egretThis is not any kind of official recall, but I wanted to share the link because of my own experience.
I found this thread on Natural Balance while browsing the Catster forums. My cats had been eating Natural Balance lately so naturally I was interested. I followed the link given to this independent consumer complaints page about Natural Balance. I have no idea how reliable that consumer complaints site is. However, one of my cats has recently had some of the symptoms described; the symptoms cleared up about the same time that I ran out of Natural Balance and switched to something else. I had not made the connection between the food and the cat's digestive issues because I thought it was a stressed out reaction to holiday upheaval. One of my cats had diarrhea that smelled beyond awful, but was eating and alert and acting normally otherwise. My other cat was fine. Both cats are fine now. It could all be a coincidence, but these unofficial complaints from the internet are unnerving, so I am sharing them. I had run out of cans of Natural Balance, but I discarded the rest of the dry food that I had.
As far as I can tell, Natural Balance has not recalled anything since June 2010.
Resource: The American Veterinary Medicine Association has a pet food recall watch page.
Again, the food could be fine; this is not a recall. But I thought it was worth mentioning especially since it affects a brand generally considered to be a wholesome food.
