!!! FORMULA ALERT !!!

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just found Petag responsible for the
tainted formula that sickened and killed infant animals. An independent lab
analysis of the product showed insufficient nutrition, extreme levels of
fiber and toxic levels of heavy metal copper.

January 29, 2010 the FDA finished their investigation into Petag. Petag is
the number one manufacturer of kitten and puppy milk in the world as per the
company's website. Their formulas KMR and Esbilac sickened and killed many
animals in 2009. These formulas are also used for orphaned wildlife such as
cheetahs, raccoons, squirrels and opossums who also died.

Only after the FDA began their investigation did Petag publicly admit on
their website that their KMR kitten formula was bad and should not be used.

This was after months of reports of kittens and other animals who got
diarrhea and died. Even though the company admitted on their website that
they received multiple complaints CEO and co-owner George Gill told the FDA
that they only received one complaint. COO and company owner Darlene
Frudakis admitted in a December 17, 2009 radio interview on "Where the fur
flies" that their KMR formula was spoiled from heat and should not be used.
Unfortunately Frudakis did not alert consumers or distributors of the
problems with the product. She merely posted a small note on the company
website. The tainted product is still on store shelves.

The FDA does not have the power to force recalls on pet food items. The
company must initiate their own recalls. Petag has not done this.

When informed about the spoiled formula from consumers Pet Sense pet stores
removed all of the product from their 31 stores nationwide. One manager of
one Petco store removed the tainted product after consumer complaints. It is
not known at this time if Petco or PetSmart removed all of the tainted
formula from all of their stores nationwide. The tainted KMR smells Rancid
and appears more yellow than white. Do not use this formula.

Animal Advocates in Los Angeles, California was the organization which made
the initial report to the FDA. More information about the problems
isavailable on the Animal Advocates website.
