Sophia Jalilvand: Yet another dog food lot recalled because it may contain euthanasia drug

Summary: Party Animals, which is a California-based pet food maker, is recalling two lots from its line of Cocolicious dog foods after some cans in Texas were tested to have pentobarbital, which is a chemical that's used to euthanize animals.
"The recalled cans are:
The 13-ounce can of Cocolicious Beef & Turkey dog food, lot number 0136E1520404, manufactured in 2015 with an expiration date of July 2019.
And the 13-ounce-can of Cocolicious Chicken & Beef dog food, lot number 0134E15 23713, manufactured in 2015 with an expiration date of August 2019."

Analysis: If any of you pet owners use Party Animals pet food, I suggest you not use it. It is so devestating when toxins are found in pet food because our pets cannot tell that the food tastes different or they cannot tell us that their stomach hurts. Often, pet owners notice something is wrong when it is already too late. Hopefully the recalled cans are the only ones with pentobarbital in them and no more dogs will be hurt.

  1. I hope that every dog owner can be alerted of the recall, and that these situations can be avoided in the future.

  2. Kiri Luckey: This is scary! Pet owners/dog owners need to be more aware of what type of food they are giving their animals.
