Nutro Products is recalling some of its dry cat food.

The voluntary recall includes several varieties of Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care and Nutro Max dry cat foods with "best If used by" dates between May 12, 2010 and August 22, 2010. It does not include canned cat food or any Nutro dog food.

The cat foods were distributed to stores in all 50 states, as well as in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere.

Nutro Products, one of the largest pet food manufacturers in the U.S., announced the recall on Thursday after finding a mistake made by its U.S. supplier of mineral premixes. Apparently, two premix batches didn't have enough potassium, and one of those batches had too much zinc.

If you're using one of the recalled products, Nutro advises you stop immediately. While the company says it hasn't received any complaints, it asks that cat owners monitor their cats for symptoms including loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting or diarrhea.

Unused dry food portions may be returned to your retailer for a full refund or exchange.

For more information on this recall, contact Nutro Products at 1-800-833-5330, or visit www.nutroproducts.com.

That's why I only buy my cats Life's Abundance cat food http://cli.gs/LifesAbundance . I know it is human quality holistic food made in small batches domestically, and shipped directly to my house. I know that it is made in a USDA certified APHIS plant out of the finest ingredients available. I never even think about recalls and my cats deserve the best.

I really have a hard time when it comes to dog/cat foods. Knowing that most contain byproducts is just disgusting. If you wouldn't eat it, why feed it to your pet. Sure our pets are animals, but dont they deserve healthy food too? If they were to be in the wild they would be eating mostly fresh meat, guts, fruits, veggies, etc...

For this reason, I choose to feed Steve's ...See my blog for product information (left side margin).

I want my animals to be healthy. I want them to get quality food without the worries.

It may not be cheap now, but missing the headache of a HUGE vet bill and not watching my four legged friend suffer is definitely worth it!
