Pet Food That Makes Your Pet Ill

 

If you watch the news recently, you’ve seen the epidemic health crisis plaguing this nation’s cats and dogs in the early part of 2007: poisoned petfood that’s making pets ill.

Shortly after eating the tainted food, the animals have started suffering. These pets are having serious problems, including vomiting, lethargy, kidney failure and death for some animals. Though few animals have died (a couple dozen) the issue has affected many dog and cat lovers.

At first, people believed that the problem was a substance in rat poison in the food supply, namely the chemical aminopterin. Aminopterin is used for chemotherapy. While New York officials stated this, the FDA never confirmed the matter.
