Reactions to foods come in different shapes and sizes. The stronger reactions are easy to spot. Pain and swelling usually flood back within a couple of hours after ingestion. More subtle are reactions that bring on headaches, mental fog, anxiety, intestinal distress, sleepiness or fatigue. Symptoms from hyper-acute reactions can be lessened by taking one tablet of alka-seltzer (the gold box version) in a large glass of water. This can be repeated every 4 hours if needed.

Consumers and veterinarians who wish to report adverse reactions or other problems can go to the FDA internet page at http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html to obtain contact information for the FDA complaint coordinator in their state. When reporting an adverse event or complaint, please try to have the following information: middot; Brand name, lot numbers and UPC code for the pet food fed to your dog or cat when it was ill.

Doctors, dentists, coroners, pharmacists and nurses are strongly encouraged to report suspected adverse drug reactions to the Committee on Safety of Medicines. Prepaid Yellow Cards are available for this purpose and may be found at the back of printed copies of the BNFC or complete a Yellow Card on-line.

To report PET FOOD complints or any adverse reactions or other problems with FDA-regulated products, contact the FDA district office consumer complaint coordinator for your geographic area. If you require the use of a Relay Service, please call the Federal Relay Services (1-800-877-8339). This is a toll free relay service to call Federal agencies from TTY devices.

Our food has no fillers, so you feed a lot less than traditional pet food. As a result the price per feeding is actually quite affordable. Check out this article for more info. Also keep in mind that all of our prices include free shipping. You need to make sure the transition is gradual. When you introduce the Sojos diet, feed your pet a meal with mostly the old food and a little bit of the new mixture (Sojos mix, meat, and water – preferably soaked overnight).

First you'll need to add water and meat. We recommend USDA beef, chicken or turkey (ground or whole from the grocery store or butcher, or frozen meat patties sold in your local pet store). Always use safe handling methods when dealing with raw meat.

It depends on the size of your pet, but generally speaking, an average sized cat will go through one 4 lb bag of Sojos European-Style in 2 months. As for dogs, typically a 10 lb. bag of Sojos European-Style will last about 5 weeks for a 50 lb. adult dog and an 8 lb. bag of Europa or an 8 lb. bag of Monzie's will last about a month. As a rule of thumb, Sojos European-Style Dog and Cat Food Mixes and Monzie's contain approximately 3.8 cups per pound and Europa contains about 4 cups per pound.

It appears that melamine was introduced through wheat gluten from a specific supplier from China. The FDA announced, during their press conference of March 30, 2007, that their investigation had not identified any violations at either of the Emporia, Kansas or the Pennsauken, New Jersey facilities of Menu Foods. The FDA also announced that they did not find melamine in any of non-recall impacted samples of finished product or raw materials.

Preservatives are listed in the ingredient list usually in parenthesis behind a fat source, and can be divided into two categories: chemical and natural.

The vaccines that we administer to your pet are very safe. However, in rare instances they can cause a reaction in your pet. These reactions can vary from mild to severe and potentially fatal. Small breed dogs are more likely to have a vaccine reaction than a large breed dog. Since reactions to vaccines are very uncommon, the risk of exposure to the potentially serious illnesses the vaccine is designed to protect against far outweigh the slight risk of a serious reaction.

Some people think that feeding "people food" to pets will give them diarrhea and turn them into beggars at dinnertime. Depending on what you feed them and where, loose stools and begging can be avoided. Here are some simple guidelines to follow.

It is not correct that if you administer a shot of epinephrine during a food allergic reaction, you can forgo further treatment. It is also not correct that you should try to “tough out” a reaction.

the first sign of an allergic reaction to a food, call 911 immediately. Time is of the essence. Most food allergy fatalities occur within an hour of ingesting the allergenic food. If you are not minutes away from an emergency room, you may need to use an EpiPen, which you should always carry in case of an emergency.
