Caution –
Jerky Treats from China
In the
light of increasing cases and information of illness in dogs that have been
exposed to “Jerky Treats” manufactured in China, we would like to make sure
that our clients are aware of this potential problem. We advise the use of pet foods
and treats that are manufactured locally by recognized and trusted companies.
Signs to
look out for that may be associated with jerky pet treats include decreased
appetite and activity, vomiting, diarrhea and increased drinking and urinating.
Laboratory findings may include signs of kidney problems including glucose and/or
protein in the urine. Some of the reported cases may be the result of causes
other than the consumption of jerky treats. This concern has not been
definitively isolated to jerky treats so caution is indicated with all pet food
products that originate from China.
Currently the US FDA and numerous veterinary authorities are investigating this
problem. Should you have a concern that your pet has become ill after exposure
to imported treats, please notify your veterinarian immediately.
