If you feed your cat Iams brand cat food there is a recall you need to know about.
The Procter & Gamble Company announced the voluntarily recall this week. It comes after tests found the product may not contain enough thiamine or vitamin B1, which is essential for cats.
The fear is that cats that only eat these products are at risk of developing a deficiency.
All varieties of Iams ProActive Health canned cat and kitten food in 3 and 5.5 oz cans sold in North America are included. The date on the affected cans range from 09/2011 to 06/2010.
Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include loss of appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss.
If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.
