Brumby Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I can't attest to the correctness of this information but thought I would share it in any case. I read the following on facebook WARNING!!!!! It was on Fox news earlier that 70 dogs have died as a result of eating chicken jerky treats made from chicken that has come from China. Kingdom Pets brand from Costco is one of them. Also certain Blue Buffalo brand pet foods have a recall for the same thing. Please re post and make sure all your doggie friends are aware of this plz share. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) I also psted this in the rescue thread about the same thing. It seems it is exaggerated and it applies to the US. http://www.foxnews.c...y-be-dangerous/ The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about chicken jerky treats saying they may be associated with illness in dogs. According to the FDA, there has been an increase in the number of dog illnesses reported in the past 12 months associated with the jerky products imported from China. Although the agency has not identified a specific product, the statement says, "Chicken jerky products should not be substituted for a balanced diet and are intended to be fed occasionally in small quantities." Warnings about this product started back in 2007. Edited November 27, 2011 by ~Anne~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne I'd never feed my dog chicken jerky made in China anyway as I don't trust their use of pesticides and preservatives. I make my own treats for them these days so I know what's in them.

Boronia Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I wonder if this is old news or new news. Either way, rule of thumb says that you don't buy treats from China http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/dogtreat.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
