Pet Foods Contaminated With Melamine, Natural Balance Foods Affected

Additional melamine-tainted pet foods have been found. These foods contained rice protein with melamine and affected Natural Balanced dog and cat foods. So, check your pet’s food and ensure that wheat gluten and rice protein are not on the ingredients list.

You’ll notice that the smaller companies making premium food have not appeared on the recall list. This suggests we’re safer using food from these companies, such as Azmira. These companies tend to use protein from meat and fish, which is more easily absorbed by your pet than plant protein. It’s not a blessing to have partial grain ingredients, such as rice protein, wheat gluten, rice flour, corn meal in pet foods. Pets do best with meat, vegetables, fruit, and small amounts of whole grain.

And, as always, the best food is homemade. If you can feed yourself and your children well, you can feed your pets.
