About the scare with the the cat foods and kidney failures...?

Question

I haven't really been watching the news since I first heard about this escapade. Is the illnesses from the wet food, the dry food or both? I usually only feed my cat store brand dry food but sometimes the store brand wet stuff. I'm worried about her, shes only 7 months old.

Answer 1

They say it's only in the wet food, mainly the gravy pouches.

I'm a little irritated about it because I normally give my cat Wellness brand canned food, but was at PetSmart a couple of weeks ago and bought some of the Nutro>:( Even if they tell me it's not the kind that's been making cats sick, I know it's from the same manufacturer, and I'm not risking it.

Here's a list of the brands:
