Another company issues recall after euthanasia drug found in dog food – KATU

Another company has issued a voluntary recall after a drug sometimes used to euthanize pets was found in one of its batches.

Against the Grain pet food announced the recall of one lot of their Pulled Beef with Gravy dinner for dogs that was manufactured and distributed in 2015.

Pentobarbital, a drug that is often used to euthanize pets, was found in lot number 2415E01ATB12 (the second half of the UPC code is 80001, which can be found on the back of the product label) with an expiration date of December 2019.

If a pet consumes Pentobarbital, they could experience side effects like dizziness, excitement, nausea, inability to stand and coma. In some occasions, it could lead to death.

No complaints have been filed to Against the Grain about the food.

Earlier this month, Evanger's issued a similar voluntary recall after Pentobarbital was found in a batch of their food. A Washington woman said Evanger's Hunk of Beef sickened her pugs, even killing one of them.
