(Other brands will be added soon... in the meantime make sure to check http://www.menufoods.com/recall/ for brands not yet listed here.)

i get a 404 not found error for the pdf

Kim-I am concerned that some people will not understand what National Brands means and will think they are home free if their for instance Special Kitty is not on the list. (Special Kitty to some is a National Brand because it is sold at Walmart). Could you add a warning that close to 100 other brands of cat and dog food products are included on the original recall list and should be checked even if the pets food is not on Pet Food Tracker?

Opens fine with my Mac, using default PDF viewer (Preview). I avoid Adobe junk...

Excellent point Shawn, I'll do that right away. Thanks for the feedback!

Anyone still having a problem with the pdf? I'll add a link to download Adobe later today.

And I'll also use an additional pdf creator to see if that fixes the 'garbled' problem without having to download the newest Adobe Reader, because I know that can be a pin.

On the 404 error - I got lots of those yesterday on all different sites, but no problems yet today. So let me know if that happens again.

For right now this is a low budget effort so I'm using free pdf creators and free hosting, so please bear with me while I work out the kinks...

Thanks for the Mac Preview info, you posted while I was typing my last comment!

Hi Kim,

Thanks so much for compiling this easily readable list -- taking it along to a store is a terrific idea. I looked on several sites of the pet food companies and some did not have a way to easily print or view their lists. I suggest anyone with an older relative or neighbor with a pet please print an extra copy in large print for them. I shudder to think of how many elderly people with pets are not getting this information delivered to them should they not have internet access. The TV coverage on this is woefully lacking in my opinion.

Thanks again for this service you are providing. It is really invaluable.

I have a beautiful 5 year old standard poodle that is my only child. Right now he is in the 24 hour emergency vet with renal failure and every symptom of poisioning. this is the second vet attending and noboby wants to say the poison word, Nothing he has eaten reacently is on the list but please someone tell me what does it take to get on the list. Does he have to die...........I have a product made in China and packaged out of new jersey , he ate another two products dry and canned that they say only the pouch is contaminated, this is so fustrating, heartbreaking, and costing 2,500.00 so far and he's had three days of treatment
