“The problem in this case is that we believe no one actually knows (or at least has published) the effects of 2100 ppm dietary zinc long-term in cats,” Dr. Hansen said.

I have posted this info on nearly every forum, blog and community I'm a member of... and will post to the remaining by the end of this week.

Get the word out, folks! Not just in reference these particular tests, but about the whole shocking body of knowledge this board has uncovered in the last two years. The PFI's don't want the public to know, but hundreds of thousands of pet lives are dependent on foods their owners think are far, far healthier than is the case.

Just some clips from the new Consumer Affairs article in case people havent had time to read it.

“The concentration of zinc identified in this report of 2100 ppm is very high,” said Dr. Stephen Hansen, a veterinary toxicologist and senior vice-president of Animal Health for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). “That zinc level jumps off the page. It is awfully high and does concern us. It’s certainly gotten our attention.”

“But it’s certainly possible that those levels of zinc would likely cause health problems in cats that could involve significant intestinal upset and liver and kidney damage.”

In the meantime, Dr. Hansen said the lab results on NUTRO’s recalled cat food should be brought to the attention of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ConsumerAffairs.com sent a copy of the test results to the FDA’s Center For Veterinary Medicine today (Thursday).

I would like to know when and if they are going to change their website and put out an amended newswire to say cats have been affected by this food? Huh

I want to say "thank you" again to all the people who are posting this on blogs and forums, on Twitter, and calling or emailing news services. Everyone who reads this can tell at least one fellow pet owner in person-Perhaps start a conversation with a co-worker by saying, "Did you hear about the Nutro cat food?" Email your relatives and friends, tell them to tell others.

Remember, Nutro is trying to hide it--it's up to us to let people know how much zinc was in that food!
