We just wanted to let everyone know that The Pet Cabaret does NOT carry any of the foods, manufactured by Menu Foods Inc, now involved in the pet food recall.
We are deeply sorry for those who may have suffered any losses as a result of this tragedy.
Right now it seems as though contaminated wheat gluten may be the culprit in this story. Wheat gluten is a non-meat substance used to boost the protein content of foods. The contamination causes toxic reactions and acute renal failure characterized by excessive thirst, fatigue, extreme panting, vomiting, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. If caught quickly the dog or cat may be saved with aggressive treatment, however, if untreated it is fatal. Acute renal failure differs from chronic renal failure in that it progresses very rapidly. If you suspect your animal has eaten any of the foods listed on the included website, or if they exhibit any of the aforementioned physical signs, please consult your veterinarian immediately.
Please know that The Pet Cabaret has made a commitment to sell high quality foods and supplements that build and maintain the health of your companion animals. We try to do business with companies that are forthcoming with information regarding their products and procedures. Please let us know if we can assist you in any way with information regarding this recall or on the general health and well-being of your animal pals.
