	I also read in my local news that the company had run tests on animals in their labs( ) and they had animals die then too. I can't believe that this has taken so long to get out

	Ok...It took me a while to hear this story. I have fed medea Iams from the time she was a puppy. Please tell me that this is only the wet food. Please PM me and let me know. So far all I have heard is wet food, before I totally start to freak out. Let me know asap. Its really late here and I just heard it on the late late news. I feed her Iams chunks (a dry food). I will feel guilty about all the animal testing later, I just hope I didnt make a huge mistake.

	10 deaths reported is just the tip of the iceberg. Renal failure is a death sentence. Sure, your pup can live 4, 6 ,8 months after diagnosis, but only with special food and lots of vet care. We lost our HoneyBunny to CRF, and now we are concerned that Winston, who ate 2 cans of the Nutro Ultra Weight Management daily, may have kidney damage. Please keep all the pups and kitties in your prayers...this may be a very, very rough year for the Dogster and Catster community.

	Newman, you are correct...Menu Foods was aware of the problem as far back as Feb. 20...They then tested the food on live animals resulting in many deaths before they released the info. to us!! http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chicago/chi-0703200 210mar20,1,4757597.story?coll=chi-newslocalchicago-hed

	A note about Royal Canin - The fact that it uses chicken meal is not a bad thing; the word meal means that the meat used is dehydrated before inclusion (rather than chicken which would be the hydrated meat). Most (if not all) ultra-premium dog foods use a meal of some sort. The thing you want to look for is some sort of byproduct meal - it's the byproducts that are icky and unhealthy, poor sources of protein. The ingredients that I'm not fond of in the Royal Canin are the corn gluten and the rice hulls. The latter is just a filler (and was not in the original formulas!) and, due to that ingredient alone, I will never feed or suggest the non-breed specific Royal Canins again. Do note, however, that the breed-specific foods do not have rice hulls in them.

	Pippin, you are wrong. The company began receiving reports of illness from scared pet owners as far back as DECEMBER 2006. They ignored the complaints of the pet owners and took no action. It wasn't until one of Menu Foods contract companies (probably Procter and Gambel/Iams/Eukanuba), who had themselves begun getting complaints, put all future orders from Menu Foods on hold and inititiated their own recall -- THEN is when Menu Foods took action and began performing the in-house tests. It should also be noted that the "10 deaths" Menu Foods is saying have been reported are the deaths of the TEST ANIMALS from their in-house test. Menu Foods is deliberately stating that only 10 deaths have thus far reported to the U.S. media without any qualification in order to paint a dishonest picture to the public that this whole tragedy is small in scale. Not true. Reports are flooding in to the FDA, to petconnection.com's online database and to me and others by email. Take a look at the local news reports coming from all parts of the country and you will see mention of one incident after another of people whose pets have been made ill or died. The mortality rate determined by the MF's feeding test is between 14 - 25%. Considering the hundreds of thousands--possibly millions--of food units sold during the three months in which Menu Foods did nothing, that equates to a STAGGERING number of potential adverse reactions and deaths. The FDA says this number is expected to be in the THOUSANDS.

	I suspected we were nowhere near the truth yet, your post is frightening confirmation, alone on our local news today they were reporting on two dogs who it was suspected became sick from one of the recalled foods.
