Avoid Pet Food Recalls: Hill’s® Ideal Balance: Ingredients From Trusted Sources
We love our cats and most of us do our best to provide the best food we can afford. The recent recalls of pet food manufactured in, or using ingredients from China is a pet owner’s worst nightmare. In the past year the FDA has recalled over 30 different pet foods! The only way to have peace of mind is know where your pet food comes from and exactly what it contains.
In our last article – about the importance of selecting a natural food and correct balance of ingredients. Hill’s® Ideal BalanceTM is 100% guaranteed to provides perfectly balanced nutrition, quality, consistency and taste!
- Hills Ideal Balance dry food is locally made in the U.S.
- What you see is what you get. The labels clearly state all the ingredients and their percentages.
- Contains No corn, wheat or soy.
- All meat and poultry is sourced from USDA-inspected facilities.
- Quality samples are taken during manufacturing every 30 minutes and tested for key attributes to ensure consistency.
- Hills conducts more than 60 quality checks on every batch of food and has a zero tolerance standard to Salmonella.
- Every ingredient can be tracked by batch or ingredient, within 24 hours.
- Over 1,000 Salmonella tests are conducted every month.
- All Hill’s pet food is inspected and tested before it leaves the plant for a consistent, well-balanced meal, bag to bag.
Hill’s Pet Nutrition has two Ideal Balance dry foods formulas: Natural Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe Adult cat food, and Ideal Balance™ Grain Free Natural Chicken & Potato Recipe Adult cat food.
It adds up to ingredients and sources you can trust. In our busy lives, it’s good to know it’s one less thing to worry about. Remember, just because pet food is on a store shelf is no guarantee of safety.
Knowledge is power. Check you cat food labels for ingredient and sources. AVOID any pet food made in China. If your cat does eat something toxic they will have any or all of the following symptoms with hours of consumption. Please don’t hesitate to call your vet or emergency clinic.
- Decreased appetite
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Decreased activity
- Increased water consumption
- Increased urination

Appreciate it for this howling post, I am glad I observed this internet site on yahoo.

Not every food label is clear and I think it is a good indication to be careful (when it is not)!

We’re stopping by to say Happy Gotcha day to Odin & Gris Gris. This was their very lucky day to find such a good home and wonderful mom.

Made in the USA is great, no products from China is great, testing is great but alas the incidence of Salmonella etc. is growing at an alarming rate in the places that produce human food so there certainly are no product guarantees for that. It is like all things concerning our fur babies ,we must be hyper vigilent about observing them for any indication of change and act quickly on them.
Luvs to all!

It is difficult sometimes knowing what to trust.

I try to be very careful when choosing my boys’ food. Food source is one of the things I check. It’s great Hills is careful about food source, too!

It’s so scary to think of all the bad ingredients that go into some pet foods, and the appalling lack of regulations. 🙁
Thank goodness people are beginning to take this seriously…

Guess what? Today I bought a package of Hill’s :o) It’s not Easy’s favorite, but it is much better than other brands. And the best is: if you dislike it, they take it back (it’s an offer in our store, I don’t know if that is common)

My human is very careful about the food she buys us as we are her fur kids and she will not have us eating anything less safe than she does. It’s good to hear Hill’s is one company who does not use ingredients or is made in China. Purrrrrrr!
