Hill's Presciption Diet

Hill's is voluntarily recalling a single product:

• Prescription Diet™ m/d™ Feline dry food

This recall applies to all lot numbers, in 4-pound and 10-pound bags. Canned versions of m/d are not included in the recall.

Hill's is recalling m/d at this time because it contains suspect wheat gluten.

None of the Wellness Brand pet foods have been involved with the recent food recalls.

Wellness canine and feline products are high-end pet foods, based on expensive and heavily controlled ingredients (no wheat gluten or rice protein). We've found that pets are far less likely to be allergic to Wellness foods, and also digest these diets better.

For further information, please visit the their website, or contact them at 1-800-225-0904.

Greenies are not involved in the recent pet food recalls, and are safe.

These are a popular treat we stock for both dogs and cats. They are manufactured by S&M NuTec who receives all of their corn, soy and wheat gluten supplies from North America and not China. They also do not include rice gluten from the foreign suppliers linked to the recall.

Please feed only the new canine GREENIE treats that have been reformulated for better digestability
