Two
major national pet stores are pulling all dog and cat treats made in China off of their shelves as years of
complaints to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration pile up that jerky treats
from China
Vice
President of Merchandising for Petco John Sturm said they are voluntarily
removing these products after consumers voiced concerns.
Another
major pet food retailer, PetSmart, is pulling Chinese-made jerky treats from
its stores in the U.S. and Canada .
The
treats have been linked to more than 1,000 dog deaths and nearly 5,000 other
pet illnesses.
The
FDA said it's still working to determine the exact causes of the illnesses.
While
the products won't actually disappear from PetSmart shelves until March of
2015, Petco plans to pull the products by the end of this year.
My wife and I buy our cat, Kevin, this kind of pet jerky! No wonder Kevin has been acting so weird lately, the treats are making him sick! I was guessing that it could be something he was eating so it's good that I looked it up! I don't know what we would have done if it would have gotten worse! http://www.grovesvetclinic.com
ReplyDeleteMy kids and I have tried to make treats for our dogs a few different times. I think that it would be fun to learn how to make them properly. Would anyone happen to know of an animal hospital in Colorado Springs, CO that we could learn from? http://www.polosprings.com/hospital-services/
ReplyDeleteI've curious to see what it would take to work at a animal hospital, and this helped a ton. It's unreal to see the amazing thins that these people do for our pets. I'm excited to learn more and see if it's something that I want to pursue.

I have a new Daschund Puppy. I have no idea about when they get their shots and such. I think I will stop into the local animal hospital to start the establishing relationship with a vet.

Bryan, all animals that you get as pets usually get shots. I've had a few pets over the years and all of them got shots. That's why it's always a good ideato know where an animal hospital is.
