I checked all of our treats last night after Hills announced they used the
same wheat gluten supplier for that prescription cat food. Damned if all
but one brand doesn't contain wheat gluten, including 2 boxes of Nutro
treats. Some of them are the small, soft training treats, and some are
hard biscuits. They are all in the trash now and I'm trying to remain
calm. I'm just going to avoid all wheat and wheat gluten, but is that
enough?
What's really scary to me is that the FDA is saying the level of melamine
found in the food doesn't explain the symptoms they are seeing in pets who
consumed it.
Tip of the iceberg?
