Default Now it's dry food...

IMO, it's more than enough. In fact, I wouldn't worry about any wheat
or wheat gluten product that wasn't made by Menu Foods (from products
imported from China), no matter the brand.


The problem is that the FDA has not disclosed the names of all of the
companies who have received shipments from the same supplier. Since
yesterday, we've heard new recalls from both Hills and Purina (Alpo cuts
and gravy), and Nutro states on their web site that their dry foods do
not contain wheat gluten, but guess what? Their treats do!

Who is next?

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?


No, I really don't think so.


I hope not, but if there isn't enough melamine or aminopterin in the food
to cause the symptoms, then what is?

But "better safe than sorry" has always been one of my mottos.


Ditto here. Hence the pile of treats in the trash. Thankfully, Roxy
will work for Cheerios.
