The massive pet food recall seems to grow everyday, and pet owners are more concerned than ever about what is actually safe to feed to their pets.

The latest addition to the recall comes from Del Monte, and the products include Gravy Train Beef Sticks, Jerky Treats and Pounce Meaty Morsels. Ol' Roy,a private labe,l also added Beef Flavor Jerky Strips and Beef Flavor Snack Stick dog treats to the list.

In addition to the 60 million products recalled from Menu Foods, Science Diet has also pulled its prescription Science Diet Cat food, and Alpo has pulled its Cuts and Gravy style dog food. This latest announcement is the first time dog and cat treats have been affected.

The concern is the ingredient wheat gluten which is found in some foods and may contain a deadly toxic called melamine. Pet owners can check the ingredients list to find food that is made without wheat gluten. Many people are turning to organic foods, but retailers are having trouble keeping those brands stocked.

Signs to watch for in your pets include:

Lethargy
Vomiting
Drinking Too Much or Not Drinking At All
Change in Personality

If you suspect your animal may be sick, a veterinarian can perform a simple blood or urine test to see if your pet has been poisoned.
