Keep in mind that it was mostly the "SLICES IN GRAVY" types of canned food that was recalled, and only ones from specific time frames. Check the MenuFoods website and compare its information to your cans at home before panicking.

If you DO have a recalled food item, you can bring it back to any PetSmart for a full refund or exchange for an unaffected food.

Answer 3

Iams is on the list and you should immediately stop using it. The list is very long so you should be very cautious about all other brands of dogfood. I've seen somewhere in answers a linkto the exact site which gives the list of affected dog and cat food. Apparently, dogs and cats are having serious medical problems with the infected food.

Answer 4

i saw that too this tnight and yes sound bad about owners who lost their pets cause the brand dogs and cats foods was making them sick and even killed them ? that why, ever states and countries out there who work at the petsmarts and pets shops, animals shelters are trying to take out few bad foods off the shelfts now. but i only heard that the brand foods like KIbbles and Iams dogs dried foods are causeing the dogs and cats have bad liver and heart problems and brealthy problem too. so iam not sire what theyre going do next how to take care of the problems with the foods at the stores .

Answer 5

I don't exactly remember the reason for the recall but I do remember that it was in a few brands of wet dog and cat food, including Iams.

Answer 6

I heard that too. When I was at Wegmans today some of the iams dog food was off the shelf because it was recalled, but not all of it. I heard they could die from it. I would check it though because I don't think it is for all kinds.

Answer 7

The exact information you need is at www.iams.com

The company that made the food is www.menufoods.com

My dog eats iams and when I went to check, their site was down for maintenance.

Remember, the dry food is fine, just the wet was affected.

Answer 8

It's true. At least 10 dogs have died. Others have experienced kidney failure. Here is a list of affected dog foods.
http://www.menufoods.com/recall/product_dog.html

Iams is on the list.

Go to http://www.iams.com/ to figure out what you need to do.

Answer 9

As mentioned, it's canned and pouch food. But, take this opportunity to switch to a high quality food like Blue Buffalo or Natural Balance. Same basic price, human grade food, superior quality to Iams. : )

Answer 10

If you read the news clip then you already should know taht there is a number to call and it is only on certain types of food, not all Iams. Thre is also a sight link to go check the serial number against the bag/cans of food that you have already bought. check it again and please call. We are all concerned over this matter and I hope your pet is ok.

Answer 11

It is true, and apparently affects many brands. I THINK it's CANNED cat and dog food but you should check.
