Did you know that millions of euthanizd dogs and cats wind up in your animal's food? It's true!
President of AAFCO admits pets in pet food. Even the
EPA admits to this! Still not sure if it's true? Check out this YouTube video if you aren't too squeamish - please be forewarned it is very disturbing!
What happens to euthanized dogs and cats?
The following is straight from the FDA's website. I strongly suggest everybody go and take a look. It contains the results from a test by the Center for Veterinary Medicine, (CVM) investigating the presence of pentobarbital (the chemical agent used to euthanize cats and dogs) in pet foods, and the list of brand names which tested positive. What they say:
"There appear to be associations between rendered or hydrolized ingredients and the presence of pentobarbital in dog food. The ingredients Meat and Bone Meal (MBM), Beef and Bone Meal (BBM), Animal Fat (AF), and Animal Digest (AD) are rendered from sources that could include euthanized animals."

FDA, CVM test results: which pet foods tested POSITIVE for pentobarbital some surprising, some not so much. A sampling of some brands which tested positive- Nutro, Ol' Roy, Kibbles N Bits, Pro Plan. (The highest levels were found in Ol' Roy and Kibbles N Bits.) But there are many more... please go and check it out!
And some more food for thought- dogs have been domesticated for
thousands of years, and yet meat-meal based kibble, which is what is used today, has only been around since the
1930's. That's just one generation. How confident are you that they're getting it right? Be sure you know what you are feeding your pet!
