I've read here and there about some toxic ingredient in some dog foods...I think it starts with an "M". I most recently heard it mentioned that Kirklands Lamb and rice has it but the chicken and rice doesn't?
My pup is on Wolf Cub, but I need to switch him to an adult food and I want to keep my eye out for this ingredient (and check wolf king). Thanks. |

(NaturalNews) While it's a little noticed pet food ingredient, Menadione Sodium Bisulfate (and its many named variations) is one ingredient to look out for and avoid. This ingredient is commonly found in many dog foods, cat foods, and treats. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the best reputation for being a safe or useful pet food ingredient. Since there are alternatives for pet food makers to use, it makes you wonder why some put our pets at risk. Menadione Sodium Bisulfate is a synthetic version of vitamin K. You'll see it within the fine print of many pet food ingredient lists. In addition, of course, it's not as simple to find as it should be. Some pet food ingredient lists will say 'menadione', some will say 'sodium bisulfate', and some will mention vitamin K3 in parenthesis -- and these are just a few of the possible variations you have to look for. This ingredient is added to pet foods and treats as an inexpensive source of vitamin K. In people, deficiencies of vitamin K can lead to blood clotting, particularly in the stomach, and can lead to intestinal complications Learn more: Menadione Sodium Bisulfate: A Pet Food Ingredient to Be Wary of
