    To those unaware, as I was, while both substances are antifreeze- propylene glycol is considered safe to pets and is a realtive of ethylene glycol which is pure poison for humans and pets (lost a cat to it many years ago, not pretty, neighbors were unaware). Still it,PG, is an approved additive for dog foods, but not cat food by the FDA. It’s also used in a lot of human foods. Yuck

    Thank you for this topic. I had three bags of this poison in my pantry, and after seeing “propylene glycol” mentioned as an ingredient by another poster, ran incredulously to confirm. Not only is it an ingredient, it is the 8th listed. What the heck is anti-freeze doing in something for pets?!?!?

    If not for this topic thread I could be amongst the other posters who have lost their beloved pets. My heart goes out to them. I have been reading these forums to better educate myself about the nutrition in pet foods, as one of my five dogs went from 17 up to 24 pounds in one year. Obviously to my husband and I, “we” are completely to blame as the Beagles, while as smart as whips, cannot reach the pantry door or figure another way in to the food (thank goodness, or we would be doomed). They, and I, thank you for the recommendation of beef trachea treats, as an alternative to the fattening Greenies.

    May this thread warn other pet parents, and I for one will be reading all ingredient lists with a very careful eye.
