Like millions of other dog owners, the pet food recall has been a wake-
up call about the safety of commercial dog and cat food. If you check
the label on your current pet food, you will see that the list of
ingredients may be misleading and could be the cause of many disorders
in your pet such as kidney failure, joint problems, pain and disease.
What exactly is the cause of the pet food recall?
It has been discovered that the hazardous chemical melamine has been
detected in the rice protein and the wheat gluten ingredients. This
chemical which is used to make plastic and fertilizer has been found
in both the dry-bagged food and the moist or wet food.
Some of the warning signs to look for in your pet are:
- Vomiting- Increased urination- Increased water intake- Loss of
appetite- Lethargy or sluggishness
The consequences have been devastating! It is believed that thousands
of dogs and cats have developed kidney dysfunction or died after
eating the contaminated pet food. This serious dilemma has been
extremely aggravating and scary for veterinarians and pet lovers
nationwide....
