Pentobarbital, a powerful and potentially deadly sedative, has been found in small quantities in dog food brands manufactured by the J.M. “ Pentobarbital is a barbiturate drug that is most commonly used in animals as a sedative, anesthetic, or for euthanasia, ” the FDA said in the news release. “ The low level of pentobarbital present in the withdrawn products is unlikely to pose a health risk to pets ," the FDA said. The complete list of tainted food brands is contained in the news release. It goes without saying that you should not feed your dog any withdrawn lots of the potentially tainted food, and contact J.M.
