Talula’s meal from Evanger’s, Smucker's announced Feb. 15 that it is voluntarily recalling shipments of Gravy Train, Kibbles ‘N Bits, Ol’ Roy, and Skippy dog food over pentobarbital-related concerns. After testing 62 samples of wet dog food from over 24 brands for pentobarbital multiple times over several months, just one brand repeatedly tested positive for pentobarbital with sixty percent of samples coming back positive: Gravy Train.

The "gravy" options are fairly unhealthy. And not to mention the unit cost is stupidly overpriced for the quality of the product.
Here's what you need to do instead....make your own "wet food", it's way cheaper and much healthier for your pet:
1) Go to the grocery store and buy some chicken (I prefer whole birds but quarters/pieces will work .... whatever's the "best bang for your buck").
2) Put the chickens in a big old stockpot, add some veggies if desired, and cover with water. Poach for ~2 hours or until the chicken is tender. (As far as veggies go -- celery, carrots, and potatoes are good options.)
3) Once the chicken is done cooking, pull out the birds out and set them on some sheet trays to cool off for an hour or so.
Once cool, pull the meat off the bones.
4) Throw the meat, veggies, and chicken stock into a food processor and chop it up to a nice smooth consistency --- now you have HEALTHY homemade wet dog food.
5) Pour the homemade dog food into quart size mason jars and put the jars in the freezer.
The food will last indefinitely in the freezer, and will last about 2 weeks in the fridge.
