Please note limitations on pickups.
NOTE: FDA regulations require the prevention of drug residue in products derived from rendered material. All species of animals euthanized with barbiturates, including pentobarbital, cannot be rendered and should be separated and identified if pickup has been arranged. Preventing Pentobarbital Residues (National Renderers Association)
EQUINE OWNERS: Some renderers may reject equine euthanized via barbiturates in order to comply with FDA regulations. If rendering equine is the best option, consider other methods of euthanasia. Alternative Euthanasia Protocols for Large Animals (Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory)
