From a friend's vet's email:
i have become aware that one of the heartgard products does contain wheat gluten...... however, the word from Meriel is that the HG itself does NOT contain wheat gluten...... ....it is the "trial" products, some sort of non-medicated flavor chew they give to vets to use as a taste-test for animals that contains it.......... THEY say, no wheat gluten in HG!!! (not only did my office call them, but i have support for this info via VIN) From another friend:
When I called our Merial rep today, he confirmed that the Heartguard treat medication DOES have wheat gluten in the product, however none of the Merial Heartguard products have the wheat gluten from China used.
From yet another friend:
It seems like everyone who calls Merial gets a different answer from whoever they talk to.
My friend who called - spoke to Kelle in the media department. She said emphatically NO wheat gluten in Heartguard. Period. (She spoke to someone named Justin before Kelle, who said the same thing.)
Someone else called - Yes, wheat gluten in the Chewables, but it's grown and processed in the US.
Yet someone else called - No wheat gluten in Heartguard, just in some trial run treats?
Does anyone in this company really know the truth? And exactly what IS the truth? The package insert sure doesn't say.
...
I haven't received a return call yet from Schering-Plough regarding Tri Heart Plus.....
