I am so sorry to hear of your losses, that is truly awful.

We went through our cans of Iams for our cat and dog, and came across 2 cans of unopened dog food that matched the UPC codes for the recalled pet food. My cat, who is 20 did not have any of the the recalled food, I worried because of her age. I have been keeping an eye on our dog, who does not seem tired or to be drinking more water. Does anyone have any idea how long it took for the effect of the contaminated food to make the animials sick?

Another cat owner here.I have used Iams exclusively for 10 years.Fortunately,the style I buy is not on the list but my cat has seen a definate decline in health the past few years.I now have to wonder about what I've been feeding her all this time.Sorry to hear of the loss and illnesses of your pets.We sure do get attached to those critters,don't we?

Losing a pet can be as bad as losing a family member. The circumstances make this even worse as we see how easily it could be human food and how many "brands" are really the same product (basically) made in the same place. Its like I always tell my kids, Wal Mart doesn't have a cat and dog food factory in China, so it all has to come from somewhere. Best of luck to everyone and now I've gotta rush home and see if the dogs OK. The cat wasn't to start with.....
