I got my cat Woody to gain some much needed weight by giving him some half-and-half every day. He does fine with dairy, and lets it sit out a few hours before he drinks it (which someone said helps with the lactic acid)

Adding on to what Davis said...
Mike, it's all about PERCEPTION and belief. And a lot of us have the belief that garlic is bad for our pets. That perception ALONE is costing B2B sales. Doesn't matter if it's not true. (Frustrating to you - absolutely.)
I have a cat that loves garlic (flavored) food. I often make a ground turkey thing for myself, lots of garlic and italian seasoning and vegies. My cat Woody LOVES it. I always pick out the garlic so he doesn't get any chunks, but he gets lots of the flavoring. He *loves* it. Given a choice between ground turkey with garlic and ground turkey without garlic - he won't touch the one without it. So I can see why it's in your food!
But, a few weeks ago (before I knew who you guys were or saw this thread) I was looking for a new food, looked at the B2B site, saw the garlic, and removed B2B from consideration. Just sayin... We're all so scared of food now, that ANYthing that sets off an alarm bell (again, whether it's totally true or not) is going to get that food eliminated.
You guys could do the sticker thing (I'd thought of it too even before reading Davis's post!).
Maybe it's time for some market research... even something as simple as a quick exit survey on your website. (Did you buy? Why not?)
Just my 2 cents...

PetFoodExpress stepped up again, and posted results of tests *they* got done on the food they sell.
I contacted them back on Day 3 or 4 of the recall, and they were the first ones to respond to me. I shopped there for years before I left the Bay Area, and I keep wishing they'd open up a store here. They rock.
Thanks Pet Food Express!
