Dear Valued Best Feline Friend (BFF) Customers:

As a family owned company with passion and commitment to producing nutritious and premium quality pet

foods, all concerns are met with our fullest attention. In order to maintain the highest quality transparency and

communication, we are issuing this notice regarding a matter still developing.

We have recently been made aware of select Best Feline Friend (BFF) canned foods, exclusive to the Australian

market, which may have been produced outside of intended formulation guidelines. Out of an abundance of

caution, and in partnership with our exclusive retailer of these goods, Petbarn and City Farmers have removed

all BFF items from shelves in Australia until our analysis is complete. The manufacturer for this exclusive BFF

canned food line does not produce BFF foods for any other global market or any other Weruva branded foods.

While this matter affects no other products or markets, we are taking additional steps to ensure quality and

confidence across our entire global food assortment. These efforts include aggressive testing of ingredients and

finished product by independent laboratories in addition to our routine testing and quality assurance measures.

We are in close communication with our partners at Petbarn and City Farmers and all of our manufacturing

partners and will continue to communicate updates as they become available.

Announcement

The safety of pets is and always will be our first priority. We sincerely regret the reports of the discomfort experienced by the pet who consumed this food. As pet parents ourselves, we take this matter seriously. On April 13, a retailer in Texas notified us that their customer had presented samples of our 13-ounce-can Cocolicious Beef & Turkey dog food (Lot #0136E15204 04, best by July 2019) and 13-ounce-can Cocolicious Chicken & Beef dog food (Lot #0134E15 237 13, best by August 2019) to a testing lab, and that the results had tested positive for pentobarbital. We have requested those results. Pentobarbital can affect animals that ingest it, and possibly cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, excitement, loss of balance, or nausea, or in extreme cases, possibly death.
When we were notified, we immediately tracked the lot numbers of the food in question and determined that the food had been manufactured and distributed in 2015. We then contacted the two probable retailers that had sold the customer the food and asked them to isolate all remaining cans from these lots. If pet parents have cans with either of those lot numbers in their possession, they should return them to the place of purchase and will of course receive a full refund.
We also requested that the retailers send all of the cans from those lots to us so that we can forward them on to an accredited independent laboratory for independent testing. We expect to receive the receive the results in 7 to 10 days. We first saw the formal report from the lab at Texas A&M regarding the customer’s samples, today, April 17.
Out of an abundance of caution, we are retrieving the remainder of these two lots nationwide. We are working with our distributors and retailers to determine if any additional beef-flavored products manufactured during this 2015 production period remain on shelves and, if so, to retrieve them from shelves, immediately, as well.
Party Animal wishes to emphasize that we have submitted many recent lots of our beef flavors for testing and all have tested negative for any pentobarbital. We have also had extensive discussions with our manufacturer regarding the potential cause of the reported contamination of the 2015 lots, and we will continue with such discussions even as we await testing results for the 2015 lots. In order to ensure adherence to our commitment to the safety of pets, we are also actively re-examining our manufacturing processes.

Common Cat Poisons

Really well done quick video on Cat Poisons in the home - please watch and take to heart folks. ITs really realty common !

One common poison that I feel doesnt get enough attention for cats - is ONIONS!  This is a HUGe no ! Onions in any form , powder, salt , in with other spices such as tomato paste , taco seasoning, and others are all potentially toxic to your kitty. Onions cause the red blood cells to die , causing a severe life threatening anemia.  
So no trash digging, no sharing. Be Safe! 

Kitty Health Thru Better Vitamins Nu Vet

So we wanted to follow up on our belief and trust in the product
 Nu Vet

Yes we have fed this to our personal cats for almost 10 years now. It is a product we are very happy with and will not only continue to use and recommend , but also require in our contracts. 

• Immune System Support
• Natural, Human Grade Ingredients
• Formulated to combat free radicals

NuVet Plus^® Ingredients

Major considerations in formulating NuVet Plus® were the human grade quality of ingredients and their nutritional values, as well as the bio digestibility and utilization into the cellular framework. We also considered the chemicals and toxins that find their way into our animals' food. NuVet Plus® was formulated to combat these harmful pollutants.

NuVet Labs® has designed a cutting edge formula that we believe will help increase your pet's longevity and quality of life. Our scientists performed extensive research and experiments with a variety of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and herbs, until they created NuVet Plus®, which provides a powerful synergistic defense against the harm caused by free radicals.

Gut Health In Your Siberian

Now we all know that a healthy gut - digestion - bowel movements - hydration etc - leads to a long and healthy life.  So it makes sense that we want this for our Kitties too - which is in part , why we feed a raw diet daily with the Nu Vet  .

But this company - AnimalBiome is taking things a step further.  
They are , through a simple fecal sample mailed into them , offering to tell you in a report exaclty what bacteria are or are not present.  

I would think for hte average owner this might not be off too much help - but for the determined owner with a kitty who say might be suffering from IBD this could be a wonderful thing. Also - if shared with your vet , and really why wouldnt you , they would be able to help you understand more fully what you are looking at and how it can apply to your specific kitty.

How AnimalBiome Works

1. 1. Collect: Order an assessment kit, sample your pet, and mail the sample back to us.
2. 2. Analyze: We extract and sequence DNA from the sample to identify your pet’s gut bacteria.
3. 3. Assess: You go online to explore, compare and share your pet’s results
4.  
5. So while we have not tried this company or product out - we wanted to be sure to share this information 
6.
