I started feeding my dog neighborhood school children, after they are gone I moved onto the parents. Something out of a King novel is what it feels like in the neighborhood.

now...is this the raw-meat diet, or do you cook it first?

[Spacey]

depends on how the dog is feeling, usually tenderize the meat.

My dog likes her meat tenderized with Coca Cola. Unfortunately, she is now down to only 4 teeth, so I wouldn\'t suggest going that route.

Menu Foods Adds to Recall List (FDA site)

==========
"Menu Foods has previously recalled wet cat and dog food produced with adulterated wheat gluten supplied by ChemNutra Inc. Menu Foods is now expanding the recall to include cuts and gravy and select other products which do not include ChemNutra wheat gluten but which were manufactured at any of Menu Foods’ plants during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used at that plant, to the extent they have not already been subject to a recall, due to the possibility of cross-contamination. Menu Foods has received a report from a customer and has received study results, both of which indicate cross-contamination."

"Menu estimates that this additional recall represents less than 5% of the products that have already been recalled or withdrawn."
