Hong kong reopening could mean big bucks for the pet food industry

Is your dog’s food bag lined with poison?

The Environmental Working Group has identified PFAs or per- and polyfluoroalkyls in pet food bags. 

PFAs are man-made chemicals that have been used in products since the 1940s. 

While the EWG’s research found PFAS in the pet food bags, they haven’t made any conclusions about them being transferred to the pet food but there have been many studies done that prove this is possible.

Purina Cat Chow Complete Chicken had the highest concentration of total PFAS at 245 parts per billion followed by Kibbles n’ Bits Bacon and Steak flavor.  

PFAs have been linked with cancers and infertility in humans and can remain in the body for years and sometimes life because it is broken down so slowly.  This is one reason why PFAS are referred to as ‘forever chemicals’ most humans in the US and pets have PFAs in their bodies.

It is well known that Paris Hilton is an avid dog lover, so when one of her beloved pooches escaped out of an open door she turned to the one source she thought would bring him home, a psychic, 7 to be exact.

All of her pet psychics have informed Paris that her missing pup is still very much alive, however, others think otherwise with one person believing she was eaten by an alligator.

Paris is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can bring her precious chihuahua, Diamond Baby, home.

Paris was even prepared to offer a much more substantial reward but was advised against it by her security team.  She tells her 20 million Instagram followers that “For those of you asking, I was about to raise the price of the reward to a crazy number, but my security team said not to because that would put my other dogs and myself in danger, as they might become targets for some sick creep that might try and kidnap them for a reward”.
