Menu Foods announced on March 16 that it was recalling certain
types of wet cat and dog food sold under various brand names. These products
may be related to a small number of cats and dogs suffering premature kidney
failure.
South Salem Veterinary Clinic has not sold any of the effected
products but we understand that not all of our clients buy their pet food from
us. To find out if your pet’s food is affected follow this link to the
Menu Foods recall website.
If you find that your pet has been eating one of the suspect
products there is no need to panic. Millions of pets have shown no adverse
reaction to the food in question. We advise that you stop feeding the products
listed on the recall website and
watch your pet for the following symptoms:
Lethargy
Loss of appetite
Diarrhea
Vomiting
If your pet exhibits some or all of these symptoms you should
make an appointment with us or another veterinarian to have your pet’s kidney
function tested.
We have more information about general pet nutrition issues on
our Nutrition page.
