WARNING for DOG & CAT Owners

I am a huge animal lover and my baby is a Black Lab/Shepherd.
The latest news had me concerned, but luckily, we weren't affected.

In case some of you haven't yet heard on the News or read about it online, I wanted to bring to your attention a manufacturer recalled 51 brands of dog food and 40 brands of cat food over the weekend after its products were linked to kidney failure and death in 10 animals.

The products were wet-style foods packaged in cans and pouches. They were sold at national retailers including Wal-Mart, PetSmart and Safeway.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Experts advise owners to call their veterinarian if a pet has eaten recalled food and shows symptoms of possible kidney failure. An animal could be in trouble if it:
• Stops eating
• Appears tired and lifeless
• Seems excessively thirsty
• Urinates much more than usual
• Vomits
• Has diarrhea
• Seems to have abdominal pain
