FDA Alerts Pet Owners, Vets To Possible Link Between Jerky Treats, Dogs Getting Sick
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — There’s a new federal health alert for dog owners.
Several brands of the jerky treats were voluntarily removed from store shelves back in January.
Now, the Food and Drug Administration is asking pet owners and veterinarians to contact them if their pet has become ill after eating jerky pet treats.
At least 3,600 dogs have been sickened since 2007 and 580 of those pets died.
If it says ‘made in china’ just avoid the product. To allow over 500 dogs to die and for the US govt to do nothing is unconscionable.
