If you have chicken jerky treats for the dog, it might be a good idea to put them in the trash. There has been a warning issued:
“Washington — Chicken jerky treats may have sickened dozens of dogs, federal health officials warned Wednesday despite failing to find any trace of contamination.”

There have been so many recalls that pet owners may think of making their own treats. There are numerous recipes that can be found on the internet. The ingredients are made from products that are deemed safe for human consumption. Granted that these days that is not a major reassurance but it may put pets at less risk than manufactured products. There simply have been too many recalls… and again, the Food and Drug Administration will not give a number as to how many pets have died. It is “an unspecified number”.

Please note the word “may have” in the FDA release. I have one dog and four cats and have always been an animal lover and owner. I’m also working with the one chicken jerky brand that has been absolutely PROVEN to be safe (including by the FDA!), a company whose employees, retailers and product consumers are being terribly damaged by the inaccurate things being said about chicken jerky by those who overreact to cautionary announcements.
Please take a moment to visit http://www.waggintrainblog.com. That’s where you’ll get much more information that the FDA has released to date.
