I’m sure there is worse stuff in the food or most of the foods we eat. Based on what people say just about every thing will cause cancer. I stopped giving cherrios as treats a few years back because Callie is the only one who ate them. If I get a craving for cherrios though I’m probably still going to eat them.
The difference is that arsenic is a chemical element that if found naturally occurring in soil. Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide and crop desiccant that is developed in a lab and applied to plants.

I don’t trust studies because they only make public the ones that prove their point, on either side.

My main concern with glyphosate in foods is that the acceptable levels are determined for humans, not our small dogs who weigh a fraction of what a human weighs. So maybe safe for us, not so much for them.

All dog owners also have to be careful walking their dogs being sure to keep them off of areas treated with Roundup.
