With dry pet food now being added to the recall list, more pet owners are looking for ways to make their own pet food.
As a pet shelter worker and a pet owner I have been closely following the recent pet food recalls. Up until today (March 30), dry foods were not included, although I had silently wondered if dry food would sooner or later be added to the list. It seems that Hill's Pet Nutrition has now recalled its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food because it contains wheat gluten from the same supplier that Menu Foods used. How long before dry dog food is added to the list? It's getting harder and harder to discern which foods may be safe. As the drama unfolds, you have to wonder how many pet foods that are currently considered safe will later turn out not to be. Until all this settles out and people begin to trust the pet food supply again, more and more are starting to look into ways to make their own pet food. The article informing of the dry cat food recall can be read here.
