The Alarming Toxic Chemicals Lurking Inside Pet Food Bags

• The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released a report recently that proves the presence — at high levels in some cases — of potentially toxic chemicals in pet food bags
• These chemicals, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are ubiquitous in the environment (air, soil, drinking water, household dust); humans and animals absorb PFAS and the chemicals remain in their bodies for many years, if not life
• In 2020, researchers discovered the presence of PFAS at levels of exposure above the minimum risk level in the feces of dogs and cats living in New York State
• Earlier research uncovered a possible link between PFAS blood levels and hyperthyroidism in cats 10 years and older, but these chemicals have also been linked to other endocrine problems as well as infertility and immune system dysregulation
• There are several steps you can take to limit your family’s exposure to PFAS; also consider taking action to reduce your animal companion’s chemical load
