Consumer Reports tests reveal safety concerns in popular dog food brands

A new investigation by Consumer Reports tested 58 popular dog food brands to assess their safety and nutritional content. While most met basic standards, some raw foods contained harmful bacteria, raising concerns for pet owners. One product, Pedigree’s Complete Nutrition Adult Roasted Chicken, was found to have nearly five times the safe limit of vitamin D, which can be toxic to dogs. Pedigree has not commented on the findings. Experts recommend consulting with veterinarians when choosing dog food. They advise looking for products that meet standards set by the Association of American Feed Control Officials and being cautious with raw diets.
