They could be helping instead of hiding. Does anyone one know who is trying to cover this up? Is it Menu Foods, the FDA?

I know the Nutro NC Ocean Fish pouches I feed poisoned 2 of my 11 kitties, without a doubt. They are the only 2 that exclusively ate the pouches, that was until last week of 1/07. When both were in renal failure within a day of one another. ALL was reported to Nutro & 2 pouches were mailed with vet dx 1st week of 2/07. Menu Foods had the PC code on the recall list, but a different bb date. They had the bb date of the pouches I have but a different PC code. PLEASE don't trust the list by Menu Foods. I believe it to be VERY incomplete & have reported that to Nutro immediately 3/19. And it seems Nutro is not trusting Menu on the pc #'s & bb dates, obviously they know different by the recall of all their wet foods per their website. There is no monitoring or auditing of Menu's products, let alone their procedures,by any authority. So how accurate can their record keeping be??? I think there is much more to come.

He was afflicted by the tainted food in the Mighty Dog foil pouches. He was a picky eater and that was the only thing he liked...His food was on their recall list. He started getting sick mid feb.--started not eating, drinking lots of water and started vomiting...On Feb. 26th, he was really sick and went right to the vet and was on fluids and had testing--he stayed there for 4 days and came home-he was beginning to feel better and we were feeding him 'homemade' foods. On the 9th, I offered him some of his mighty dog and he went downhill within hours. I knew it was his last day. The purina people have called. I was at work and will talk to them tomorrow. To all who have lost thier sweet little frieinds, I am so sorry....he was so funny. I miss him. I lost my great little 7 year old Pappillon on March 9th due to renal failure.

They've added the 3 oz cans of all flavors to their withdrawal list. The initial list only had 1 3oz can listed. Sorry for the multiple posts, it was hard to tell the way they set it up. (Which is why I'm working on my own summary list of products recalled, almost done) Okay, again. They’ve added the 3 oz cans of all flavors to their withdrawal list.

Recalls the rest of their menu-made food. Only 4 more flavors, but it’s still great…

I lost "Angel" a pure breed neuteured abysinnian male pet only 2-1/2 years old. Indoor only kitty. He got sick mid December and was dead in 3 weeks from kidney failure. The food he ate was from the menu foods list. I read a VERY DISTURBING PRESS RELEASE from menu foods dated March 16, 2007 that was titled "... Precautionary Dog and Cat Food Recall" and included the notation" NOT FOR RELEASE OVER US NEWSWIRE SERVICES" This seems very strange to me. Any thoughts? What is going on here!

It finally made sense why our cat died! Although he was almost 18, he was in perfect health. He got sick so quick! It started on the weekend and by Monday first thing at the vets, we knew it was bad. Later in the day our vet called and told us that there was no hope for him and on Tuesday, we had to put down our treasured friend and companion, the delight of our hearts. Why? This makes no sense to me and I want to get to the truth of this poisoning. How long has it been going on and why didn't they inform us? We fed our cat the best brands and never imagined we would lose him to a tainted food supply. I want to be compensated for my vet bills as well and I appreciate all of the info I read from several of you. I'm sorry for everyone's heartbreaking loss of their darlings.
