When it comes to buying pet food, we expect the food that we buy has been properly tested, is free from contaminants and is safe for our pets to eat.  However, researchers in the UK have identified 3 cat food brands, which were recalled in 2021, that contained the fungus mycotoxin which can cause any number of diseases.

In this case, it’s believed that the fungus caused feline pancytopenia, or a loss of blood cells, in hundreds of cats that resulted in the deaths of over 350 of them.  The outbreak was further attributed to the presence of infected potato flakes in the foods.

At PURELUXE Pet Food, we’re at the forefront of safety and transparency in the pet food industry.  We test every batch of food not only for nutritional items like cook percentage but also for any number of containments to ensure that every formula we sell is safe.  Combine that with our holistic fresh meat 1st ingredients, and you’ve got truly powerful and transformational dog and cat formulas.

Be safe out there, and ask your pet’s food the tough questions about safety.  See all of our formulas at pureluxepetfood.com.
