they found out that one brand of dry food is affected but they do not NAME IT!!!!

ARGG!

check your dry food, if you see wheat gluten as an ingredient, avoid it at all cost!

right now my dogs are still eating eukanaba dry food, i checked the ingredients but no wheat gluten

this is driving everyone nuts!!!!!!!

i already purchased canidae and it is on its way.

It actually says the SUPPLIER is the culprit....I think they may recall dry food as a precaution and per the request of PETA....This is nuts

No they are now saying that they are NOT sure. The FDA has not been able to confirm rat poison. Rat poison was found by a lab in NY.

I can't believe they aren't telling us the brand, so we can at least stop feeding it.

I am getting confused is it the wheat gluten or not? I thought the posion was in the supplier of the wheat gluten? This is so scary.

Wheat Gluten is still the culprit. The poison or whatever is IN the wheat gluten. This is what I have heard anyway.

crazy crazy crazy!

Just to be safe, I checked and Royal Canin puppy 33 and the Yorkshire formulas do NOT contain wheat gluten.

Maybe everyone here can check their brands and report if the ingredients do or don't contain wheat gluten...

I'd avoid anything with it in it to be on the safe side.

It's not rat poison as of yesterday. It's now something that starts with an M and I'm not sure it's in the wheat gluten. They're not sure if it's in the dry food, which is why Hills voluntarily pulled their dry food.

The truth is, they don't know yet what it is, so I guess it's our responsibility to take care of our own animals as we see fit.
They just can't pinpoint it yet.

I'm in the process (starting yesterday) of switching Izzie (almost 4 months old) to Royal Canin's puppy formula from Science Diet. I've never seen her wait for me to pour dog food into her bowl!!! Now, there are little Science Diet kibbles all over the floor. I have a feeling that she'll be picking out the Royal Canin kibbles...

This whole dog food thing is *SO* scary...
