Dear Valued PetSmart customer:
As you have probably heard, Menu Foods, a national
manufacturer of pet foods, issued a voluntary recall of
canned and pouched wet dog and cat food manufactured in two
of its facilities between December 2006 and March 2007.
Again, this is a recall of a specific type of wet pet food
made by Menu Foods. Other wet pet foods and all dry pet food
and treats are not impacted by this recall.
Menu Foods initiated the recall after receiving reports that
some of its foods may be the cause of reported illnesses and
kidney failure in dogs and cats. Menu Foods distributes
these products to supermarkets, mass merchandisers and pet
specialty stores, including PetSmart(R), under a variety of
brand names.
Go here to see a complete list of PetSmart products that
are part of the recall, as well as their respective UPCs
(also referred to as the bar code).
http://l.petsmart-mail.com/l/r/04P88ZgX07wKq02HkX
The bar code can be found on the product label; the UPC is
under the series of bars. As a reminder, the items listed
are the only items that PetSmart carries that have been
affected by the recall.
In the meantime, we have pulled all recalled products from
our store shelves and have a process in place to help ensure
they're not restocked or distributed in any way.
If you have purchased any of the recalled items, you should
discontinue use immediately. We recommend you contact your
vet if you have any concerns that your pet may have been
affected. Symptoms may include:
1. Vomiting (this is usually the first sign)
2. Refusal to eat
3. Fatigue
4. Abnormal increase in water consumption
5. Abnormal increase in urination
If you're interested in finding out more about what kinds of
tests vets recommend to make a diagnosis, go here:

Additionally, if you are looking for a recommendation for
your unique pet food needs, please visit our Smart Nutrition
Selector on our website:
http://l.petsmart-mail.com/l/r/04388ZgX0mwKq04zR3
Or, if you need additional assistance while in the store,
feel free to ask an associate. If you know of any other pet
parents that are in search of more information, please share
this with them.
If you have food that is a part of the recall, you can bring
it back to PetSmart for a complete refund. Or, we'll
exchange your items with any dry food or alternative canned
or foiled pouched wet foods that we have in stock.
Please remember, this recall affects only specific wet pet
food items. All dry pet food and treats are not impacted by
this recall.
