Popular Dog Foods Recalled

I wanted to post this here instead of Pet Lovers to make sure as many people see this as possible as some of the brands involved are well known:

I have to say this is a concern.

Can only think of one way for phenobarbital to be in there.

How sad that some sick person did this! There's no reason for phenobarbitol to be near or in the plant!

This is very sad and scary! Looks like all of the recalled dog food brands are on the 'below average' quality list from Dog Food Advisor earning just 1 star out of 5. The companies claim to be made in the USA, but their ingredients are imported. I hope no animals suffer from this. It's not the first time this drug has been found in dog food.

The attached link read: pentobarbital. Neither drug should be in dog food. It's a crying shame.

@Sunshine Kate It is most likely coming from horse meat....named as BEEF on the label. It is illegal to put horse meat in pet food....but.....

@momtochloe Thanks so much for posting this information. Luckily, we don't use dog food products from any of those brands, but I think my daughter does.

I am on the email list for Dog Food Advisor, and haven't received any notice about this at all.

I have been hearing this rumor for dog food but I really don't think People Magazine is a reputable magazine for us to believe "truthful" news.

You can choose to believe it or not because you don't like the source of the information, but Smuckers which owns some of these foods is voluntarily recalling them.

The original is source is my local ABC Investigative team in conjunction with reputable scientists and research labs. The only question still is how did this drug used for euthanasia's get into the food?

The drug is in there bc either dead, diseased, dying, downed, etc animals were euthanized with this drug and used in these dog foods. Thay are called “4 D meats”. These foods are garbage. Would never feed these to my dog.

@AmericanBulldogMom I just read the recall list, I thought the same thing - these brands of dog food and snacks are just garbage. Would never feed them to my pup.

Thank you @Sookie Says

My avatar is an artist rendering of Cecil, the Lion murdered by the American dentist who lured him off the animal preserve, wounded him, then tracked him until he could finally put the lovely animal out of his misery.

If you Google DogFoodAdvisor they offer a free alerts for such animal food issues. It's free, and I have never gotten a bit of spam from them.

Best wishes.

I think People is pretty reputable but they were reporting on an independent investigation, conducted by ABC7.

Thank you @momtochloe for this information. You are so kind thinking of these animals and our animal loving posters here. You are always so thoughtful!
