Is Wellness Cat Food Ok? Need answers asap!

I'm feeding my Foster cat Wellness Lifestages I think... though it might be from before December... would that make a difference?

Dry food is SAFE as Menu doesnt make it and thus cross contamination is a non issue ...

Welcat was very sweet and said shell answer my pm on thurs

Good... I was getting worried about that.

thanks.

I am waiting if I can tell the actual plants ... But
Welcat was nice enough to PM me back... THEY DONT use the Kansas plant .... and no glutens at all so it should be safe ... I have to make some wellness cookies now

LOL! That is good to know! Im going to hold off since I have a case of felidae that is going to be around for awhile!

Click to expand...

with the issues you had //// i would suggest alternating them .. kandie doesnt eat the same food two days in a row

True but that is going to have to wait! I have 2 bags of Nutro dry left, cans of felidae, just bought them no furniture and Im moving in two weeks and have to come up with some mula. She will have to adjust a little and then I will rotate them more often! Not trying to be mean or uncaring but I spend so much money on my buggers that i need to chill a little bit!

UPDATE>>>>

Normally I keep PMs private but this is important

Many cat owners want to know ... and info is scarce

I personally want to know cause my animals like some of the wellness canned and want to know

Hi,

We do use Menu Canada and Menu New Jersey. We do not use the Kansas plant.

We perform batch testing on all of our products and we do not use any Wheat (gluten or othewise) in any Wellness products.

Let me know if I can do anything else!

Thank you ... May I post this ??

Hi,

Feel Free to post it!

I would also like to add that we have procedures in place to clean between each run of food that is produced. We also inspect the plant regularly to audit their procedures. Since we take our quality very seriously we go above and beyond what is expected in the industry. We are happy to tell you that we require our facilities to pass an audit by Cook & Thurber, a HUMAN FOOD auditing firm. They have a great website that explains what they do and their strict requirements. They can be found at http://www.nsf.org/business/NSF_cook...gram=NSFCooThu

Dr. Sundlof of the FDA said (in a press conference)thet the Melamine that was found in the Wheat Gluten was in a Very high concentration (6.6%).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

needless to say I will by Wellness

Thats comforting! Im sure its fine. I gave Nollee canned Wellness after the recall (the beginning of the recall) when it was stated that Wellness was not affected!

I just picked up some grain free Wellness for Kandie to try .... Gigi wil also be having some 95% meat cookies ( canned food cooked )... she is loveing the new jerky ( no grains )

This is what I've been feeding my foster cat.

She really likes it too. probably better for her than the Science Diet she was on. Might start buying it for my boys.

that is a real relief for me. wellness is back on the menu again.

I know I like Wellness! So do the kitties!

I was feeding Wellness before the recall. After finding out Wellness does buiness with menu I switched to chicken soup for the cat lovers soul. I emailed them and asked about them doing business with menu. They didn't go into detail like they did with you. I don't think I'll feed the Wellness I have. Not until all of this stuff is over with.

Im holding off on Wellness for awhile just in case! Right now Im feeding felidae!

I will not buy Wellness, nor any other food made by Menu or those companies associated with Menu. Firstly, because the recall continues to grow and the method of contamination has still not been identified - until it is, my furkids are safer (and I'll sleep better) with other foods.

And secondly, because Menu Foods, Iams, Nutro, etc. have spent, and continue to spend, lots of time and effort protecting their assets and not nearly enough on getting the toxic food out of our homes and off retailer's shelves. We'll never know how many furkids died as a direct result of the self-serving priorities of these executives.

That mindset MUST change. One of the most effective avenues for the public to affect such a change is to spend our money elsewhere. Emails, calls and letters to representatives and other government officials, as well as to executives of the companies in question, can also apply pressure. Enough pressure and change WILL happen.

It is horribly tragic that a deadly toxin got into our pets' food supply and killed our furkids, it is heinously and shockingly criminal that additional companions died for the sake of money. In memory of those furkids, I will never support Menu or its partners again.

Preach on! Thats why I have the cats on felidae due to TCS member recommendations! They still eat Wellness Dry!

I hope NO humans are eating wheat gluten as the FDA was looking for this tainted stuff in our food supply( the tainted wheat gluten WAS HUMAN grade not feed)... Common items with wheat gluten : Bread Pizza dough

LOL nice I just had pizza!

I hope it didnt but the fact the FDA claimed they COULDnt find it scares me
