Hill's Science Diet/Prescription Diet Dog Food Recall Expanded
Hill's Pet Nutrition has expanded its HUGE recall of Science Diet and Prescription Diet canned dog foods.

Canned dog foods only- so far

NO dry foods, cat foods or pet treats are part of this recall.

The complete list of recalls at this link:

This is bad...

"In the wake of this recall, we're learning that possibly hundreds of dogs have died. This is heartbreaking news. Here's what we have learned from some of those who have lost their precious pets"

I won't be able to monitor this thread so please "bump" it for me.
I want to be sure that all the pet lovers are aware of this expanded recall.

Thank you hf

Vitamin D poisoning is all too rampant. This is unrelated to the earlier recall.

milk and so many other foods are supplemented with D as well.

I pinned this as a lot of people need to know this!! People think it's safe because the vet told them to get it.

i would lay the blame square ON THEM from their own quality control THEN where are all ingredients originating from-
gawd knows they charge enough.

waaay back when had to put down 2 dogs due to pedigree crrrap-aflaatoxin poisoning went rampant throughout their product for the second time-

freeekin purina benEful-how many recalls ?
on and on.


i have had dogs since the very early 60s and never recalled all of this bs regarding their food.

and now the bone broth crew has to chime in--listen up-we are responsible and caring owners and can't even afford bone broth etc for the family including pets.
the commercial feed should be held accountable and to standards regarding QUALITY CONTROL and stop sing chinese shit.

Re: Hill's Science Diet/Prescription Diet Dog Food Recall Expanded
12-14yrs ago I had a diabetic cat that was on prescription only Science Diet when it was recalled. It had a chemical added to it to fudge the protein levels in the nutrition analysis, and that chemical was destroying dogs and cats kidneys.

I switched my diabetic cat to non-prescription Wellness "Core" grain free canned food in his blood sugar became much better managed, and he required far less insulin thus saving me money.

A year or two after that cat passed I went grain-free myself and I had amazing results. Been keto for 2yrs now. God Speaks through our pets. I learned more about being a Man from that cat than any other Man, and I don't even like cats.

Fuck Science Diet Brand.

Re: Hill's Science Diet/Prescription Diet Dog Food Recall Expanded
I don’t get why people feed canned dog food. It’s literally cheaper to buy pork shoulder or chicken thighs and mix a bag of frozen veggies and put them in a dutch oven and make a weeks batch of food. Costs me about $8-$10 a week to feed 3 yorkie fresh healthy food and takes me about 5 minutes to prepare it stick it in Dutch oven take out of Dutch oven and put in Tupperware and serve threw out the week.

My dog was on prescription diet last December because she was sick, she passed away a week later due to organs shutting down.

I bet the food poisoned her.

If you love your dog, don’t feed it processed crap. That’s like buying margarine because it’s heart healthier.

BS. Feed your dog raw meat with spirulina and kale, green beans and broccoli.

Dogs love cut up watermelon and strawberries.

Get a vitamin supplement like NuVet.

Stop believing they need manufactured crap!

Re: Hill's Science Diet/Prescription Diet Dog Food Recall Expanded
One of my cats has IBD (irritable bowel disease). He's been on Hills hydrolized prescription canned and dry food for about eight months. It is the only food he can eat (including raw) without getting extremely ill. The food has saved him.

For some reason, Hills is the only company that makes certain prescription canned cat and dog food. It's so sad that dogs who have health problems to begin with end up dying from the very food that is supposed to help them.

Meh - table scraps. I'm late 50s and my family has always fed the dogs table scraps. We might supplement a bit with some dry food here and there, but mostly scraps. None has ever died of disease - all old age.

In some cases the above food won't work. I tried grain-free venison and rabbitt for my cat made by many many different companies, and I tried raw food. My cat cannot process protein. He becomes deathly ill from it. The Hills prescription hydrolized food processes the protein in a such a way that it's digested slowly and fools the body into thinking that it's not getting protein.

Each 5.5 oz can cost approximately $3.50 a can. If I could give him store-bought food, I would. And the 7 oz bag cost $56. But it's keeping him healthy and happy. He went from violently vomiting 5 to 7 or more times a day (and all that goes along with it) to vomiting maybe once a month.

Diamond Naturals is a very good dog food and much cheaper than the pricier Taste of the Wild. Fed my 120lb dog that for most of her life. Never a serious vet bill, always a healthy weight and she is living out her full life span, currently in her 11th year.

Another good one is Wholesomes, also sold at Tractor Supply. I actually like it better than Diamond Naturals. About the same affordable price. Hard to find two better dry dog foods at about $1 a pound that are corn, wheat and soy free.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77365800


The supplement packs likely came in from another vendor and the error happened there. No notice until many deaths occurring. At that point you are looking at many batches that have been made and these things have a long shelf life.

In the end, it all comes down to the people you hire. Probably can't read or write and very lax in quality control. I bet it came from China.

No, HIll is not the only one who makes prescription pet foods. Purina, and Royal Canin also make many prescription diets. Your Vet may not carry other brands. Get a written prescription from your vet and go ONLINE and get your prescription pet food. If you are buying from your Vet, you will save money buying online.

I’ve got big yorkies they are around 11-13 pounds each so 30-35 pounds of dog costs me $10 a week. Less then buying a can of rotten dog crap a day. If I had a 50-100 pound dog then sure I can see needing to give dry food with it.
