Menu Foods, the Canadian-based company that produced the pet food, said Saturday that it was recalling dog food sold under 48 brands and cat food sold under 40 brands including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. The food was distributed throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico by major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kroger, Safeway and PetSmart.
An unknown number of cats and dogs had suffered kidney failure, and about 10 died after eating the affected pet food, the company said.
On Saturday night, Nestle Purina PetCare Co. and Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. announced that as a precaution they were voluntarily recalling some products made by Menu Foods.
Many stores that sold the affected brands quickly pulled packages off shelves.
The recall covers a style of food the company calls "cuts and gravy," which consists of chunks of meat in gravy, sold in cans and small foil pouches from Dec. 3 to March 6.

The company also designated two phone numbers to call for information — (866) 463-6738 and (866) 895-2708 — but pet owners kept the lines busy for much of Saturday. |
