Apparently so. According to a recent study by the Environmental Working Group, our pets actually have higher concentrations of common toxins than we do. 60 dogs and cats were tested for toxins frequently found in humans and not only did their little bodies contain the chemicals, but they had higher concentrations than humans of 43 chemicals tested.
According to the article, “EWG pet health study spurs launch of new organization” at Enviroblog, “They found 48 of the 70 chemicals they looked for, including PCBs, PBDEs, phthalates, and heavy metals, and lots of other stuff.”
Our pets seem to absorb the toxins the same way we do, through air, water and food pollution.
