Jeannette Polowski Webboard User Reg: 03-12-2002 Posts: 732 Loc: Hudson Valley of NY Offline	Has anyone heard that there is a problem w/ Heartgard? A local shelter sent out an email that said it was possible that Heartgard was contaminated w/ bad "wheat gluten", even though the ingredients were not listed on the packaging. They were advising people to switch to Interceptor as a precaution. Is there any truth to this???? No one ever said life was supposed to be easy, life is what you make of it!!

QUOTE: Merial has stated that they did not obtain gluten from the suspect source, but are examining the products to confirm the absence of any contaminants. END dated 5 p.m. yesterday (04/18) from http://www.vin.com/Promo/MenuRecall.htm I will follow up further. I'll post whatever I find.

Vicki told me that there is no wheat or rice in the product. Their web-page will be updated and ALL vets that carry Heartguard will be receiving a letter from Merial stating their product is safe to use.

I called them too, and they say their filler is ground corn cobs.... which appear to be uninvolved.

The greater concern was that there might be compromised meds out there as well as foods. No one ever said life was supposed to be easy, life is what you make of it!!
