POISONED PET FOOD AND TAINTED TOOTHPASTE TOO:
The Itchmo Blog has established a regular procedure for submitting pet foo samples that pet owners may think are contaminated by unwanted chemicals. Itchmo has established a special board for posting, coordinating and sharing results about pet food tests. Go to the link for further details. Also a new article on the Pet Connection site says that there may be yet another contaminant in pet food- acetaminophen. They quote an article in the Pittsburgh Tribune as to this matter. Acetaminophen is particularly toxic to cats. The best that Molly can make out from this news item is that the drug was added to foods that claim "arthritis relief". I might be wrong on this, but this is my supposition.
