SPECIFIC DIETS ARE NOT EFFECTED BY THE PRODUCT RECALL RELATED TO AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF FELINE PANCYTOPENIA

You may have seen news reports regarding product recall related to several cat food brands linked to an increased incidence of feline pancytopenia.

This relates to the brands Sainsbury’s Hypoallergenic Recipe range; Pets at Home’s AVA range and Applaws Cat Dry products all of which have been produced at the same UK manufacturer.

None of our SPECIFIC diets are produced at this manufacturer or any manufacturer connected with this supplier and there is no indication that our diets are in any way effected.

We are watching for and will review data as it emerges from the investigation into this unfortunate event.
