I found out today that my dog's food has been recalled due to melamine contamination in the rice protein concentrate added to the food.

If you feed your dog or cat Dick VanPatten's Natural Balance, check here to see if the particular blend they are eating is in the recall. Not all of the product lines are contaminated. I've switched Jefe from the venison food to the fish.

I don't know how many other pet food brands have been affected. The best thing is for everyone to go online to their pet's food's homepage and see if their food has been recalled. The result of melamine poisioning is liver failure. If your pet has been eating one of the recalled foods and shows signs of *loss of appetite, lethargy, and vomiting* remove the food, make sure the animal has lots of water available, call your vet, save the food and contact the pet food company for instructions. They'll want to test the food.
