No other AVA or Pets At Home products are known to
be affected
Risk: Thiamine deficiency in
cats may impact a cat’s health. Three cats have so far been identified which
became seriously unwell after switching to one of the affected products and
exhibited symptoms ranging from sudden collapse, fitting, widespread twitching
and general unsteadiness which are not the classic symptoms of thiamine
deficiency.
Advice:
If you have bought any of the listed products with the specified
product codes, please return it to where you bought it for a full refund or
call 0800 328 4204.
If you have concerns that your
cat may be showing any of these symptoms after switching to one of the four
affected products then you should stop feeding and seek immediate veterinary
advice. You can also contact one of Pets At Home customer advisers on 0800 328
4204 for general advice.
