To think that foods advertised as "better" and charged for accordingly (Science Diet, for fuck's sake!) are pretty much the same shit as the cheap stuff.
Science Diet dry and regular canned food isn't made by Menu Foods - it's unfortunate that people are assuming that it's the same crap. My vet told me years ago not to use Iams of any kind (it was already linked to kidney disease) - he uses Hill's Prescription & recommends Science Diet.
I actually did feed some of the 'cuts & gravy' type foods to my older cat, who died of kidney failure in February. However, he was 15, diabetic and had gone off his food in the first place, so I don't think it's related, and I'm pretty sure that it was Fancy Feast or Nine Lives. I wouldn't have bought either Iams or generic food under any circumstances. In any case, I think it happened before the contaminated food was sold. I don't know if a lawsuit is really appropriate in this case, unless Menu Foods knew about possible contamination and sold the food anyway.
