Warning....not only will you be shocked but appaled from video...But you need to see this!!!



Does Your Dog Food Include Euthanized Dog?

[SerenityFL]

Jeez...that was hard to watch. I always suspected that the rumors were true. And it makes me tear up thinking about how I got my cat euthanized after he got old and was sick...and didn't take him home...did he end up in a pile of dead bodies, get ground up and then put in to pet food? UGH! Makes me sick to my stomach and heart to think about it. I'm sorry, Xaxu. I should have brought you home and buried you.

Even when I didn't know much about pet food, I always wondered what, exactly, "protein meal" and "meat meal" really was.

All I can hope for is that people continue to wake up and see what is going on and change their pets' diets.

(And I could never do that job no matter how desperate for work I was.)

Edit: What also ticks me off about this is that if you go to the butcher at the store and ask them to give you pieces of meat they aren't selling, that they are going to throw away, so you can give it to your pets, they won't give it to you. But they are more than happy to give away those pieces as well as their garbage and let it be put in to pet food. WTF!

Yes, how annoying is that! They throw away perfectly good meat for dogs instead of putting it to good use!

I actually didn't watch the video... I saw the title and decided against it!

What about Pedigree for dogs and Whiskas for cats? These are considered high quality pet foods. Are they legit?

I've decided not to watch this video. Some things I just can't stomach and from what I am reading this is one of them! Now exactly what dog foods is this in then. I just cant watch it sorry guys!

Ok... I doubt anyone on this forum actually feeds 4-D meats or unnamed meat and bone meals. I find this post to be inflamattory and offensive, if someone chose to feed kibble, its their choice. If you want to post this, post in in general topic forum. I'm sure you'd get offended if I went to a raw section and said " its time to think about switching back to kibble.." for whatever reason.

Agreed!

Personally, I couldn't bring myself to watch the video.

However, I submitted the link/video to Snopes & asked them to verify it.

Actually you will be surprised. There are 4-D meats and other unnamed things in all kibbles. For example ... a named meal only has to have more than half it's contents come from the named animal. Chicken meal can be called chicken meal if over 1/2 the ingredients are chicken. You can have 49% other stuff including 4-D meats and it still be called chicken meal. Actually I have no problem feeding my dogs 4-D meats. I have many times.

I don't find this thread inflamitory at all. I find it informative. It's about dry and canned dog food and I don't know another forum it would be more suited for. If I had been the person starting this thread this is where I'd put it.

Ive moved this thread so that feelings aren't hurt. Even though this video is based on factual evidence. It's a part of kibble feeding that is a reality.
