood curdling sound as she was trying to have a bowel movement on our walk. I picked her up and carried her the rest of the way home. We went to the vet's office on our way out of town. No one knew about the pet food recalls from Menu Foods yet. I just started feeding her table food as that is all she was interested in eating. I guess that decision saved her life.

I have 3 vet bills, of approximately $600.00. I cannot be accurate without them in front of me. I have the copies in a file.

He was my very first pet. One that was taken away from our family way too soon. I do not believe companies should be able to ship products that have not been tested for things like this!

Dogs are chattel under the law. But I deeply feel the pain of his death and feel it was my responsibility to protect him from things under my control, (ie his food).

i fed our 7 year old dog nutramax senior dry food and 4 cans of nutramax at the end of march, 2007. within the next week our dog was deathly ill with kidney failure. he was in the hospital for 6 days and came home, we cared for him at home for 8 days and he just got worse so we put him to sleep. this is the only change to his diet in the past 2 years. he has eaten only 1 other food, farm and fleet dry, a local brand. i know he did not get sick from that food because we also feed that food to our pet rats and they are fine. only after i gave him those nutromax products did he become sick.

The response I got from the company was suggestions on how to feed my dogs!! They subsequently recalled the puppy and cat foods but not the dog products.

My dogs are older and My wife and I are still very upset. We don't have kids and are involved with our pets from and emotional standpoint. We live in a very rural area and the dogs protect our property and us. We have no guns only dogs.

My cat got sick overnight; lethargic, no appetite; took him to his vet & she smelled an ammonia type odor from his mouth that she said could indicate a kidney problem. It was acute kidney failure. They hydrated him; had him on an IV; had to force feed him; for nearly two weeks. Despite all their best efforts to save him, he was euthanized 2/6/07. He was my best little buddy and I miss him terribly.

I paid $1726.00 in vet bills. I'm cooking homemade food for my remaining cat. How horrible to think I poisoned my own buddy! The vet is convinced the death was due to tainted food.

My cat died a week or so after this pet food recall happened. He was in fine health before. A wonderful cat. He was a neighborhood cat that everyone fed. One day he didn't come home, this turned into 2 weeks. I went looking through the neighborhood and couldn't find him. I talked to my neighbors behind me and they found him dead in the their back yard just a yard away. There was no trauma.

I honestly believe he was killed by this, like I said he was fine before and then must have been to ill to make it back home. So many people feed him so I don't know if it was theirs or mine but my food that I feed him was recalled too. We had SEVERAL cats die around here at the same time and like the others they eat at several peoples houses and were just fine then just kept coming up dead. We thought maybe someone was poisioning them but I'm thinking it might be this.

i had to put down my cat after the vet said he wasnt sure what was wrong, he was a strong healthy male .it all happened in a weeks time, went to my local vet, after some tests was sent to a specialist who still didn't know for sure, at a total cost of both vets of over 8 hundred dollars.

We are so deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved Suma. Just a week before he died he was vibrant, alert, friendly, loving, affectionate. Suddenly he stopped eating, then stopped drinking, and vomited bile repeatedly. His abdomen became extremely distended and it had to be drained.

My dog ate the product and died of renal failure. He was in good health and died suddenly. Total kidney collapse.

We had 2 precious poodles; needless to say we loved them very much. Our male miniature ate more of the food since he was larger. He started getting sick. His little stomach started hurting him, & I could hear the noise it made. We took him to our vet and he was there and suffered for 3 weeks before we finally knew there wasn't any hope of saving him. We put him down, & still can't believe it all happened!

Myself and my husband have had to miss work for a week now and counting. We are at a hotel 5 hours from home.

I have kept up on the recall of the pet foods. My dog started showing symptoms, more frequent urination, drinking more water and lacked energy. I suspected the food but the Mighty Dog canned food is said to be okay. In fact even today their website stated as such.

This morning my dog was very agitated, pacing and crying which he never does. I took him to the vet. I called Mighty dog and the woman told me that yes the canned food had been recalled last week! The woman told me to email the company (great...meantime people continue to feed this poison to their dogs).

I am awaiting tests the vet ran which should come back tomorrow. I am angry that up to this point they led me to believe the food was okay and that they neglected to warn people about the food. Even after I called them, this afternoon, the website still said the canned food was okay.

Shame on you for letting this go any further than it has. My dogs are 13 and 9 years old, they are MY CHILDREN! They are on their second visit to the vet. I will be that person that will never stop until someone can figure out what to do. I have spent more that enough on food, that keeps getting recalled...and on vet bills. Someone needs to compensate!

We had a terrible experience in the later part of August early September. Our cat Binks was having trouble urinating. Binks was one and a half years old a beloved cat that lived inside and was taken the very best care of. Then after 3 attempts of unblocking him he went into complete renal failure. He was perfectly healthy and then one day it just hit. It did not make since to me how this could have happened.

Some one should be responsible for these deaths our poor kids cried for months over their cat and my boy still cries at night over it. Because of the renal failure I had to have him put to sleep after $1000.00 of vet bills I couldn't save him. They said there was no hope to save him.

I ended up in emergency room at Hospital with high blood pressure and feeling llike I was having a heart attach (it was a panic atttach) being so stressed and upset with him not getting better and the vet saying we would give him one more day to see if any improvement,but unfortunately that never happened.

My golden retriever buddy who is 1 and a half years old became extremely ill, vomiting for a week and a half to two weeks straight. while eating this product. My poor dog spent morning till night eating a pile of grass then throwing it up, over and over again. I thought Buddy was going to die.

Nutro did not recall their dry dog food and almost killed my dog. And could have caused permanent damage to my very healthy dog who is my 11 year old sons best friend. This is appalling.

Don't know if my pet's (dog) problem is related to the food. But two weeks ago, she became very ill coughing and bumps all over her body. The vet thought pnemonia. Then she thought blastomycoccis. After spending roughly $3,500.00 for tests and hospital stays, the vet does not know what it is or was. I don't know if this has anything to do w/pet food. But we do not know what it is from. I am definately scared to feed her any dog food.

I bought 2 bags of Iam puppy in the 20# bags (dry) 3 days later my dog was sooo sick I know it is not part of the recall but he was diagnosed with 32 different infectious bacteria and vomiting, bloody-water stool hair loss and extreme gas. When we rushed him to the vet 6 other dogs had the same problem -- all on similar food! My dog is an indoor dog, he does not get into anything like trash. The vet would not give me a straight answer on what could cause this for fear of name slinging if a lawsuit were to come out of this but I am very concerned! $600 dollars later my dog is doing better..... Not 100% but better. If you were to ask my opinion he was poisoned -- all the signs were there and I being a vet assistant in my younger days I felt that was my situation.

Our dear little poodle Bitzie started to not feel well the last of Nov. 2006 so I started her on Iams wet food and dry foods thinking she wasn,t getting the right food as I mostly feed home-cooking. I took her to the dr. because she was coughing and started to not keep her food down also she started to pee in the house witch she never did.We got meds for her but she didn't seem to unprove. Within a couple of weeks she died in my arms. Nothing anyone could do can ease my broken heart .I miss my baby so much. I landed in the hospital a week afer she died some was grief-related

I feel so sad for the people who have lost their pets. I don't think whis letter will mean much to you. But it helps my heart. I loved my Bitzie Bullet so much I called her my cancer dog as she never left my side through all my grief of the loss of my daughter to cancer and myself a double breast cancer. I feel I let my precious pet down.

I believe the tainted food was on the market prior to the date they say.I had two cats one was very healthy after eating that food he had kidney failure The vets could not understand why he got so sick so quickly even when I had to put him out of his pain he still had a healthy coat etc. my other cat has ibs and was fed different food. This happened at the end of October.

We owned a Blue Tick Walker dog worth $300 a Norwegian Blue Tick Walker worth $1000 and 2 Australian Sheppard dogs worth $200 each. We purchased Ole Roy dog food at our local Wal-Mart. The dogs acted listless and no energy. They acted very lethargic. Within a week they were dead.

These pets were not only our pets but they were of economic value to our family.

Last Saturday morning, we had a sweet little healthy Dauchshund who was almost nine years old, eating her breakfast as usual and playing ball with my hubsnad.  By late afternoon, she was vomiting, laying around and breathing heavily.  We nursed her through the night, taking her to the vet early the next morning, only to see her worsen. As much temp as she had (105), he gave her a penicillin shot and sent her home. The next day we had to put her to sleep.  We are so upset.

My cat food was on the list of recalled foods. Unfortunately my cat had already consumed many cans for weeks prior to the recall. We had to put him to sleep on March 29 as he was in kidney failure.

My 20 year old son had a 6 month old puppy mix of pit bull and not sure the other mix. He fed his dog Roscoe different varieties of wet can dog food cannot remember the names right off hand. After doing that the puppy became very ill. No appetite vomiting blood and blood in his diarrhea. Stayed this way for more than 4 days. Called the veternarian, he had no money to take the dog to be looked at. They said because he was a puppy he probably had parvo. After researching on the internet parvo symptoms it seemed like that what it was. Without money to be treated no one would help him. They said he would go quick and to just stay with him. My son literally could not get any help from anyone. He had to watch his dog die in his home and take his last breath. He basically suffered to the end. I link this to the dog food recall, he was very healthy up until then.

My dog Peanut a 12 lb. Shetland sheepdog experienced seizues on 2/13/07had a neurologic episode resulting in seizures which doctor's believed was kidney related findings were not medically induced and doctors did not nknow what caused this problem . I believe it was tainted food.

Peanut is ok but this resulted in a $2,000.00 emergency vet bill.

I believe Stater Brothers dry pet food reduced calorie for adult dogs should be tested. All 3 of my dogs got sick on it and I removed the rest and started feeding something else, and this was a couple of weeks BEFORE any recall info was available. Someone needs to test DRY Food as well.

My mini-doxie can't keep his hind legs under him anymore and is lethargic. My toy rat terrier threw up all the time and suffered from bloating. Both dogs bloated up.

My dog was given dog treats, but died just a week ago and my mother says the vet told her it was from the dog treats that we were feeding her. We just thought the dog food was contaminated; but I guess not.

It killed her.

My cat died after eating Special Kitty.

ˆ

My cat was admitted to our vet for 6 days with kidney failure. She is a 5 year old indoor cat. Our vet could not understand what caused this. I purchased 36 pouches of the Special Kitty food from Wal-Mart, she had eaten 8 pouches. She is on several medications. This is wrong....we all should not be going thru this.

Our 17 year old cat has been sick for about one year, she went from a 12lb. cat to 6lbs, other symptoms include, vomiting, thirst, the vet just passed it off as an old cat. We finally traced the problem to new dry cat food which we had purchased at Costco. We believe a lot of dry food contains this wheat gluten and the problem is more widespread and older than people think. We have removed all dry food from the cat and she has stabilized although the vet indicates she has compromised kidney function.

Would like this to be a warning to othere pet owners, beware of all wheat gluten, we don't believe the whole story is out yet!

My dog was 15 but was very active and spunky. He was fed Iams dry dog food, and became very ill very quickly. I did not feed him the wet dog food, but he still was lethargic, lost weight rapidly was vomiting, urinating in the house and could not walk. He lost weight rapidly and by the time I got him to the vet he had sores in his mouth and was in acute renal failure. We euphemized him, It was horrible.

My dog has elevated kidney numbers and low kidney output numbers. She ate the Menu recalled dog food. I'm not interested in a lawsuit. I just want the company to know how extensive this poisoning has been. I called the company and they told me someone would get back to me. I haven't heard anything from them.

Vet bills so far, $201.00. We have to go back for more blood work tomorrow to see if her numbers are going back to normal of if she has permanent damage.

Our perfectly healthy Great Dane, Tiny, stopped eating and was only drinking, then she started throwing up; soon enough she was lethargic and would just lie around and moan. After that she spent an entire day at the vet’s office receiving IV fluids and having blood drawn so they could send it off for tests. Soon enough it was determined that she had advanced kidney disease. No longer even drinking more than a lick or two of water at a time, we even tried to hand feed her and placed bowls of water next to her head but she wouldn’t even try anymore.

Today my daughter and I looked up the recall on the internet and compared the various cans of dog food we have still at the house. Unfortunately 2 of the 4 brands we have are on the recall list(s).

The first vet visit cost us $500.00. Over the next few days we were eaten up with guilt watching her slowly die and decided to ask the vet to put her to sleep (another cost of $200.00). It's hard to describe how much she meant to all of us, she was very smart and large, these features combined with her personality made her like a member of our family and this was very hard for all of us to deal with. I've never had to make a decision like that and hope to never have to again. This is so sad and I’ll miss her forever.

I fed my perfectly healthy Rottweiler one 22oz. can of Choice Cuts in sauce Country Stew Pedigree can food. Within a few weeks Meg (my dog) started loosing weight, not drinking, throwing up, and eating very little. Meg also started to urinate on her bed while she was sleeping. When Meg was taken to the vet she was given 2 bags of IV fluids and a shot for an upset stomach. Full blood work was also done on Meg and the vet told us the results would be back the next day.

Meg was sent home with pill for an upset stomach that should have helped her eat and drink and be able to keep food down, this medication did not work. The next day the vet contacted us and informed us that Meg was in total renal failure and there was nothing that could be done to help her. On 3-16-2007 the decision was made to put Meg to sleep because she was totally lifeless and laid in the floor and her whole body shook. Meg was more than just a dog she was a part of our family for eight years!

I had to put down my dog for health problems that occured in the past months since she had been eating this food.

My dog was my child and has been with me for 13+ years. The amount of pain I am going through for my loss of my best friend is undescribable. There are many finacial losses due to my dogs health and the final days before she was put to sleep. The void left is unmeasurable, but we want to make sure that something good comes out of this, be it more strict policies on food quality or money that can go to help other aminals in need.

I suspect there is a probem with the dry dog food. As you read my posts (and others), animals are getting sick from the dry food as well. My 3 dogs stopped eating last week-refusale to eat the food (I have this documented wt loss by the vet). I have changed foods, and hope we have evaded future problems. Blood tests returned as normal. I will be closely monitoring my pets until I am certian this food scare is resolved.

I paid about $600 in vet bills thus far. I ahve contacted Iams to seek repayment. I still have the food, in the orginal the bag...barley touched. My goal is to have the questions/concerns in regards to the safety of the pet foods adequately addressed. There are too many questions out there still.

My cat died of kidney failure due to ingestion of contaminated cat food. Loss of loving cat and about a thousand dollars in vet. bills.

I fed my dog Mighty Dog pouches, a week later he was vomiting blood. Within 4 days I had to have him put to sleep. I kept the dog food and the box. My barcodes match up with the contaminated products. I still have the box. dog food, and medical records.

Over the past year I have feed my 11 year old cat who was in healthy condition, ISAM cat food - daily. Starting in June of last year she began to be more Lethargic, loss of appetite and disintegrating health. In August of 06 - She began vomiting and soon died.

There were no bills incurred, just the emotional lost of a beloved pet. I have bills and bank statements from over the year from where her food was purchased.

I have been feeding my dog the Ole Roys soft dog food now since November 2006. It seemed as though my dog enjoyed the food that I was providing him. Inoticed on Sunday March 18, 2007 he was just not himself. He couldnt stand up on his own and seemed to be in a lot of pain. I stood him up on his legs and he fell over. I gave him a bath that night thinking that may help and I noticed he was acting very lethargic. His eyes were rolling to the back of his head and he was not responding to my calls. I carried him to bed that night.

He slept with me on a nightly basis and all night he just whimpered. Everytime he moved he cried. I also noticed that the entire day before he was not eating or drinking any water. The next morning I woke and he had labored breathing and more lethargic than the night before. That is when I decided to take him to the vet. I wrapped him in a warm towel and took him in on the way in I noticed he was extracting **** out of his eyes and the whites of his eyes were yellow.

Once in the vets office he had a BM which was nothing but blood! After that he was done. The Vet said that there was nothing she could do at that point but to put him down. I lost my dog. I lost a part of my family!

Two of my pets were vomiting clear or slightly yellow fluid. Both were hospitalized and died the same evening they were admitted to bellport animal hospital.

We owned two full-breed boxer puppies approximately 4 months old, raised them since birth. Three weeks ago they both became very ill, dehydrated, and weak. Biscuit, our female boxer went into what appeared to be some sort of seizure, heavy panting and extreme thirst. She had a couple of spasms and died right in front of us. Brownie our male boxer showed symptoms of thirst and excessive urination. He also began to favor one side of his body.

One day after Biscuit died, we rushed Brownie into the vet. He received IV fluids, antibiotics, and completed blood work. He seems to be doing better however he still has excessive urination, and has to go in for more blood testing.

We fed both our pups Iams chicken in gravy, puppy w/beef & chicken in gravy. After Vet visits, medications, and bloodwork we have spent approximately $500 in vet bills. We currently possess blood tests on Brownie which show abnormal results in several key areas. This has been a horrible experience for our family. Our two young children ages 7 and 9, have been greatly affected by the death of Biscuit. We are praying that Brownie does not have permit kidney damage.

My cat, Murphy has been in the hospital for 3 days now. He experienced the same symptoms as the cats I have read about. He quit eating, drank water to excess and was always in the litter box. The sad part is he survived being caught for 28 days in a neighbors animal trap two years ago. He suffered a crushed hind leg and lost over half of his body weight and still managed to drag himself home. It took awhile, but he came back and was back to normal. Now, after eating contaminated Authority brand pet food, he is has lost all of the weight he gained back, and is in renal failure. We have no idea what the cost is, but whatever it is, he is worth trying to save.

He is still hospitalized and we do not know the cost.  

Our family cat started to get sick 2 to 3 weeks ago losing weight, vomiting bile, no apatite. Took him to the vet on the 16 and had blood work done. Kidney values were two times higher then they should be. Later that day food recall was announced from Menu Food. Have been calling them 4 times a day at least, different times of the day either busy or the system was overloaded and to try calling back later. On Sunday there was an email address on the web site that was gone on Monday, after we got home from second visit with the vet. Cat is currently going through dialysis here at home 200ml of liquid every 2 - 3 days to flush his kidneys.

Over $200 in vet bills to this point, mental anguish over how this could happen, and a very real chance of having to euthanize him before this is over... he was completely healthy just one month ago. Other than the kidneys he is in good physical health.

I had a 9 week old healthy yorkie puppy, who died from toxin and/or unknown subtance in her stomach that showed up on xrays on March 16. She would not eat or drink for two days prior to her death and began to have seizures and her organs begain to shut down. She had eaten a small amount of cuts n gravy from another dogs bowl and by the afternoon she was very thirsty, but would not drink water.

I had to rush my puppy to the vet and later to the emerency hospital, total of $625.00, plus the cost of the registered yorkie. This was a birthday present for my 13 yr old daughter, not to mention the pain and suffering this has caused on the family.

I am almost certain that my dog may have died from eating this tainted dog product. I am the surviving ownwer of a PURE BREED Dorgue De Bordeaux better known as a French Mastiff, named Baggy whom we were forced to and with our deepest sadness put down last year on 3/16/06. It is the strangest thing that we just mourned the 1 year death of our dog Baggy who we treated as one of our kids. Its very shocking how this news comes exactly 1 year to the date of our dogs demise.

We purchased our dog from a certified Breeder on approx 9/1/02, he was born on 6/9/02 of a royal blood line in terms of canines.  He was current and up to date on all vacinations, and was in fine condition at age 4 years he weighed approx 150 lbs. as you can tell he was no small animal, then one day in late january he began to act strangely he stopped getting up and coming to the door when I came in which everyone who ever met my dog knows that he was my shadow, and he began to sleep all the time. His gait became unsteady and he began to drink enormous amounts of wates, while his food intake steaily declined.

I had my husband take him to the vet for the first time I believe on 2/18/06 where he was given an IV for dehydration an ultrasound, xrays, catheter and other medical intervention and a1-6 hour overnight in ICU all to the tune of $973.00. When my Baggy dog came home he looked a little less tired and at least wagged his tale a little bit. We received a call from the vet that our dog now weighed 130lbs, had splenomegaly(enlarged spleen) and enlarged lymph/prescapula nodes amongst other things. He was given prescription meds zantac and released to us. That was the beginning of the end for my Baggy Dog.

I began surfing the internet going to the library trying to get a handle on what was happening to my dog so suddenly. within 24 hrs our dog was unable to hold his urine could not eat and would vomit every time he took a swallow of water so we return to a larger veterinary office which the first emer vet refered us who again administered IV fluids etc.. but this time did more extensive testing blood work included. which came up to $873.00 we were told that our dog possibly had Canine Lymphoma and would need a biopsy, and definately was in renal failure.

We contacted the breeder to check on our Baggy's siblings all who were placed with other families throughout NYC and the rest of the countries and not one of the other dogs were having these issues.

Over the next few weeks we continued to watch our sweet Baggy dogs decline until he struggled and finally could barely get to his feet, and he could not even bend over to get a sip of water so we elevated his bowls but he only threw it up 2 min later, so I began to take a 8oz bottle and hand feed him the water, he stopped eating completely so the meds were impossible to administer, and then he began to urinate every few minutes everywhere, we couldn't sleep at night for fear and we had to get up every few minutes to let him outside. My daughters school work started suffering, no one could rest. Then one day our big beautiful dog who had previously been a house dog and my shadow went outside and stayed in this little corner on the side of our home staring into space and I tried to coax hime in but he couldn't even stand and I knew that he was waiting to die.

My 7-year old tabby cat died of kidney failure mid August, 2006. It is to no surprise that products are being recalled today for killing beloved pets. I took my cat to the vet, it was too late, I asked local shelters what to do and a cat shelter had advised me that I should not have fed my cat Friskies because she has known it to kill.

I lost a close family member - my cat Tazz, along with the hundreds of dollars I had invested in it over its lifetime in vet care and feeding; while the pet food industry was conniving away in the scam of the century.

My German Sheppard passed away mysteriously in December 2007. He fell sick and would not eat anything. He would only drink water and lay around. He was also drooling a lot from the mouth. Due to the fact that I have two dogs I never considered it being the food because my rottweiler did not get sick.

My dog passed away. I am now stationed in Japan. At the time of his death I was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. My shepard was part of my family for four years. This has been very hard for me and my children. 

I bought the Ol'Roy canned dog food for my dog, not realizing the potential dangerous effect it had on her. Since the beginning of February my 6 year old Brittany Spaniel started urinating frequently and in all places on my carpeting. We have now come to realize that this was in part to the contaminated food that was distributed to my local Walmart store from December '06 to March '07. I feel that whoever distributed this product should be responsible in any way.

I've had to live for the last month with urine stained carpeting in my living room (where my kids watch tv) and in my own personal bedroom. The smell is outrageous, and it's not even humid out yet. We have rented rug cleaners and to no avail did not last for she was still urinating.

Unforfunately I do not have the money to replace carpeting so now my family has to live with urine stained and urine smell carpeting! And not to mention the Vetenarian Bills!

My cat regularly ate Eukanuba Cuts with Savory Chicken and Gravy. He ate 3-4 3 oz cans of this food daily. He suffered acute renal failure beginning on February 20; I had to put him down on February 23.  

The consequences range from a $600+ veterinary bill to enormous personal loss/grief.

Between Jan. 10 and 20, I lost to rabbit beagles. On Feb 10, I lost a Lab. I only feed Big Red dog food. My neighbor lost two beagles. They quit eating and drinking, became dehydrated and died within a week.

I still have my old bags as we lay them aside to cut the free coupons off at a later date. My neighbor ran up a $300 vet bill. Vet had no idea what was happening.

I purchased the Eukanuba kitten morsels in gravy, having strictly fed this to my siamese 3 `month old kitten for 3 days. He went into acute renal failure. the exact thing that the recall said could happen

How`do i recoup the cost of my veterinary expenses and replacement value of my kitten if he does not survive? i have tried for two days to get through on their 866 number, it always rings busy. I have also emailed and gotten no response.

Our dog recently died from acute renal failure, she was in good health and only 10 years old. I have heard in the news about recent recalls on dog food due to similar problems. Our dog ate lamb and rice dry dog food.

We purchased Alley cat food from the store. Our cat of 12 years was buried today after being ill for the past two days. Jasmine avoided us for one day staying in the shed. She continued to avoid us the entire weekend, and we found her because our dogs sniffed her out.
