Pet foor recall ALET: Royal Canin Recalls several Varieties?

My cat has been on the Royal Canin Hypoallergenic HP23 diet exclusively for several years. She was diagnosed with renal failure in February. My heart goes out to all the pets and their families who are suffering due to the outsourcing of the food supply.

THANK YOU for posting this. I am sure there will be more to come. Wilbur-Ellis distributed the contaminated rice product to five major dog food producing plants and at least a few brands have been having their food tested to get official word that YES it contains melamine in the rice product before recalling. Natural Balance recalled first, now Royal Canin. I am sure this is not the END but I sure wish it was. I feed my dog's Nature's recipe and haven't had a problem, but I am still considering a homemade diet, partial raw because I just don't trust any dog food company at this point. Once the food is mass produced there is just too great a margin for error and too little regulation. The recalls used to be quieter but now consumers are wise and better informed. Not only that, but people are learning what goes into the mix and that regardless of how "premium" a dog food it, there is a chance that there are products that go into cheap foods, and are the same products that go into the expensive ones. Yes, the different foods can have their own formula and exclusions. The Nature's Recipe does not have wheat, corn or soy. But it does have rice. It does not have brown rice though, so it may not be affected. We shall see.

In South Africa They have also recalled Maine Coon 31, in case there are any other South Africans out there also using it. I hope no one Else's cats are as fussy as my MC, who won't eat any other dry food. Fortunately, I have been going to the same vet for 16 years,and as soon as he heard about the recall, he let me know that he had one last bag from the previous , non contaminated, batch for me. I hope no ones cats will be affected by this food.

I was feeding my lab royal canin for lab breeds. I stopped feeding him it 2 months ago. Is this one of the recalled??

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. So far, thank God, none of my babies have been affected by the recall.
