Dog Owners, important recall intel

[WillBrink]

If you have any of these brands, throw them out now! Although the doses not found to be lethal, how/why on earth there's pentobarbital in these products makes no sense at all. My guess is, they are contract produced in China. That's often the common denominator in weird chit like this. Usually it's cross contamination, but I doubt very much there's a plant that produces pentobarbital and pet food, so this was in really a mystery.

WASHINGTON --

Retailers nationwide pulled at least 31 varieties of dog food off the shelves after a months-long investigation found the food contained the euthanasia drug pentobarbital.

Days after lab tests were released, Smucker's, the owner of almost all the brands in question, announced a voluntary withdrawal or products including Gravy Train, Kibbles 'N Bits, Skippy and Ol' Roy lines of canned food.

Retailers, including the nation's largest, Walmart, removed it from all 4,700 stores.

Terrible food to begin with. Those are cheap for a reason.

Yup, wouldn't feed my dog that garbage anyway, but that's another issue really.

For a second, from the title I thought you had lost it and were talking recalling dogs.

I think that junk is in there because they are processing carcasses of animals that have been euthanized...

Makes sense, yup.

I only feed my dogs Fromm. It's one of the only brands that triple tests it's food products for chemicals and dangerous bacteria during the manufacturing process. I do not believe they've ever had a recall either.
