I have always fed my cat Iams Proactive Health dry food. Although the lot number on my current bag does not match with your published numbers, my 4-year old cat became very ill last night, throwing up more than 20 times. We spent the morning at the vet’s, having him blood tested, x-rayed and barium tested. He had lost 1/2 pound and was becoming dehydrated. He was treated with anti-nausea shots and was given fluids. Now that I have him home, he is sitting like a statue in the back of my closet.
The lot number on the current bag of food is 31444173. I think you should check this lot also, in spite of the fact I live in California. It appears I may have poisoned my cat by feeding him Iams. The vet’s bill was more than $500, not to mention the trauma to my cat and to me.
I am so sorry you and your cat are going through this. I hope that he starts to feel better very soon.
Your bag of food wasn’t listed on the Iams website (http://www.iams.com/en_us/data_root/_pdf/8-14-13%20Iams%20Recall%20Information_Cat.pdf) and wasn’t included in the recall. Iams has not notified us of any additions to the recall at this point, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t expand the recall at a later date, like Natura did.
I think you should talk to your veterinarian to see how to submit a report to the FDA or Iams since your cat was ill after feeding their food.
I have been feeding a homemade diet for my dogs and cats since the 2007 pet food recalls. If you are interested in trying a home cooked diet, talk to your veterinarian about what foods would be best for you pet.
I changed my 4 month old puppy to Iams Large breed food yesterday at supper time. In the night he became ill…vomiting. He slept most of the day and would not eat. Now he is drooling, vomiting and has extreme diarrhea. I called the vet and told her of the symptoms and she told me to go to this website and check the lot numbers on my bag of food. Although the lot number 321044175 is not recalled I am greatly concerned. My vet is going to test my pup for a variety of things but I feel very suspicious of the Iams food. I pray my little love is going to be alright 🙁
Oh no! Maybe the change was too fast for your puppy? Some dogs get really sick if you change their foods too quickly. its best to do it slowly over the course of a week or so. I really hope your puppy starts feeling better. I would contact Iams and let them know you have an incident with the lot number on your bag so that they can investigate whether they need to expand the recall.
I have used IAMS for a while now.. and it seems that there has been recalls for it.. my dog loves it.. but I got another puppy recently and they both were eating the recalled dog food.. and got very sick! Needless to say I am switching dog foods for good.. I have never heard of this many recalls in dog food… but I would like to thank you for letting us know about this problem! And it gave some insight to why my poor babies were so sick!
I am glad you were able to figure out why your pets were sick. Hope they start feeling well again soon. I’ve been feeding a homemade diet for years now… since the 2007 recall disaster. I suggest checking out this post on reading dog food labels before switching, and remember to make any switches very gradually!
Best of luck, Heather C.
