Venison & Green Pea Dry Cat Foods Recalled

[krazyaboutkatz]

I've also been feeding Ziggy, Pearl, and recently Sky some of the Venison & Green Pea Allergy Formula too. Before the recall, I was searching for another food though because Pearl didn't want to eat this food any more. I have to buy a food that doesn't have fish in it though because Storm is allergic to fish and if he smells it then he wants to eat it. I had this problem when I was feeding them Innova. Storm then refused to eat his prescription food and then he developed crytals again because I allowed him to eat the Innova.

I just started mixing in Felidae Chicken & Rice dry with the Venison & Green Pea and I've also been adding the canned version of the Felidae Chicken & Rice to it since last week. Pearl's portion was only the Felidae since she refused the Venison & Green Pea but just last night she was very hungry and wanted to eat the Vension & Green Pea so I let her eat a lot of it. Ziggy, Pearl, and Sky also had some this morning before I heard about the recall.

So far none of them have been acting sick. If anything, they've all been much more active than usual lately. I'm already taking my other 3 cats to the vet this Sunday and I'll be sure to ask my vet about them and see if they really need to be checked out or not. The expiration date on my two 5 lb bags is June 29,2008 but I'm planning on taking them both back to Petco. I sure hope that no other foods will be added to the ever growing recall list.

I just called their consumer line and spoke with the nicest lady. They are 2 lots being affected by this recall. Both have an expiration date of Sept. 2008. She did say to discontinue feeding all the green pea and venison regardless just to be of the safe side.

Thanks so much for keeping us updated. It also makes me worry about the quality of human food imported from China.

I found out some interesting news today when I was returning the Venison & Green Pea dry cat food at Petco. The lady told me that they had pulled everything on Saturday. Why wasn't the public notified about this recall until Tuesday. I wonder how many other people knew about this on Saturday.

They also didn't want to give me my cash back but insisted on giving me store credit. I told them that I wanted cash back and that I was told that I could go back to the place where I had purchased this food and could receive cash back without having a receipt. The lady was able to look up my receipt and they finally gave me cash back. They originally wanted me to come back tomorrow so I could talk to their manager but I'd be working during these hours.

I can't believe they gave you such a hassle about returning it. I have not had a chance to return mine yet and I really hope they do not start with me. I'm PMS'ing and not in the mood!

On another note I just started my cats on yet another food. This one is the BLUE Spa Select Lite Formula Dry Cat Food and they seem to like it so far. Fingers crossed that this one is ok.

It is just mind blowing that this list of contaminated pet food and treats keeps growing. It is insane!!
