FDA warns pet owners to avoid Chinese-made chicken treats
December 25, 2008
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration again is cautioning pet owners about feeding their dogs chicken jerky treats manufactured in China, as the agency continues to receive reports of kidney-related disorders in animals that ate these products.
The FDA has received 151 complaints about dogs falling sick after eating chicken jerky products since September 2007, when the agency issued its warning. Twenty-six of those pets died.
To report suspected cases, go to www.fda.gov or call 888-463-6332. — Diane C. Lade
