Dog Food Recall Due to Euthanasia Drug

In Iowa there isn't a real concern about this dog food recall. If you live in California though, there is a serious concern. Coco Licious, a small dog food based company if California is recalling their dog food due to some cans coming back testing positive for pentobarbital. Pentobarbital is serious because this is a drug that is used to euthanize dogs (put them down). Right now there is no confirmed deaths to any pets, but if smaller dogs do eat this dog food there is enough pentobarbital for them to die. 

1) If you regularly bought this dog food, would you continue buying or switch dog food brands? Why or why not?

2) What kind of compensation should people get that buy this product?

I would not continue to buy this because obviously this dog food brand isn't serious about the safety of the pets of the owners they sell to.

I think everyone that buys this needs to get their money back and if their dog gets sick they should sue.

    • I agree that everyone should stop buying this dog food because it can make their dogs sick and possibly die. I agree that the people should get their money back, and the company could be sued because of this

  • I would change products immediately because it would mean phenobarbital is in their factory and may linger on their machines so it could affect future products. I believe they should be given money towards other products.  

    • I agree i didnt think that the drug could still possibly be left on their machines and could possibly still get into their products. I agree that they should also get a refund

  • I would switch to a different dog food of course because if i knew there was any chance of my dog dying from this i wouldn't want to take that chance. I dont think they should get anything because they chose which brand they wanted and they cant help that it could be a deadly brand.

    • I agree with you that i would probably never buy this dog food brand again because i want to keep my pets safe. I think that they should get their money back because it is the companies fault. Also dog food should NEVER have a possibility of being deadly, that is the companies fault

  • I would look into buying a differnet dog food so people dont put their dogs at risk of death. People also should get some kind of money back for this if their dog gets really sick. 

    • I agree i would not want to buy the same dog food if this could happen again

      I also think they should get some kind of refund

  • I would get a different brand right away so my dog doesn't get sick or even die. I feel that those who bought this kind of dog food should get some money back if there dog got really sick. Im glad they caught this.

    • I agree with you i would switch dog food brands immediately because i wouldnt want my dog to get sick or die. I also feel that they should get a refund for buying the food

    • I agree with you that they should switch dog food brands

      They should get their money back because no one should pay for dog food that could kill their pet
