Science Diet MD Prescription Dry Cat food pulled?

Question

Hill's Pet Nutrition has recalled its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food apparently because it includes included wheat gluten from the same supplier that Menu Foods used.

For anyone worried about whether this was a question, just preface the above "question" with "Did you know that.." So ya, it's a question AND an update.

Here is a link to the release article.

I expect more to come soon.

Actually there was a Science Diet canned food on the original recall list as well.

It was only canned foods at first.

Answer 2

Hill's prescription m/d dry which is prescribed to diabetic animals is being recalled. You can only get this food through a veterinarian not at your local pet store, walmart, grocery store etc...As far as we know, no other dry foods have been officially recalled.
The rumors about Iams and Eukanuba dry food being recalled are false. Proctor and Gamble released a statement this morning that only the wet food is affected and as far as they know the dry food is still safe.
Watch your pets for any vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, increased water intake and lethargy. Those are some of the symptoms of kidney problems. Also if your pets have been on any of the food on the recall list it may not be a bad idea to get them checked in case they are having kidney problems but are asymptomatic.

I work at a vet clinic and that's the latest information we've received from the companies as of 4 hours ago.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Have your veterinarian run some blood tests to prove that the contaminated food was the source of the problem. Once you get the approval/notary/go ahead from the vet. you can file your request.
