That brings up an interesting polling type question. What do Freepers feed their dogs?
I personally know several dogs eating Beneful on a daily basis with no issues.
Some a-hole probably poisoned his dogs and it was coincidence.
Ethylene glycol is in anti-freeze not propylene glycol. World of difference. Ethylene G is sweet and dogs will lap it up if they get access to it. Kills them quick. Don’t drain your radiator out on the driveway without hosing it out into the grass etc.
I feed my dog high quality food like Hill’s Scientific Diet or Merrick’s Whole Earth Farms.
Premium dog food can be competitively priced with grocery store brand dog food and the cost is usually $1.50 a day for two or three servings.
Purina is the cheapest food you can buy your dog.
Sigh. Antifreeze is made from ethylene glycol, an extremely toxic chemical that will destroy an animal’s (including human) kidneys when very, very small amounts are consumed.
Propylene glycol is an approved food additive that isgenerally recognized as safe for human consumption(though like all food additives that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s parfticularly wholesome, just that it won’t kill you).
There’s a BIG difference between these two chemicals. Just like there’s a big difference between ethanol and methanol: the former makes you drunk and the latter will kill you.
My dogs are large farm mutts. They exist solely to prevent criminals from making entry into the garage and back side of the house.
I buy their food according to price. Under a certain price point they do not like it.
I train them using puffed Cheetos.

Don’t ever by anything Nestle. They are bad, bad and bad.
