Dog food recall! Euthanasia drug in food.

[Lilyhoney]

DETROIT — Evanger's is voluntarily recalling some of its dog food after a drug that is used to anesthetize or put down pets was found in it.

Pentobarbital was found in one lot of the dog food; five dogs got sick and one died, according to the Wheeling, Ill.-based company.

Fifteen states are affected by the Hunk of Beef Au Jus recall. The 12-ounce cans were manufactured June 6-13 and sold in stores and online in Washington, California, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

As a precaution, Evanger's is recalling Hunk of Beef products manufactured the same week, with lot numbers that start with 1816E03HB, 1816E04HB, 1816E06HB, 1816E07HB and 1816E13HB, and expire June 2020. The second half of the barcode on the back of the label says 20109. The ill and deceased dogs ate from the 1816E06HB13 lot.

3. This is outrageous! How does this poison get in dog food? How?

God damn this infuriates me. Poor, poor animals.

5. I KNOW!!!!!

I used to think Evangers was a good brand, I topped my picky dog's dry food with it sometimes. I would just lose it if this happened to one of my dogs.

4. Pento is a class II drug

Highly controlled. It must have come from euthanized horses or cows is my guess.
