Update on Chicken Jerky Treats

Nearly 1,000 dogs reportedly have been sickened by chicken jerky pet treats from China.  The Food and Drug Administration has logged some 900 reports of illnesses and deaths since November, when it warned owners about continued problems with the products known variously as chicken jerky strips, treats and nuggets.

Despite repeated tests since 2007, FDA scientists have been unable to detect any toxin responsible for the animal illnesses, officials said. The agency has asked certain pet owners to send in samples of suspect treats along with their animals' veterinary records.

Three top brands of chicken jerky treats were among those most recently cited by pet owners and veterinarians. They included Waggin’ Train, Canyon Creek Ranch brands, and Milo’s Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats.

In light of this, we are advising our clients to discontinue feeding these brands until they can be confirmed to be safe as well as any other treat/biscuit/food manufactured in China.  Baby carrots and green beans also make wonderful treats.
