Ok, but what other grains or products (chicken?) are imported from China for dog food? They do not have a great track record for safety. Even if you eliminate wheat gluten, there is no guarantee that the other ingredients aren't contaminated. Remember the corn issue just recently? Not trying to sound paranoid but just don't trust any kibble any more. I used to feed some of the dogs kibble or half raw, half kibble. They all get only raw now. Raw isn't for everyone, I know that. Home cooked meals are just as good. And, I have learned alot about eggs today :-) I feed the whole egg, shell and all. The dogs don't care about the green ring or if they are overcooked. But, I try to cook them right so I can share the eggs with them, lol! JMHO, as always :-) Laura Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Wasatchgld@xxxxxxx To: CheradonGSD@xxxxxxx; cajon1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 7:49 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: for those who don't want to feed raw-NOTICE The Iams and Eukanuba dry foods don't contain any wheat gluten either. Neither do the cookies - I checked everything I had on hand when this started and tossed any product with wheat gluten, whether it was on the list or not! I'm also checking anything I fix for myself, just in case <G>. Janice In a message dated 4/12/2007 11:51:46 P.M.
