Pet Foods Testing
Dogs and cats are the most common pets seen in most households. They are considered a close family member and has a special place in everyone’s heart. Taking good care of a pet’s health plays a very important role.
Why do you need to test your pet’s food?
Pets are served with canned food, biscuits, packed foods, etc. These days pet foods are adulterated with chemicals and preservatives in order to increase the shelf life of the products.
Toxic chemicals like pentobarbital, aflatoxin, vitamin D, and melamine which are used in the manufacture of plastics are added to the manufacture of pet foods, especially canned foods. Cats and dogs are particularly sensitive to this toxin.
Sometimes pet foods are contaminated with pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella or Listeria monocytogene, E coli, Neorickettsia, Vibrio, Yersinia, Campylobacter spp, etc. Some pet foods are made from diseased animals, pig ears, raw chicken, and dried meat.
Prolonged consumption of these commercial pet foods leads to various health issues in pets like thiamine deficiency, severe gastrointestinal signs, septicemia, and kidney parenchyma, leading to the deaths and illnesses from renal disease, vitamin D toxicosis, lethargy, vomiting, icterus, anorexia, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
