Yes, wet cat food is cooked! To make the delicious taste that your cats love, the carefully selected ingredients are blended with cooked meat and then mixed in with jelly or gravy. Of course, this could also be blended into a delicious cat food pâté. Is cat food halal? Fold Hill Foods Ltd., has issued the recall notice for the above-mentioned cat foods because “there is concern over the safety of the products listed.” Put simply, a significant number of cats in the UK have recently become ill with a health condition called pancytopenia (and in some cases, related illnesses). This is usually an incredibly rare condition; the average UK veterinary clinic might see one, or no, cases of this a year.

However, in the last few weeks alone, over 200 cases of pancytopenia have been confirmed, with others under investigation. The only common factor across the cats that have been diagnosed with the condition is that they were fed one of the three above-mentioned food types, which in turn, are all made by Fold Hill Foods, and at one specific facility.

The recall notice for AVA cat food applies to all of the following dry cat food types, and applies to every batch number and best before date. This means if you feed your cat any of these foods, they are affected by the recall. Make sure your cats are entertained by swinging by our pet toys section. From squeaky cuddly toys to bouncy balls, we’ve got everything you need to keep them occupied. (Although, being cats, they might prefer playing in the boxes the toys come in!)

We also have dog and puppy food that's paw-sitively delicious. Our barking good blends will make your furry friends drool with delight and beg for seconds. After all, they deserve nothing but the most fetching flavours.
