ATTENTION PET OWNERS

Massive pet food recall.

Includes some well-known brand names and a bunch of store brands.

I'm more than a little creeped out by this, because I KNOW there are some things on that list that KB ate in the month before her death, when we were trying to get her weight up. She was mostly eating Fancy Feast and her dry prescription food, but when she stopped eating, we were trying anything and everything to get her to eat. I know she had kidney problems anyway, but she had actually been doing well up until mid-December. I wonder if what was in this stuff sped up the deterioration. I have no way to be sure, of course, but I'm still definitely upset.

What creeps me out is that there have been no Canadian complaints. It's only the American pets that are being affected. Was it a problem in shipping? What would cause a weird distinction like that?

I'm guessing it's a regional manufacturing/distribution thing. It could be that the plant or distribution center that serves Canada goes through a different process because of different regulations for pet food, or even just because of the different labeling.
