Fluoride - dangerously high levels found in pet food - Examiner Posted: 19 May 2010 12:36 AM PDT Pet food has a new level of danger hiding behind its labels. Environmental Working Group (EWG) just released a new study that showed high levels of fluoride in eight of ten pet foods tested. Consuming fluoride can lead to many serious health concerns. When selecting a pet food, fluoride levels is not something most people would look for on the label, however when you consider the latest study published by EWG, fluoride contamination appears to be a risk with some pet foods.  "Eight of 10 dog food brands tested by an independent laboratory commissioned by Environmental Working Group (EWG) contain fluoride in amounts up to 2.5 times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) national drinking water standard."  http://www.ewg.org/node/28070 The problem is with pet foods and even people foods, is that the fluoride level is not mentioned anywhere on the label. Most of the fluoride contamination in dog food comes from an unsavory mix of bone meal and various meat byproducts added to dog food. The 8 high-fluoride brands list ingredients that include chicken by-product meal, poultry by-product meal, chicken meal, beef and bone meal.

Authorities say skunk, dog positive for rabies - Examiner Posted: 18 May 2010 02:49 PM PDT Authorities are advising pet owners to vaccinate their pets and remain on guard after a skunk captured in Royal Oak and a dog in Southfield tested positive for rabies. Larry Obrecht, division manager for Oakland County Animal Control, says a positive test on an animal like the skunk recently trapped in Royal Oak and later euthanized is not unusual. Oakland County said Tuesday a dog in Southfield also recently tested positive for rabies. Obrecht tells The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak that skunks, bats and raccoons are carriers of the untreatable disease that affects the central nervous system and brain, causing malaise then abnormally hyperactive behavior. Obrecht said pet owners should call animal control officials if they see nocturnal animals acting unusually during the day.
