FDA: Chicken Jerky Treats maybe dangerous
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) renewed a warning about giving your dog a jerky chicken treats. They said that there are dozens of new reports of f mysterious illnesses and some deaths in dogs by eating jerky chicken. There are around 70 cases so far this year after reportedly eating chicken jerky products imported from China. The warnings about this product started back in 2007. Unfortunately the FDA officials have not been able to find a cause for the illnesses. And they note that the reports of illness have not conclusively been tied to chicken jerky products, also sold as chicken tenders, chicken strips or chicken treats. Dog owners are advised to report any related case to FDA’s Pet Food Complaint site.
If you’re looking for a SAFE, REAL ‘American Made’ chicken jerky for dogs or cats, we started making our own Chicken Jerky for our 3 dogs after we ran across the FDA warning of 2008 about Chinese chicken treats making dogs sick or killing them. It turned into a cottage "Mom & Pop" business and we now sell our TriPom Chews online and in 20 stores in the New England area. Our products are the only homemade, handmade, ‘Maine Made’, ‘American Made’ Chicken Jerky produced from whole, restaurant-quality chicken breasts containing NO Additives and NO Preservatives. Our 3 Pomeranians (our babies!) taste test every batch for quality.
