"It might surprise some dog owners to know that dog meat has been used in dog food. This practice was relatively common until the late 1990's. Even today there are no laws preventing man's best friend from ending up in dog food." "Please note the below information on dead dogs being used in dog food is true to the United States but may also occur in Canada and possibly other countries." "At some time or another pet food companies realized there was a cheap source of meat available... Dog Meat, and it could be purchased cheaply from animal shelters and the dog pound. These were places where dogs were euthanized weekly and there was always a need to dispose of the bodies. Nobody said anything and there were no laws preventing such from happening." "However what started to tip the scales was that the veterinarians who performed the euthanasias at the animal shelters started noticing it was taking more and more drugs to put these animals to sleep. They realized that somehow pets in animal shelters were building up an immunity to the medications used to end their lives. Typically veterinarians are called to shelters every week to euthanize between 10 and 200 animals (or more in larger centers) so this was where they saw the problems develop quite easily."

"As such several investigations were launched to see how pets were building up immunities to the drugs. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) launched an investigation. They found that sodium pentobarbital (the drug often used to euthanize pets) passed through the rendering process and ended up in pet food. They admitted finding the drug in some pet foods and stated 'several retail feeds were confirmed for the presence of phentobarbital which could only have come from euthanized animals.' Most of these investigations were exposed by television news groups such as Seattle's King 5, and KMOV in St. Louis, Missouri." "What they exposed was something that many people already knew - dead dogs were being used to make dog food. Many animal shelters are government run. These poorly funded shelters found a way of generating extra income and disposing of the animal bodies all at once---Sell them cheaply to a [pet food] rendering plant. You will note your local SPCA probably does not do this."This account suggests that the FDA already knows dog meat in dog food is an ongoing problem, and the FDA also knows that euthanized dogs, whose bodies contain the euthanasia drug, are used for dog food. This is not a new discovery or a puzzling problem. If the FDA is scratching its collective head and trying to solve a mystery, that would be a pose. It would be like saying, on a human level, "Well, we know several companies have been polluting the water and soil of a town for years, and the chemicals are exceedingly toxic and dangerous, but we're not sure where the cancer clusters are coming from. Much more investigation is needed." It appears we're looking at a situation where all the parties---government animal shelters, veterinarians, pet food rendering plants, pet food companies, and the FDA---know exactly what's going on...and say nothing, or pretend surprise when a new case of dogs eating drug-poisoned dog meat shows up. The FDA is famous for ignoring their own responsibility, when a medical drug they've approved, as safe and effective, starts killing people. Apparently, this same know-nothing attitude applies to pets and the euthanasia drug they're ingesting. I wonder how many humans, living on the extreme margins, eating pet food, have succumbed...
