If you haven't heard, there is a major, nationwide recall of dog and cat food going on. It is only for "wet" foods, and it is not all dog and cat foods. The affected products were manufactured by a company called Menu Foods. To find a complete list of tainted brands CLICK HERE.

So, how safe is the food we feed our pets? For that matter, how safe is the food WE eat? The fact is, the food we consume is generally pretty safe, and the food we gie to our pets of pretty safe. No one can gaurantee that it will be 100% safe, but lets face it; With all the food we consume, the number of problems have been minimal. Yes, there have been several recalls lately, but look what happened. Just as soon as the problem was discovered, and it only takes a small number of instances to get the authorities attention, they jump into action. The nws media is notified, and that gets picked up on the internet. before long, the word is spread quickly across the country. In each of the recent recalls, the manufacturers have quickly ordered a recall, and the product quickly is removed from the distribution system.

So, you have fed your pet Iams canned or pouched food for many years. Your pet is has been happy and healthy, you are satisfied, and have been for years. Now this product is recalled. Should you switch to something else? Maybe...maybe not. The tainted food is gone, or will be gone soon, so you there will be no danger to your pet if you continue to feed them their usual brand. Be diligent, and only purchase your pet food from someone you can trust, like All for PETZ. We have removed the tained product, and so have our suppliers. We know which date codes to watch for,and we will NEVER knowingly ship bad product. Will the other pet supplies say the same thing? There is going to be a black market for the unsold food which isn't destroyed, and it will be cheap. There are plenty of unethical operators out there who will try to pass that off as good food just to make a buck. We will never do that.

Maybe you would like to try another brand, something that isn't mass marketed. If so, we recommend Royal Canin, Merrick, or Eagle Pack. All are high quality products, and none of them were effected by the recall.

The bottom line is, you should be diligent, do a little homework, but feed your pet in confidence. Check in with All for PETZ for up-to-the-minute information about any pet safety issues. We also recommend you jon and contribute to ASPCA.
