I'm not trying to be all confronational here, so don't get me wrong....

However,

According to the menu foods site, they did recall several Eukanuba products.

Here's the link:

IAMS

It may be that your product was not among those being recalled, however, it comes down to whether or not you trust Menu Foods, or Eukanuba. (I wouldn't.)

As I said before, there are only 3 or 4 companies that actually make pet food - they just put it in different bags. (Sort of like Whirlpool makes pretty much every appliance in North America - just slaps different names on them.)

Kibble is very bad for cats because cats do not have a well developed sense to drink water (being desert animals.) They rely on their food for their moisture. Normally, food is about 65% water. Kibble is about 7% water. So the result is allot of chronically dehydrated cats which results in Kidney Failure. (So common among cats now.)

Getting back to dogs - you could try an experiment. Feed your dog a BARF like diet (you can find them on the net) for a week or two. Watch how much he shits (sorry to be frank). You will find that when he eats kibble, most of it goes right out his ass because it's all crud. (So a friend of mine who switched to a healthy alternative dog diet over kibble told me.)

Anyway, my position is based on discussions I've had with my Vet who has convinced me. I've got an 18 year old cat sleeping in the next room that was supposed to be dead 5 years ago from CRF.

My Holistic Vet is a real vet, board certified, just she refuses to sell Gourmet Vet Pet Food. She says she could make allot of money selling processed crud for animals, but she wouldn't feel right about because she knows what it's all about. Same goes for drugs. She never pushes drugs. Immunizes the animal once and that's it. (Some Vets try to tell you you need to have your pet immunized every couple of years. She tells me that's bullshit as well.)
