Deadly Dog Treats: How to Protect Your Dog
The
Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) has received
reports from across the country of hundreds of dogs who have died after eating jerky-style dog treats.
Since
2007, at least 3,600 dogs and 10 cats have fallen ill, and 580 dogs have died of
kidney failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, and Fanconi syndrome, a rare kidney
disorder. Several products, including jerky treats sold under the Milo’s
Kitchen, Waggin’ Train, and Canyon Creek brands, were recalled in January after
evidence of up to six drugs were found in treats made in China. But other
potentially risky products remain on the shelves, and dogs have reportedly
gotten sick after eating treats made of chicken, duck, sweet potatoes, and dried
fruit.
Symptoms
include decreased appetite, reduced activity, vomiting, and diarrhea within
hours of eating the treats. Smaller dogs are thought to be at greater risk,
although dogs of all sizes have become ill. Even after running hundreds of
tests and visiting manufacturing plants in China, the FDA still hasn’t been
able to pinpoint an exact cause of the illnesses, which is why it is asking
animal guardians and veterinarians to send information on animals they
suspect may have fallen ill after eating tainted treats.
Until
a cause is determined, the best advice is probably to steer clear of treats
made in China (although not all treats list a country of origin). Of course,
the only way to know exactly what’s going into your dog’s treats is by making them yourself from
scratch.
