đ Extremely High Levels of Hard Metals Found in Dog Food - Clean Label Project https://cleanlabelproject.org/dog-food-study/
đ Dog food contains âalarmingâ levels of lead, mercury and other contaminants | CNN https://edition.cnn.com/2026/02/12/health/dog-food-toxins-wellness

A new investigation found commercial dog food may contain alarming levels of heavy metals and toxins. The Clean Label Project tested popular brands and reported higher levels of lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, BPA, plastics, and acrylamide in kibble compared to fresh or frozen dog food. Research from Cornell University suggests dogs may ingest 3â7 times more heavy metals from pet food than people do from human food.
Dry dog food showed significantly higher contaminant levels, including elevated lead and mercury, plus acrylamide formed during high-heat extrusion. BPA and plastic-related chemicals were also more common in kibble packaging. Heavy metals can accumulate in the liver and kidneys and are linked to cancer, chronic disease, and immune dysfunction.
In this video, Dr. Andrew Jones breaks down what the study found, why ultra-processed kibble may increase toxic load, and what you can do to reduce your dogâs exposure. Learn practical steps such as rotating fresh foods, choosing brands that test for contaminants, and considering balanced home-prepared diets.
Whatâs in your dogâs bowl matters. Reducing daily toxin exposure may lower long-term health risks.
