This humane treatment option may become a new trend, but so far it's only available in a few states, like this one. Now animals can receive critical care in time to save their life or relieve suffering. But there's an important caveat you should know — what the new law does not allow.

Portrayed as healthy, nutritious, and balanced, the truth is that your cat or dog wouldn't touch it short of starvation - because of this concoction they add to it. You wouldn't believe what's in the concoction, or its uncanny link to certain human foods. Caution is certainly in order.

You probably avoid this based on an old wives' tale that completely flies in the face of reality. And your pet is the one that ends up suffering unnecessarily. So do her a big favor — get the current recommendation for this and ease her suffering. She'll lick you in appreciation.
