RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) – Pictures from worried pet owners have been circulating the Internet over the past few days, claiming to show wire-like objects lodged in their Pedigree brand dog food!
“I decided to check the bag I have, since my dog has been eating more grass and having stomach issues,” said Samantha Barrett in a Send It To 12 photo, “and sure enough almost every piece of food had these black (and some lighter color) hairs coming out of them. Some people think it is wire some think it is pig/cow hair but it is pretty sharp.”
Another viewer sent a photo clearly showing a thin, black fiber sticking out of a piece of dog food, saying the objects were found in “every single piece.”
