Pet Lover's Alert!!!!

Contaminated Dog & Cat food sold in Rhode Island

Be aware that contaminated pet food was sold and recalled. The food causes serious liver damage and the animal deaths are expected to rise into the hundreds.

I’ve been following the case for a week and I just now found the names of the products and verified that they are sold in Rhode Island.

Below is the list of contaminated products and a link to the MSNBC story on which I found the information.
