As the contaminated pet food recall expands, it’s important to know what signs to watch out for in case your pet gets sick.

Here are the tell-tell signs of kidney failure:

• Stops eating
• Drinks lots of water
• Listlessness
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea

If you see at least 2-3 of the above signs, especially listlessness, call your local animal hospital.

Even if you’re not buying any of the recalled products, its important to know what to look out for. Who knows what other products the recall might grow to? — BEN POPKEN
