    the best thing to do is to pay close attention to your pets. If they even give an inkling that they are acting funny.

    Drinking more water is a sign of kidney damage.

    Take them in to the vet to get tested. You may be able to catch it before it is too late.

    I am still feeding my animals their dry food. Purina and neutro which only had one product

    ALSO

    you can look at the lable yourselves

    look for the ingrediant Wheat Gluten

    This is the ingrediants involved. If you are so worried about your food go to the store and read all the lables untill you find a food that does not contain wheat gluten

    Science Diet and perscription diet carry a wide variety of products that do not contain wheat gluten. You can find science diet at the store and percription diet at the vet.

    I think its kinda funny that they still cant figure out what caused it. Just get some of it and run some tests. :?

    they found traces of melamine a type of plastic in the food and also that of dead dogs and cats. It is in the Wheat Gluten from a particular crop that they have pinpointed.

    The question now is... How the hell did it get there

    Have you guys all heard of the latest pull-back? Apparently a chemical used to create plastic has gotten into Cat food.

    This disturbs me seeing as how I have an 8 year old cat. These companies need to be sued. Although, I figure since the outbreak their company has been ruined.
