A sad day in our house...

I just feel compelled to share this information so no one goes thru the day I've just had.... For anyone using Nutro food for your dogs or cats PLEASE research it and/or switch their foods.... We have been having issues with our male cat not wanting to eat so we tried a different food (we had been using Nutro complete cat from the commisary) he seemed to be getting better so we weren't worrying....last night he came out of hiding (we've had company) and his eyes were watery, hair was falling out and he was SUPER thin...to make a long, heartbeaking story short - we had to have him put to sleep today.
Last week I had heard about another cat food recall from Nutro (including the kind we had used)and the vet couldn't say for sure but he felt that this could have very well been caused from this food. Now that I am researching it, I am horrified that we've been using this food and will be switching our other cat and dog off of it ASAP. I have used this food since I was living at home with my parents and it has always been a great food but recently there are hundreds of stories online just like mine...so to anyone I've ever refered to this food...please stop and try something else! There is no proof that this is what made Kaladi so sick but it's so worth buying a new bag of food...I wish we would have known!

Our house feels so empty...

Again, I am so sorry to hear about this...pets are so much like family to most of us and it is a big loss! I'm sure the girls are sad, too, which makes it even harder on you. It has brought your awareness to what you feed the other furry family members and maybe you are saving their lives now as well! My heart goes out to you guys b/c you take such great care of your pets!!!
