They process all of the kibble at their own plant. Plus evo is grain free. I would just leave him with what you are doing if it is working well for him.

I agree. Natura has their own plant for making kibble. Their canned food is made at Menu Foods South Dakota plant. :sad:

It also is sad that Wellness & NV are produced at the same plant with those other 'lower quality' foods....it doesn't make sense to me. I am now beginning to wonder if that's where TO produces their foods. In their response, they stated that their food is produced at a plant where many other high quality foods are produced. I wonder if they consider all these commercial brands to be equal to their own. |

I'd look into TO being manufactured at Diamond.

It used to be! When Diamond had their big recall, TO pulled out & went somewhere else & that's the mystery-where did they go? If I find out it's MenuFoods, we're going raw & that's it.

I had just started to switch P to TO Wild & Natural from EVO (it made him chew his legs :sad: ), but with all the pet food crap thats been going on we went raw on Wednesday. I'm so happy we did!

I never got a reply to my recent TO email so I suppose it's Orijen for us now. I have a small bag of wellness that is bothering me to own though still.

DVP is NB
* Dry food is made at their own plant then shipped to the Diamond plant where it is bagged. * Canned food is made at their own plant, then shipped to American Nutrition in Utah where it is canned. Natural Balance has their own line at American Nutrition and no other canned foods are run through Natural Balance’s equipment.

I really wish they would bag and can at their own plant. The more people invloved in handling the more chance of contamination.

From what I've heard, I don't know if TO even tells their distributors :sad: or, maybe they're sworn to secrecy. Maybe, because you know yours, she'll say something. Good luck ....and, you must let us know if you find out. |

It was the Evo. He had never chewed his poor legs before that! He only had a bit of TO added to one meal before I decided to go raw again.
Now I have a huge bag of TO samples that our distributor dropped off for me. I'll certainly let you know what, if anything, I find out!!

I sent an email to Wellness a few days ago telling them although they advise on their site that their food has not been affected by the recent recall, they're not being honest to the consumer with regards to their use of Menu Foods. I also said for the consumers sake and the integrity of their company, they should be very honest and straight forward with their use or non-use of Menu Foods, especially on their site.
I recieved this email back today: Dear Dianne, Menu does make some of our canned cat and canned dog foods. They make OUR recipes according to OUR quality standards. We have procedures in place to clean between each run of food that is produced. We also inspect the plant regularly to audit their procedures. Since we take our quality very seriously we go above and beyond what is expected in the industry. We are happy to tell you that we require our facilities to pass an audit by Cook & Thurber, a HUMAN FOOD auditing firm. They have a great website that explains what they do and their strict requirements. They can be found at www.cookandthurber.com If you have any further questions you can contact us on our Consumer Affairs line at (800) 225-0904. I hope this puts a few people at ease that are using Wellness. I have to admit, I'm not too worried, but the fact remains Wellness doesn't agree with Sprocket at the moment.

Food Recall!!!
But isn't Timberwolf Organics kibbles manufactured at Chenango Valley Pet Foods in Sherburne, NY???

That would be the new info as as yesterday or the day before... They haven't confirmed it though, and so far they don't necessarily seem like the most tip top manufacturer either.

I called my Wellness rep. and she assured me that none of the Wellness products were made at Menu Foods. I also recieved a letter to put up in my shop for my customers to see assuring them that Wellness is not part of the recall. I am still feeding my cats and dogs Wellness (dry and canned). I do have faith in the company and hope they are being honest......

Be careful because sometimes the reps aren't as up-to-date as they should be. The last time Wellness changed their formula, for example, the distributors apparently weren't told (from what I've heard). If they tell you there's a problem, they're telling you not to buy their food, which isn't what they're there for. :sad:

Most of the lists that include manufacturers list Menu as Wellness/OMH's canned manufacturer. On the Wellness/OMH site they simply say their foods are not effected, not that they have no link to Menu.

I agree. Everything I've read says that Wellness canned is made by Menu.
