SERIOUS: Pet food recall
"Julie Porter" wrote in message ink.net... What a shock one company makes all those foods, if I pay for Iams I might be getting Bargain basement . No, no, it's a CONTRACT company. They make foods for lots of different companies, under contract, per the recipe they are given. The foods are NOT the same. They are just being produced, under different contracts, from different recipes, at the same place. A lot of human food is made this way. IE, Coca Cola has contracts with bottling companies that make Coke, but they also make K Cola for a different customer from a different recipe. For some reason people are getting the idea that all foods made at a contract company are the same food. That's not what a contract company does. Thanks, I must admit that I reached busy numbers and roadblocks in every attempt to see if I was affected. Finally I got the info from rec.pets.cats.community and I am not affected. Thank You Julie |

Thank You This is a great list. I was thinking back to Patches and when he left for the Bridge. He had kidney failure and he was getting on, but he was maybe only 12 or so. We thought we'd have him with us a few years more. How often could this happen and people not know that it was petfood related? All of us at the house of Williams offer our purrayers for those furry friends who have left us. May Bast bless. -- Regards, Fred |

No, not all the kinds made are the same, different cuts of meat and
different fillers. However, if the recipe calls for wheat gluton, that same wheat gluton will be used in all the recipes. That is why there is so much contamanation. |

Someone I know lost a pet (Little Bear) to kidney failure about a month ago and the pet was eating (I am pretty sure) a food from the bad food list. Should I bring this up ? I wonder if it might only hurt more than help... I don't think they connect the recall to Little Bears passing. Marvel |

If a class action deal is filed, then I might bring it up. Not that any
financial help would bring back the loss but, would be one more in number. My Sooter D*G had a kidny problem a month ago and my TED did call a couple of days ago to ask what I was feeding her. She is fine now. "Stormmee" wrote in message ... I might bring it up if I could do it in a way that wouldn't upset them, but am not sure how to do it... soft Marvel wrote in message ...

The problem with cases like this is that there would usually need to be a necropsy (animal equivalent of an autopsy) performed after the death, OR a well-documented "narrative" of the pet's illness by the pet's veterinarian. This is why I am as ****ed off as I am that the stupid company apparently waited as long as it did to announce the recall. It looks like they may wanted to avoid being responsible for as many deaths as possible, and they know that the majority of pet owners don't do necropsies when their pets die. In other words, there would need to be records of the illness and the death and what might have caused either. If you didn't take your pet into the vet's office for a checkup when s/he got sick, it would be AWFULLY hard to be able to say without some proof, even in a class action lawsuit, that tainted food is what killed the pet. It sucks, but I truly think that that is the way it would go if a class action or individual lawsuit were filed. I'm no lawyer, though, either. HTH. --- Cory Marvel wrote... I need an opinion..
