Please click through for the complete article. The lesson here is not to avoid treats, but to be certain to purchase treats from known sources (made in the USA) or to make your own. Remember, MABCR sells a dog tested, dog approved cookbook so that you can make your very own...contact us for information on how to get your own (while supporting rescue dogs as well!!)
"Amid reports of more than 500 dogs sickened by chicken jerky pet treats imported from China, government health officials are ramping up port inspections for dangerous toxins.
Food and Drug Administration officials have begun collecting and testing chicken jerky treats upon import, analyzing samples for evidence of melamine and melamine analogs and diethylene glycol, chemicals used in plastics and resins, a spokeswoman said.
Melamine-tainted imported pet food sickened and killed thousands of dogs and cats in the U.S. in 2007, leading to massive recalls and criminal indictments of Chinese and American pet food executives."
