Well I'll say something. Wellness continues to put garlic in their food. This can be toxic to cats, their sensitivity to it varies and the effects are cumulative. I won't feed anything with garlic. Doing a search on "garlic, toxicology report" will put up past threads where I've given a link to a toxicology report from 2005 advising against its use with dogs or cats.

StarryEyedTiger--
I was just thinking of what is happening with those who deal in rescue work, fostering, or anyone who is feeding colonies/groups/ shelters, etc. I would be in such a panic
These manufacturers should send 'safe' foods to all of the group feeding establishments. It's tragic enough a family loses a pet but those who are caring for tens of hundreds....This is unacceptable. Just NO words.
I tried to start a 'positive note' thread earlier but this new thread is actually doing what I had hoped that thread would do. Call more attention to exactly what we are feeding our cats.
Knowledge is power.
forgive my ignorance, but how do you find out if it is wheat gluten free or not? does it say on the bag that it's there anywhere or do you just assume its there unless specifically stated otherwise? when it all came on the news my mother told me that she checked it out and our cat food was fine but how do i know? i don't have that much money but i want my cat to be healthy and happy? i am feeding her whiskers but my mother said that the type she bought or it was a different factory or something that ours was fine. i think i am gonna go get different cat food anyways because she doesn't particularly like this food but i don't know any relatively cheap healthy cat food brands, and she is getting older so that is also something i need to take into consideration. i don't really know anything about cat food so i think i am gonna check it out before i go. there has got to be stuff on this forum right?
There is a thread on foods not involved in the recall, and yes, every food, dry or canned has a list of ingredients, so you can check to see if wheat gluten is used
Bil JAC contains by products( yes they are the organs so I allow that in a wet not a dry...) lots of corn and chemical preservatives plus the mollasses aka sugar for flavor... there are alot worse but it aint on my good to great list
I fed this years ago, and had my vet at the time tell me that stool samples brought in on my cats, showed a lot of undigested vegetable matter..I don't think she was a fan of Bil-Jac.
i feed the chicken soup, both dry & wet, & am very pleased with my results. it's also quite cost effective, much less expensive than many 'premuim' brands, yet better quality. it is a bit grain-heavy, but no wheat or corn.Originally Posted by StarryEyedTiGeR
Is Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul pretty good- i'm thinking about switching all of my animals onto that tomorrow. It's gluetin free from what i've picked up online and has nothing to do with menu foods. I also like the ingredientsAnyone have experience with this product?
