Healthy Dog Club

Recent recalls have uncovered a new concern regarding adulterants contained in dog food. The most recent case involves the recall of Evanger’s canned beef dog food.

Surprisingly, the lowly penny can become a lethal weapon against dogs – specifically pennies minted after 1982. Although all pennies are equal in value – one one cent, no matter what year it is – their compositions are not.
