Organic Pet Food Recall/Euthanasia drug

[ Edited ]

An organic pet food company has issued a massive recall after one of their products tested positive for a drug commonly used to euthanize animals.

 

Party Animal recalled two types of canned dog food after samples were said to be positive for pentobarbital, the company said.

 

The West Hollywood-based firm recalled 13 ounce cans of Cocolicious Beef & Turkey dog food and Cocolicious Chicken & Beef dog food after it said a customer in Texas had samples tested on April 13.

 

They came back positive for the euthanasia drug, prompting Party Animal to withdraw items from the shelves.

 

A website called TruthAboutPetFood says it saw the test results.

 

The customer in Texas had the food tested because her foster dog got sick.

 

Party Animal said they were sorry about the 'discomfort' experienced by pets and are taking the matter seriously. 

 

'The safety of pets is and always will be our first priority. We sincerely regret the reports of the discomfort experienced by the pet who consumed this food. As pet parents ourselves, we take this matter seriously,' company officials said in a statement.

 IT IS NOT BEEF BUT HORSEMEAT.  That is what is in this food

 

 All of these recalls are because the companies are purchasing the so called BEEF and they are getting HORSEMEAT.   So, it is the fault of the companies NOT TESTING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE GETTING BEEF AND NOT HORSEMEAT.   These tests should be performed everyday!

 

 It reminds me of that comercial where the old lady yells WHERES THE BEEF??!!

Time for these companies suppling our pets with food to start to be more accountable about what they are selling and that what is on the label is what is in the food.  Killing our pets is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!
