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.
