Appreciate your looking.

[Ainast]

I thought my dad was the only one who did that lol. Actually I really don’t crave sweets. I crave real cokes like mad though.

[Muzzle_em]

Yes!
Try baking or grilling salmon sometime and see what they do!
I had a lab that would stare at me when I was baking it and if I acknowledged her, drool would pour out of her mouth and she would sling her head and bark at me.

Is Pounce Del Monte?

If so, that paragraph I quoted is wrong!

If so, is it in that article? I need to know the flavor.

I have a Pounch Treat bottle that I’d given to a cat and she threw up, so I haven’t given out any more.

[Brad’s Gramma]

It is also listed under various names like 'Grain Byproducts' or 'Wheat Byproducts'.

I don't doubt you, but I have family members who will doubt ME...do you have any info on that that I can show them?

Please?

[Slings and Arrows]

It appears that Pounce is Del Monte. From the article:

April 6, 2007—As a precautionary measure, Del Monte Pet Products is voluntarily recalling select product codes of its pet treat products sold under the Jerky Treats®, Gravy Train® Beef Sticks and Pounce Meaty Morsels® brands...

Pounce Meaty Morsels Moist Chicken Flavor Cat Treats Code: Best By: TP7C12 Sep 09 08

No Wheaties for Piper!

[Lady Jag]

Pounce has a lot of meaty treats, per se. The pouch below bears the recalled "Meaty Treats" label.

Piper isn’t the one who eats cerial, I sometimes do. Makes you think!

[devolve]

Yup - Sure duz make one think -

Stick to fresh wholewheat or multigrain toast with honey and creamcheese!

Recently baked or processed food products are more locally produced and inspected by the USDA and state and city foos inspectors

Any changes needed are quickly made and enforced

So much for Mad Cow Disease

The Chi-Coms are killing the kitties and puppies

OBL has been watching this you know -

OBL has been watching this you know

I think I've posted on the forum several times that this is giving the terrorists big ideas. I'm sure they have already thought of the idea but the 'ways' of doing it will help them.

Mad Cow disease and the bird flu - precursors of things to come!

[ZULU]

Its like something from Through the Looking Glass or Jonathan Swift, isn’t it?

Just do a search for the phrase wheat gluten and a ton of stuff will come up. Here are just a few:

Del Monte Expands It's Pet Food Recall

So now I have to take back the fruit cocktails I've been feeding my cats?

[afraidfortherepublic]

One of my grandchildren had to be on a gluten-free diet for a year when he was about 6. It wasvery difficult because he was denied so many foods that the rest of the family could eat. In the end, it did not solve his problem.

“This is so frustrating. Who runs the FDA? The career bureaucrats who weren’t good enough to work for FEMA?”

Ouch! Man, that was cold! :-D

[Think free or die]

"I have a Pounch Treat bottle that I’d given to a cat and she threw up, so I haven’t given out any more."

Funny you mentioned that - my kitty has puked up Pounce treats in the past few months as well. I've given my kitties Pounce treats for many years, and they've always gone for them in a big way. In the past few months, Callie has wolfed them down only to throw up in the next room. This recall has encouraged me to learn more about feline nutrition, and I've tossed any of their food which contains wheat (including the jar of Pounce in the kitchen). Callie had been tossing her cookies pretty regularly after dinner, but since changing her diet about 10 days ago, no problems. She and her sister look well, and like their new diets. No more Hills Science Diet, no more Pounce treats, more wet food . . .
