| | 'Wires' Found In Popular Dog Food
By Caitlin Jill Anders Source: thedodo.com
Mealtime is most dogs' favorite time of the day, and they trust that what we're giving them is safe — and we trust that too. But a bunch of dog owners had that trust broken recently when they found what appeared to be tiny wires in Pedigree brand dry dog food.
Pedigree has made statements that, after extensive testing, they've found that the "wires" are not wires at all, but naturally occurring meat fibers.
But some people have reported that their dogs have become ill after eating the Pedigree food, or have just refused to eat it altogether, which should say something — some dogs will eat just about anything. On every new Facebook post Pedigree makes, more and more concerned people are commenting, sharing their stories of finding the "wires" and warning others against buying the brand.
The brand had recently changed its recipe, advertising a "new meatier recipe" on Twitter back in June:

On the homepage of Pedigree's website is a tweet addressing the concerns of their customers

P.S.I would never advise that you feed Pedigree to your pets, or any other significant others..
I do suggest that you make some of your pet's food at home.
You know the ingredients, your pet likes it, and you can add specific health boosting nutrients ( such as yoghurt..)
