More dogs sick as FDA steps up scrutiny of chicken jerky pet treats
This disturbs me.
Not only because the products can make our pets sick, but how many people really check the labels of the treats they buy for their pets
I'll admit, I wasn't an avid label reader until a friend of my mothers, a vet tech, advised her to never purchase any kind of treat or food item for her dog if it was made in China.
I paid attention after that and closely monitored what treats I would buy, reading all the labels.
I started to look up recipes online for home-made treats, did my research on what foods are best for dogs & cats & what ingredients would make tasty & healthy snacks for them.
The simplest of ingredients usually popped up, chicken, rice, pasta, fresh vegetables, baby food...
Granted, I will buy Shelbs the occasional treat; always made in the USA though it be slightly pricier.
She's worth it, she's my furry 4 legged child after all.
One of 3 whom I love dearly & will continue to feed them the best I can offer.
