I received this notice and since the focus has been on peanut butter treats, wanted you to see that there are still other dog treat items that continue to bother our companions.
FDA Alert on Chicken Jerkey Dog Treats going unnoticed due to focus on peanut butter recalls
FDA Alert on Chicken Jerkey Dog Treats going unnoticed due to focus on peanut butter recalls

I noticed this alert and realized consumers are not paying attention to this one due to the focus on peanut butter recalls. The FDA continues to receive complaints from veterinarians about dogs becoming ill after eating chicken jerky, chicken tenders, chicken strip - type dog treats. These chicken products are sourced from China and the reports have been coming in since 2007. No recalls have been issued because the products and source haven’t been pinned down. Just wanted to keep this in front of you. Any time someone tells me their dog has has vomiting or diarrhea, I always ask what they are feeding. If you’re feeding chicken strips and your dog becomes ill, take him to the vet along with this FDA alert.
