I about had a heart attack when I heard that Iams and Eukanuba foods were also affected (they weren't on the list when I had first looked - they were added later). I bought a bag of dry Eukanuba for the dogs yesterday and had already fed some to our dogs by the time I heard it on the evening news (I know, only "wet" food was affected, but I really prefer to play it safe).
After consulting Eukanuba's website this morning, I feel much better. They explained that the dry food is not manufactured by Menu Foods. The dogs' canned food is Kibbles and Bits, so we're okay there.
The cats, fortunately, prefer Purina One dry food and Friskies canned food, so they are okay (and cheaper to feed). Lastly, the food I get for leaving in the cathouse is 9 Lives, so any other cats that come over for a free meal are all set.
Hmmm...until you mentioned "IAMS", I didn't recall that the piece on the radio listed brands; but, I do recall their listing that one--no doubt because of the pronunciation that they used (which may be correct, for all I know--just not how I think of it.)
Thanks for considering the effect of your feeding habits on the visiting cats. I like that thoughtfulness!

Hmm, how did they pronounce it - I've always pronounced it "I'ms" (and that is all I ever recall hearing it said)

Is 9 lives on list or is my little tom okay?

I feed my 2 cats Purina dry food and
Friskies wet food. Sometimes they eat
Meow Mix in the pouches. Are they in
danger?
