Oh My God, It is getting worse and worse. My beautiful orange tabby, Sparky stopped eating and I had to have him put down. I think this bad food thing has been going on for a lot longer than we know. I really believe now that it has killed a lot of our pets. This is truly a nightmare for all pet lovers. I would give anything to have my Sparky cat back. Julie
Thank you for posting this information. It takes a long time to sift through the websites to find out which foods are being affected. I have pulled my dog off of any food, dry or wet and treats that are being distributed by the companies involved. I wish though there was some way to see which distributers get their ingredients from MenuFoods? Also is MenuFoods the only company getting the affected wheat gluten?
Julie, I am so sorry for your loss. It’s heartbreaking. I think there have been real problems with the pet food industry for a long time and it can be really difficult to find good information. I’m so sorry about Sparky.
Jennifer, I’m glad I could help. I’ll be posting information on safe pet foods and one reason they’re safer is because these companies are more forthcoming about where they source their ingredients and what those ingredient are. It can be hard to get balanced information and I hope the upcoming post will help in that area too.
Julie, I’m sooo sorry about Sparky.It is really sad when you can’t feed your pets food without worrying if it’s going to hurt them or not. I have decided not to feed my dog’s pet food. I will be feeding them rice and tuna until this problem get’s fixed.To everyone else that has lost a pet due to this, I am so sorry for your loss as well.
I examined all the labels on my cat food & discarded ANYTHING that contained ‘wheat gluten’. Better safe than sorry — it may be safe today, but it seems the list keeps growing!
My condolences to anyone that has lost a pet.
