Warning For Pet Owners: Huge Recall on Dog & Cat Food

Updated:

A warning out there for pet owners: a dog food company is recalling 60-million containers of wet dog and cat food.

"Menu Foods," producers of "Iams" says it has received reports of cats and dogs suffering kidney failure after eating the food. Menu Foods supplies pet food to major stores like Wal-Mart, PetSmart, and other retailers.

The recall covers its "Cuts and Gravy" style food, sold between early-December and March. The food comes in cans and small foil pouches. It consists of chunks of meat in gravy.

The company says it is not sure what happened, and product testing has not revealed a link that would explain the illnesses and deaths.

Menu Foods did not immediately provide a full list of brand names and LOT numbers covered by the recall, but says the information will be on the company's website, www.menufoods.com/recall, Saturday morning.

About 10 animals have died from the contaminated product.
