Pro  6191    |  Subject: Salmonella in dog treatsMy sister e-mailed me from her CDC conference to let me know about this: http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/22/us/fda-jerky-pet-treats-warning/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Basically, no concrete details are known, but some dogs and cats are getting sick from some jerky treats. Most were chicken or duck based, and produced in China, but not all. So, if you've got a pet - and you feed them jerky treats - watch for vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite or slugishness. And that's my PSA for the day! |

And that's my PSA for the day! This is NOT Salmonella. They do not know what it is. They only know it is from China. They have tested 1200 samples and still don't know the source of the illness/fatalities. |

FDA has been actively investigating consumer complaints about jerky pet treats causing illness in dogs and in some cats. As of Sept. 24, 2013, over 3,600 dogs and 10 cats have reportedly become ill from eating jerky pet treats. |

I believe 580 dog deaths were reported since 2007 from the jerky treats, so sick enough to die (possibly). |
