I thought my house was totally gluten-free until I started reading the
labels on pet food.  It turns out that most prepared cat and dog foods--both
canned and dry--contain wheat products.  Moreover, many of them (especially
the "meaty" canned products) contain concentrated wheat gluten.  Any celiac
with a pet needs to be aware of this possible source of cross-contamination.
 Make sure to carefully wash hands, spoons, and countertops after handling
pet foods, and watch out for kibble crumbs.  (Same goes for hamster, mouse,
guinea pig and gerbil food).
