Is Menu’s Dry Food Tainted as Well?
There have been many questions (and fears) that the tainted Menu food goes beyond the wet and could include their dry food as well. Many of you have reported cases that seem to be linked. You are not alone.
Why is the mainstream media NOT paying attention? Oh, there’s some articles out there here and there, all claiming that the poison has only affected a few pets. But if you’ve been reading all the reports just here at this one blog, you’ve noticed there seems to be many, many more pets involved. And the ONLY thing that has been clear all along is that Menu knew more than it wanted to admit!
Now all the dirty big secrets are coming out! And the betrayal by Menu and any other company involved seems to be MUCH BIGGER than the news outlets want to say.
Why? Of course, the media may be acting responsibly to try to avoid panic. On the other hand, is it possible that the media does not want us to really consider what this tainted Chinese wheat means to ALL of us, not just the pet parents now mourning their furbabies?
How far has this tainted imported Chinese wheat entered the food system for ALL of us? If this poisoned food is in the dry dog food, what does that suggest about how far it might have entered into the human food streams? Are their humans in the US and Canada who have been poisoned as well?
Moreover, why are we allowing food products to enter the US and Canada from a country with a proven track record of NOT living up to our standards for food? DO we have a collective death wish? And if you think wheat is the only edible product coming into North America from China, look again. The only answer is because those Menu Food corporate executives in charge of buying the ingredients for the foods you and I feed our furbabies are more concerned with their pockets than our pets’, or our, health!
Thanks to Liz M., Cody’s furmom, for the following information.
PLEASE CROSSPOST!
It’s not just about wet food anymore…
The first item is about Nutro dry… after that you will see three links: the first to a very good Recall site… the next is regarding IAMS dry… the last is about the recall and discussion among many about their pet food experiences.
Thank you,

Hello everyone,I hope you are enjoying this nice day….I just wanted to give you a little more info on the food recall.
I was feeding Nutro Max small bites (DRY) to my 3 Aussies and 1 Corgi. For the last 3 weeks on and off all 4 dogs have vomited yellow bile. I did not think much of it because it was on and off…maybe they were eating snow…whatever. Then the recall…only wet?
My brother called me on Sunday on the way back from the Rescue show and his 10 yr old Sheltie spayed bitch was vomiting bile on and off for a few days and now has blood in her urine. They brought in a UA and dog is being treated for a UA infection.
Yesterday he called me and his male-13 month old German Shepherd has blood in its urine…guess what…feeding DRY Nutro Max. Another UA to vets. No infection.
The dispatcher at the police department where I work over heard me
talking to my brother…she has 2 mixes on Nutro Ultra DRY…they have been vomiting bile on and off for about 4 weeks.A women in my obedience class…her mother has a Terrier on Nutro All Natural DRY…dog is being treated for blood in urine.
The dispatcher called the FDA today and spoke with Bill Boiven (Spelling) at 781-596-7783. She gave him all our info and he contacted me. Guess what!!! They have already started to launch an investigation on the dry dog food. They are getting millions of phone calls about this. He did tell me that the foods are processed by 2 different manufactures but this is way to coincidental.
Yes I have now put my dogs on boiled rice, hamburger and Wellness. Just thought some of you might want to know and maybe call if you are having problems. Seems to be more wide spread than wet or canned.
Thanks

SEVERAL UNCONFIRMED REPORTS OF IAMS DRY FOOD CAUSING ILLNESS
Hi all, this is the itchmo writer. We will be releasing our tally of dry food reports by Wednesday morning on http://www.itchmo.com. We have been gathering a steady stream of parents’ reports over the weekend.
Since we know where this tainted wheat came from wouldn’t the next step be to see where else that wheat went to after it left the factory in China?
On another note: I currently feed my crew Nutro Ultra Puppy and Nutro Natural Choice Large Breed dry kibble. I have had no issues thus far with any of my dogs. Menu foods only produces moist food for Nutro. All of their dry kibble is produced in two Nutro factories. There is always a chance that they could have used wheat from the same supplier as Menu foods, however I am pretty sure that they have already made sure that that was not the case. But you never know!
**I plan on chaning to a grain free diet as soon as I run out of my kibble.***
I have been very worried about the dry food myself and took my pets off of any product (wet or dry) that might have come through Menu Foods, but really, we don’t know where ANY food, whether it be pet or human food is coming from. What countries do they buy their ingredients from? It’s all very frightening.
Menu Foods does NOT produce any dry pet foods. Strictly Wet Foods ONLY!
Yes, I agree with u.
Here also you can find valuable information about dog food and their secrets:

The Nutro Max kibble has been making my greyhound sick. I’m gonna stay away from the commercial stuff for now and make some old school chicken and rice.
No wonder that crap was on sale!—Darby
I am apalled and horrified that our Country would allow this to happen! Poison from China in our beloved pets’ food and what about us, our food? I rescue dogs and have 8 of my own. I have been feeding them Nutro Ultra and recommend it to all of my adopters. Now I am not so sure….most likely making my own dog food will be the only way to be sure. But of course we can’t use spinich (that was tainted), can’t use any type of wheat (that was tainted) - what next? The United States better look into this nonsense of allowing companies to import GARBAGE from other countries to put into OUR food supply….and if they don’t - then something smells fishy to me!
Why does any of this surprise you?
Men will always feed his insatiable greed before all else.
Man’s Insatiable Greed will first destroy all components of the Animal Kingdom, save the man.
Then Man’s Insatiable Greed will destroy all organic components of the Earth itself, save the man .
Thankfully, to put us out of our miserable existence, Man’s Insatiable Greed will then destroy the man himself.
I’m not sure of what’s going to happen to myself, let alone my two best friend Goldens, but I do know one thing for sure:
We’re doomed. Yeah, you can call me Chicken Little, but the writing’s on the wall. Call me what you will.
Maybe not today or tomorrow, but given time, greed will entirely wipe out ‘civilization’ (I use this term loosely).
The pet food poisoning by the new Empire of China is just another pitiful example of a pitiful and simple species - homo sapiens. We are pathetic…regardless of race, color, creed, or flag.
Just useless.
Sigh.
Farm animals are fed dry foods too. Milk cows are fed dry feeds. Other pet foods are also dry. I feel this an attack on our food supply by China! Nutro will not disclose the source of their wheat gluten. I contacted Greenies, who have confirmed that their wheat gluten was from the USA.
I don’t believe anything “they” say anymore. One recall after another and that includes treats. The companies are pulling stock because they either do have a problem or think they might or want to get away from anything that might cause them damage in the long run. Me? I use home-made food and have for years - thank doG! There’s awful information on some sites. I belong to K9Kitchen at yahhogroups.com where they have excellent information and have both of her books. http://monicasegal.com if it helps anyone.
I have been feeding my little Boston Terrier the Nutro Sensetive Stomach formula and she’s had blood in her urine twice now after exercising hard at the dog park.. This has only occured the two times in the past 2 months I took her to the park to run and play.. I’ve now pulled her off the dry food. There are too many reports like this if you search the internet… TONS of dogs are getting sick off Nutro dry!! Google it yourself! It’s insane that they aren’t admitting anything yet… Maybe it’s not bad enough to KILL the dog but clearly there is something at work in the food.. Again, google it and you will see hundreds of other reports like mine here.. The FDA says only 15,000 reports of sick dogs and only 17 deaths but I say that is BS!!! I’ve seen hundreds of posts about dead and sick dogs, all with kidney failure or unexpected blood in the urine.
Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! mtevmiruko
