Pet Food Recall Underway
With a nationwide recall of millions of containers of
dog and cat food underway, many pet owners called stores and veterinarians
offices this weekend, all worried that the
kibble in their cupboard may be deadly. Menu Foods, the Ontario-based company
that produced the pet food, said
Saturday it was recalling dog food sold under 46 brands and cat food sold under
37 brands including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba.
