Several major dog food brands have been voluntarily recalled in the U.S. after testing uncovered small amounts of a euthanasia drug.
The U.S. FDA says low levels of pentobarbital were found in cans of Gravy Train dog food, produced by the JM Smucker’s company. As a result the company has issued a voluntary recall for various wet dog food products.
The company says while veterinarians and animal nutrition specialists have confirmed that extremely low levels of this substance do not pose a threat to pet safety, its presence at any level is not acceptable and not up to its quality standards.
The complete list of products being recalled is available online.
Canadians can report any health or safety incidents related to the use of these products by filling out a consumer product incident report form.
