Congress needs to do something
It seems like our Government is not as concerned with our Pets as we are.
They allow imports and the FDA lacks on everything.
I myself am going to write to everyone in our Government weather it will help or not.
My Pets have ben effected they are my kids, and We need to let CONGRESS KNOW that we are TIRED of this and they NEED to get on the ball and take serious action on this issue instead of worrying about how they can collect more money from us to get out of debt

Let’s take action and get Congress to block these foodstuffs until we can certify they are safe.

Repost your question to Sunday Nite Updates so you can get an answer. There are a lot of kitty owners on that blog.

Keep in mind the beef Jerky is for treats only. Not to replace normal food. You need to find an everyday food you can trust.

Cats and dogs need a well balanced diet, home grown diets may not be well balanced.

If you do go home grown do your home grown, there are plenty of good pet foods out there, I spent all last weekend finding one.

Beef Jerky is not a bad alternative for dogs. I wouldn’t give them much, but its high in protein. You can also make your own that is lower in sodium and other additives (MSG).

Just get a very lean roast and you can put in in the oven for 3-5 hours. Alton Brown (food network) did a piece on jerky. I wouldn’t put the spices in it, but I am sure they would love it. I wouldn’t make it part of their normal every day food source or anything. But it would work as a treat. Plain meat would be fine. It can’t be any worse than what the recalled treats have in them. Just a suggestion.

What I have been doing is feeding cats a good (safe) dry food and just mixing water in it and then put it in the microwave for a few. I let it cool and they think they are getting wet food. At first I was mixing tuna (spring water) in with it. It is a slow weaning process, but determined to get them to kick that monkey off their backs.

I am hoping to get them off of wet all together.
