Mercy.
That got my attention!

“Did you know, euthanized pets are used to make dog food?”

Ever heard this claim and wondered if there's any truth in it? Here's the lowdown... 🧐

In 1998, 2017 & 2018, a euthanasia drug called pentobarbital was discovered in pet food. The only way this drug gets into pet food is if the bodies of euthanized animals have been turned into food.

Before you panic, two things:

1. In the US, it’s against FDA guidelines for dog food manufacturers to knowingly use euthanized animals in their pet food products. So too, the FDA has a zero tolerance policy for any amount of pentobarbital in pet food (Food Safety Modernization Act). That is, it's illegal for pet foods to contain this drug in any amount, no matter how small.

2. Even when pentobarbital has been found in pet food, this is very likely to be from euthanized livestock, like cattle, accidentally finding their way into the pet food chain. In 1998, 2000 and 2004, pet foods that had tested positive for pentobarbital were tested for the presence of cat & dog DNA. There were no traces of cats or dogs in any of the samples.

So, should you worry about euthanized cats & dogs being turned into dog food?

The short answer is no.

Hello,
Occasionally, we get bad/fraud reviews on Google and we have a doozy on there by a man that owns 2 of our dogs and just bought a 3rd that I refunded after payment to decline the purchase (safety concerns have come to light so I am limiting details).

Unfortunately, I am learning a lesson of not everyone is a friend(ly). I love my customers and often we spend many emails and texts about your life experiences or even parts of my life. I put a lot of effort in just talking to our customers. Unfortunately, This has gone really bad and now I understand the importance of boundaries and how dangerous this could get as I do indeed work with "Strangers".
Thank you all.....It is what it is. Lesson learned.

Our HRK family is strong and I need your help fighting the good fight! Often your GOOD NAME is worth its weight in GOLD.
Write a review on GOOGLE AND OR YELP please link and QR code provided. Thank you.
