| Potentially Toxic Ingredient in Dog Food It is menadione, a synthetic form of Vitamin K (vitamin K3) It also goes by several names in ingredient lists: Menadione sodium bisulfate Menadione sodium bisulfite Menadione dimethylprimidinol sulfate Menadione dimethylprimidinol sulfite Menadione dimethylprimidinol bisulfite Dimethylprimidinol sulfate Dimethylprimidinol sulfite Dimethylprimidinol bisulfate Vitamin K supplement Menadione supplements for humans have been banned in the US. The Troubling Controversy Over Menadione in Dog Food The Dog Food Project - Menadione (Vitamin K3) Some pretty surprising brands contain menadione like Newman' Own, Rachel's Ray's Nutrish, and Life's Abundance.

| Wow, that's scary! Do you happen to know off-hand if Acana has it? I'm looking at the ingreedients online now because the food is in a container not the bag, and there are so many names for it lol. Thanks again for posting this! |

| OMG! Both of the foods I am feeding my furbaby did not get good reviews!!! And one my vet recommended. Help! What do I need to switch to? My mom was reading about Blue. Also, Rosie has a sensitive stomach. Any suggestions?

For dry food, I have been feeding her Bil Jac which scored a 0! And then the vet put her on Science Diet, canned food. It also has a 0! I am absolutely sick right now. And neither of these are cheap. I am paying $26 for 12 cans of Science Diet and $18 a bag for Bil Jac. I will be changing ASAP.

I also sprinkle a digestive enzyme (Prozyme) on his food with each feeding.
