There is currently a massive, massive recall of multiple brands of wet pet food, for both cats and dogs, due to cases of kidney failure and death.

twistedchick has the details here. The post includes links to the companies' official announcements, as well as brand names. (My mother pointed out that it's mainly the expensive types of food -- our cheap Costco-bought stuff is safe -- but make sure you check anyway.)

The recall affects wet foods in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Dry food is not recalled -- but a LOT of wet foods, both canned and pouched types, are.

Spread the word.

In other news, happy St. Paddy's!

In other other news, GIP. :D

I've bought some of those brands.

Thanks for the heads-up, hon!

Nope, the recall affected lots of store brands as well. In fact the store brands were the initial cause of worry.

I'm using dry food, but sheeeesh, this is ugly.

Thanks for the heads-up.

It seems the Fuzzmonster's Fancy Feast is safe, but it's good to check.
