“A committee of the House of Representatives is holding a food safety hearing Tuesday and is expected to discuss the pet food recall”.

Does anyone know what committee and who is on that committee? I have been unable to locate that information. I want to convey my concerns to the representatives on the committee.

The folks at Nutro say their dry food wasn't affected; the raw materials come from somewhere else. But the melamine keeps appearing in an ever-growing list of recalls. I would also suggest you consult the FDA's website for infomation from that agency's point of view. I hope your pet is doing OK. But again, if you notice any signs at all -- lethargy, vomiting, lack of appetite, changes in bowel or bladder habits -- get the animal to your vet immediately. God Bless, and thanks for checking in. John,

Lisa, I am sorry about your friend's pet. I can't imagine watching my pet pass away because of somebody else's negligence or spiteful, hateful action. I have three dogs-Belle, Bob and Harley. I feed my pets Nutro pet food as well. Bob and Harley are fine, but Belle has been really sick the last few days. I saw the symptoms listed on your posting, and about freaked out. I took Belle to the vet this morning, and of course, the first question was, "What brand of food do you feed your pets?" I mentioned the Nutro dry. She told me that the only products associated with the recall are the canned and pouched food. I looked at Nutro's website and found this to be true. Anyway, Belle's blood work came back okay, so hopefully she will be fine. I sure hope I can get her to eat something today. Thanks for listening. Hello,
