Four dozen major brands of canned dog and cat food are being recalled after 10 dogs died of kidney failure, countless other dogs and cats have been affected as well.

Menu Foods, the Ontario, Canada-based company that produced the pet food, said Saturday it was recalling dog food sold throughout North America under 48 brands and cat food sold under 40 brands including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba. The food was distributed by major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Kroger and Safeway.

Please also note that there is a possibility that some of these brands made it to pet stores, Nutro usually is only available at pet stores and not the big box stores or grocery stores.

A complete list of the recalled products along with product codes, descriptions and production dates was available from the Menu Foods Web site, http://www.menufoods.com/recall. The company also designated two phone numbers that pet owners could call for information – (866) 463-6738 and (866) 895-2708 – but callers kept the lines busy for much of Saturday.
