Abstract
In 2020, hundreds of thousands of dogs in Chile were exposed to toxic copper levels in commercial dog food, exceeding the legal copper limit tenfold. We report three fatal hepatic cirrhosis cases after at least three months of consumption of this product. All showed advanced stage liver injury, micro and macroscopic lesions, and high hepatic copper levels.
