Press Release Body = CLEARWATER, FL - May 15, 2007 - A small but revealing survey
conducted by VetLocator.com show that the majority of veterinarians, 60%, feel that
one or more animals they treated was affected by tainted pet food manufactured by
Menu Foods.

On April 14, 2007, VetLocator.com surveyed veterinarians to see what effect the pet
food recall has had on their customers and businesses. The results of the survey
show that 60% of veterinarians reported treating one or more pets for symptoms
related to tainted food and also show that several veterinarians treated animals
with renal failure resulting in death before the recall was announced.

Additionally 62%, felt they did not receive the news of the pet food recall in a
timely fashion and were left scrambling for more information when they arrived at
work the morning after the recall news was announced. The survey also shows that
almost all vets found out about the recall the same way the rest of us did, via the
news on television.

The answers are candid and reveal a frustration with the lack of any formal
veterinary emergency notification system and also show how veterinary professionals
are getting their information today.
