The FDA and Menu said the suspect wheat gluten came from a Chinese supplier, which was not identified.<br /><br />Menu recalled certain batches of wet pet food in mid-March after the products were blamed for the deaths of at least 14 animals -- mostly cats.<br /><br />The FDA, which is continuing its investigation, found that wheat gluten from the same company that supplied Menu Foods was used to make the Hill's product, the first time a dry food had been implicated.<br /><br />Hill's, a unit of Colgate-Palmolive Co. based in Topeka, Kansas, has voluntarily recalled the product sold through veterinarians. The company confirmed the recall in a statement.<br /><br />Separately, Nestle Purina PetCare Co. announced in a statement it was voluntarily recalling all sizes and varieties of its ALPO Prime Cuts in Gravy wet dog food with specific date codes.<br /><br />Nestle Purina, based in St. Louis, said it learned on Friday that "some quantity" of wheat gluten from the same supply company linked to Menu and Hill's was used on a limited basis at one of its facilities.<br /><br />No Purina brand dry pet foods were affected by the recall.<br />--Mowpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16963413235017443688noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656238567940210421.post-78074429473504560622007-03-30T00:59:00.000-07:002007-03-30T01:08:20.087-07:00Time to teach your pups new tricksLike the Heimlich?

It's pretty shocking what happens to animals in this country!<br />First they beat them, now they're eating them! <br />My advice: Keep your pets on a tight leash, or better yet, keep them in your house...and let them sleep on your bed.<br />Mowgli and Peanut believe that they're much safer in an air-cond room, far away from potential dog eaters.<br />Read on:<br /><br /><br />Cross-country: Lodge reports if pets go missing<br />27 Feb 2007<br />Lau Meisan <br /><br />JOHOR BARU: Owners of missing pet cats and dogs should lodge reports with the police and Veterinary Services Department to enable claims that foreign workers had caught and eaten the animals, be investigated.<br /><br />Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Johor Baru vice-president Jacqualine Gomez said if the allegations were found to be true, action would be taken against the workers.<br />Offenders could be charged under the Animal Ordinance 1953, which provides for a maximum fine of RM200 or a jail term not exceeding six months.<br />Gomez said some residents in Taman Seri Bahagia, though claiming to have seen foreign workers trying to catch their pets, had refused to lodge reports.<br />"Some said it was too troublesome and the police might just brush aside the matter as it involved only animals." <br />It would be good if anyone could provide the society with video recordings or clips of the animal thefts, she added.<br />"Swift action can help save other animals from suffering the same fate."<br />Pets and stray animals in Taman Kota Masai and Taman Seri Bahagia had gone missing over the past few months.<br />Residents are keeping their pets off the street as rumours have been going around that drug addicts are selling them to foreign workers at RM5 per head.<br />There were claims that the foreign workers ate the animals, and some owners said they found the skins of their pets in rubbish bins.Mowpeahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16963413235017443688noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4656238567940210421.post-55562759854305627892007-02-24T23:58:00.000-08:002007-02-25T19:00:37.685-08:00I've been taggedThree things that scare me:<br /> 1.
