[jcat]

How about adding Orijen? Has anybody seen any Champion Pet Foods connection to the recall? http://www.championpetfoods.com/orij.../ourStory.aspx

The FDA is reporting the deat of 1950 cats and 2200 dogs due to Melamine poisoning. Finally the reported numbers are slightly closer to reality, although I suspect the cat numbers are still too low. FDA also is detaining all shipments of vegetable proteins from China.

Link to Itchmo and a direct link to the FDA site are below.

Please add Chicken Soup dry foods to the good list.

The FDA lists milled rice products as one of the products being detained. Stupid question, but would that include "brown rice flour"?

If they were getting a whole grain product .. then yes brown rice would be on there .... I suspect that China is not shippping alot of whole grains or whole flours...



I am only putting what is NOT MENU or AMERICAN I made ... Also I am not putting brands that have relations to them recalled or not for ease of use...

I just received an email from the PetPlace.com Newsletter with an updated recall list. I am very upset, because Petco just sold me Natural Balance yesterday. Also here is the link. I have mentioned this before, but this is a great daily newsletter for/about cats and cat owners.

There is a very long list of dog food and dog treat recalls on this link as well.

Which NB did Petco sell you? The only NB canned cat food that's been recalled is the Oceanfish flavor...unless there's something I missed. My Petcos still have the other flavors available.

I think it was venison - I just got two cans, because, honestly, the girls finally decided that they would eat the new Wellness grain free - I just couldn't get to Pet Quarters till tomorrow to re-stock my Wellness wet and dry. I am trying to get a brand that the girls and my little Raggie boy can eat (when he arrives!)

NB venison wet is "fine" the dry was the one recalled...

At this point, with the chicken for human consumption contaminated.. is there any point in even trying to keep track now? I cant' believe this! :bawl:

Has anyone posted this article yet? I did a search in this thread for cyuranic acid and found nothing. About mid-way through the article it says that they "think" they have identified why our pets are all of a sudden becoming ill and dying although the melamine has been in pet food for years. When melamine is combined with cyuranic acid, it forms crystals. See link below.

I am now a bit confused... as the first article s stated the acids were BY PRODUCTS of melemine ...not seprarate issues...

I know it, and I guess I'm going to have to do that and cut it some with other meats... but they're mainly eating chicken so .. I'm going to have to bite the bullet for free range or organic and pay $4 a pound or more per day until this blows over.

Cross contamination is always an issue. This should have been done long ago. Will American Nutrition do the same?

Nutro has not updated their site.

When there is a recall...site updates should be done immediately, even if people have to work overtime.
