PET FOOD RECALL UPDATE: CONTAMINANTS IN ADDITION TO RAT POISON MAY BE
INVOLVED
Since the massive pet food recall on March 16, the ASPCA Animal Poison
Control Center has been flooded with calls from pet parents and animal
professionals alike. Based on data we’ve collected, clinical signs in cats
affected by the contaminated foods are not fully consistent with the
ingestion of rat poison—suggesting that additional contaminants may be
involved.
