I just read that Menu Foods is recalling some of their pet food because it may cause death or kidney failure. There have been approximately ten deaths, and dogs as well as cats could be affected. The food was/is sold in stores such as Kroger Company, Safeway Inc., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., PetSmart and others. It doesn’t say whether or not the food is store label, private label or their own label. Pet owners should definitely check their pets food, and consult their vet as needed.
