My Nonprofit Reviews

•From the Rules of the Program: Food for the program is donated to Lost Our Home from our community; therefore, we cannot guarantee that it will always be available, or that you will have your choice of pet food brands.

1. I have received cat food from LOH. 2 bags of dry and 40 cans

2. I cannot use any of it due to type or expiration dates. I have verified this with my Vet and with the cat food companies (copy of emails below).

3. I have tried to contact LOH and have left two messages, have not received a reply.

4. I understand the above ‘rules’, however, if the food supplied to my cats is inedible, it should not be given out. The cats still need food that they can eat.

5. How can you help solve this problem? I live at 19th Avenue and Northern Avenue, I cannot make another trip to your location.

6. I would appreciate your help.

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for contacting the Veterinary Resource Center at Nestle Purina PetCare Company. We appreciate your interest in Purina products and your concern for your kitty.

Our Veterinary Diet OM diet is a great diet for pets that need to lose weight. If the product you were given was 1-2 months expired, I wouldn’t hesitate to open it and if it looked and smelled fine, to feed it but being a year expired, I wouldn’t recommend feeding it. I hope it helps but please let me know if you have any other questions.

Sincerely,

Jessica Oehlschlager
