As someone mentioned above, our dogs are in the dirt and often chew on a little stick....all things where you are going to find naturally occurring arsenic. It's even in our drinking water.
I agree. Right now, it sounds like they really don't know what is an acceptable level of arsenic in foods, arsenic is naturally occurring in the earth, but too much can hurt us. This time we can't blame China, it's the California rice with the highest level. They are trying to learn what are the safe levels for humans, and hopefully, the safe level for dogs.
