This is where live stock and often our family pest that have been put down and "rendered" into "Ingredients" in our our dog's commercial foods. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Unfortunately much too often. Recalls because of salmonelas, listerias, and coliform bacterias. What concerns the drug used for euthanasia is clear too. Lots of manufacturars use the meat of euthanized animals for the production of dog and cat food. Logical: this is much cheaper. The drug remains in the dead animal and can do serious harm to our pets That's one reason why I don't use commercial food any more. Certainly exist responsible producers, but the consumer can't distinguish in time, which are the good or bad ones. “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling

It is certainly better than no recall, but ....! “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling

With that coming to light then the info was either incorrect or the dog food company got hold of some ingredients that is shouldn't have for whatever reason. Hopefully more will come to light on this subject. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Although I only give raw food I'm not at all without doubts for I can't check where the meat comes from. “If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, then you are a leader” – Rudyard Kipling
