I was just reading Thursday or Friday's (the 11th or 12th of April) Wall Street Journal. Now they're saying the recall has been expanded.
From
http://www.menufoods.com/recall/:
Recall Information
1-866-895-2708
As a result of adulterated wheat gluten there have been several additional pet food and pet treat product recalls that are not part of the Menu Foods recall. For information on these additional pet food recalls please go to
www.fda.gov
Here's a more direct link I found:

If you change your pet's diet, do it over a few days, introducing the new food while feeding some of the old to avoid gastrointestinal distress. The Wall Street Journal gave a link to
http://vet.osu.edu/1851.htm
The wheat gluten that caused the problem (16 confirmed pet deaths so far, probably more unreported) came from China and included an industrial by-product that has no business being in a food product.
I don't understand how we can be getting that food from China when we're the 'bread basket of the world'. How can it be cheaper to get wheat from China?
