Dry pet food recall

God forbid any of you actually rely on me as your only source of pet food recall news, but just in case, I thought it would be good to mention the dry pet foods being recalled.  So far, there’s just one:  Hill’s Prescription Diet m/d Feline Dry Food.  You know there are going to be more, though.  I find the recall of the Prescription Diet food especially sad, because it was fed by owners who were trying to give their pets the very best, and who were paying extra for “premium” food, as well as getting regular veterinary care for their pets.  I feel badly for the vets who sold the stuff, too, but I really hope this is a wake-up call for them.  Maybe this is the time for some sort of independent, nonprofit pet food regulatory group to form, to see through the millions of dollars companies like Hill’s can throw into research, into vet and vet tech training, etc.  The group could handle reports of possible food contamination, maintain databases of ingredients, etc.  I’ll send them a donation if someone wants to start this.  I don’t know, but something needs to change.

  1. I read that they’re recalling because they bought their wheat gluten from the same supplier as Menu Foods. Or was that Purina, recalling some dog food? I’ve been watching OldMotherHubbard.com, makers of Wellness, and they don’t use wheat gluten. I’ve also seen people panicking about other Hill’s dry foods, but that’s not necessary unless they contain the wheat gluten, too.
    Celiacs have to avoid all wheat, rye, barley and oats because they are allergic to the gluten all these grains contain/produce. Potatoes, rice, corn are all ok.
