Thanks Jill - I almost had a heart attack as I feed Roxy (non-EPI) Science Diet Perfect Weight but it looks like it's just the can food on that one that's been recalled.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

Thank you, Jill. It's pretty upsetting to see prescription foods recalled.
