I found something out today that really mad me MAD

So LISTEN UP DOG LOVERS.....

First, let me preface this by saying, that as humans, we can read labels and CHOOSE to consume food or drinks that have a "warning" label or contain questionable ingredients. Our pets can't do this and rely on us to give them safe food.

That being said.....I learned today that certain DOG FOODS contain "propylene glycol"...one of the ingredients in ANTI-FREEZE!! It's been linked to kidney and liver failure in dogs with extended use. Propylene glycol is used as aircraft de-icing fluid. It's also sold under the name of RV or marine antifreeze. It's able to lower the freezing point of water.

According to the FDA..Propylene glycol is an approved food additive for dog food under the category of animal feed and is generally recognized as safe for dogs.

Similarly, propylene glycol is an approved food additive for human food as well.

The exception is that it is prohibited for use in food for cats due to links to Heinz body anemia. (It reduces the red blood cell survival time, renders red blood cells more susceptible to oxidative damage, and has other adverse effects in cats consuming the substance at levels found in soft-moist food.)

ALSO, Propylene glycol is known to exert high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) during degradation in surface waters. This process can adversely affect aquatic life by consuming oxygen needed by aquatic organisms for survival.
It's also contained in a lot of cleaners, creams, pharmaceuticals etc.

I just find it hard to believe that anything that is a main ingredient in anti-freeze and can deplete a water source of oxygenis ok to ingest......

READ YOUR LABELS!! —
