Do you believe that pet food from other counties safer than U.S. petfoods cause they aren't announced in our media? Find out if that's right in this episode.

In Season 2, the Pet Food Vet interviews veterinarians who have developed an expertise and understanding about pet food and the importance of giving pets safe pet food.  Here are  the stories of pets' recovery from illnesses when placed on human food chain sourced whole food diets.  Dr. Senestraro explains how whole unprocessed pet food is used to treat pets and adds years to older pets' lives. Dr. Senestraro is a holistic veterinarian who practices in the Seattle, WA area.  She is highly trained in alternative medicine and whole food diets.  Please visit her website and follow her blog. She is available for pet food diet consultations in Washington state.   Please leave a comment here about how you like our new interview format. If you have any questions about any of the topics discussed, please contact Dr. DeBonis at Pet Food Safety Veterinary Labs and Consulting. She is available for consultations with fellow veterinarians who may believe they are dealing with a contaminated pet food.  FOR VETERINARIANS:  If you have discovered a pet food recall, please contact Dr. DeBonis.  FOR PET OWNERS:  If your pet has suffered from contaminated pet food during a pet food recall please contact Dr. DeBonis.

Pet food can be contaminated by many things just like your food. Most commonly it can be contaminated by bad bacteria. 

In this episode, I tell people about the recent salmonell pet food recall by Midwestern Feed Mill. We talk about how Salmonella can cause illness and death  in people and their pets.   Salmonella can get cross contaminated onto many surfaces and mainly causes gastrointestinal signs.  Please be aware that children, particularly toddlers are at greateer risk because they get into pet food dishes.  There are  many ways pet owners can reach out to talk to me via email, messenger, or video consultations:   My website Pet Food Testing Lab: https://petfoodsafetyveterinarylab.com/contact/  Via my FaceBook PET FOOD VET page: https://www.facebook.com/PetFoodVet.info/  and on my PATREON https://www.patreon.com/PetFoodVet Please reach out for a one on one consultation with me, Dr. Donna--I would love to help you ensure the safety of your pet. 

Hello Pet Parents! In this episode, I tell people about the many ways they can reach out to talk to me via email, messenger, or video consultations: My website Pet Food Testing Lab: https://petfoodsafetyveterinarylab.com/contact/ Via my FaceBook PET FOOD VET page: https://www.facebook.com/PetFoodVet.info/ and on my PATREON https://www.patreon.com/PetFoodVet  I also remind people that pets and wildlife can suffer death from getting caught in the loops of disposable masks that are not thrown away into garbage. I encourage people to cut the loops on the disposable masks as well to render them less dangerous. 

Hello Pet Parents!  This is the description of pet food labels that help you understand what pet food companies are hiding! 

Pet owners are finally able to check for contaminants in their pet's food!    No longer are pet owners subjected to whatever marketing is on pet food labels Pet owners can now send samples directly to PET FOOD SAFETY VETERINARY LABS and Dr. Donna DeBonis will provide analysis, reports, and consultation. She will work with both pet owners and veterinarians.   Pet owners are paying a pretty penny for pet food--sometimes as much as $5 a pound for some 'ultra premium ' pet food. Now they can see exactly what their money is buying. They can check for ingredients, DNA of species, nutrient analysis, and also any poisons. Poisons are possible--remember melamine poisoning in 2007? How about euthanasia solution in pet food in 2018?  Aflatoxin (mold toxin)  in 2020 and 2019... and no end in sight. But YOU now have control by testing your pet's food! Animal feed supply chain does not operate under the same rules as the human food supply chain. That is why poisons get into pet food.  Test your pet's food at PET FOOD SAFETY VETERINARY LAB 

I know that you are caring pet parents or you wouldn't be here trying to learn about pet food. You are smart and logical and trying so hard to pick the best pet food.  You want pet food with healthy ingredients....but the labels do not tell the most important thing about ingredients!  Ingredients are sourced differently for animal(pet) feed than for human grade FOOD.  Please listen to this episode and do me a favor--enter your questions right on to this podcast so I can answer them!

PET FOOD VET interviews Shawn Buckley and Dr. Oscar Chavez about their newly published best seller, BIG KIBBLE. They give a tell -all behind-the-scenes interview about what ingredients go into animal feed grade pet food.  They explain the differences between animal feed grade ingredients and human  grade ingredients.  The most important takeaway is that animal feed grade ingredients contain dangerous germs and contaminants that are prohibited in human grade ingredients.  All kibble is manufactured with animal feed grade ingredients.  For more information about the dangers in kibble and other animal feed grade ingredients in pet foods like raw pet food, please go to www.petfoodvet.info .  The PET FOOD VET-Dr. Donna DeBonis is on PET FOOD VET FaceBook LIVE every Thursday at 1 pm PST.  See her there for more incredible videos about pet food safety.
