Pet Care Tip #257: Don’t Feed Your Pet Rat Poison

Want your pet to grow strong and have a shiny coat? Here’s a tip on how to accomplish that: don’t feed her rat poison.

The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets claims to have discovered rat poison in the canned food that has been killing cats and dogs across America.

The FDA says that the reason for the deaths is still unclear, but here is my guess: it might be the poison! While tasty to cats and dogs it has a nasty side effect of causing death. Perhaps it’s time for the FDA to force pet food (and human food) companies to clearly state the amount of daily allowed poison per serving on the label.

Wondering who Menu Foods Income Fund supplies to? Well, there are about one hundred brands of cat and dog food to worry about. Chances are, if you feed your pet canned food, you need to buy different food. Or start making your own.
