China-made treats linked to deaths of hundreds of dogs




News late last week that China-made dog treats have been linked to the
deaths of 360 dogs - and 1 cat - and sickened another 2,000 should
prompt pet owners to do one thing: read the labels.

The Food and Drug Administration in a report says the majority of
complaints since 2007 involve imported chicken jerky (treats, tenders,
and strips), but others include duck, sweet potato, and treats where
chicken or duck jerky is wrapped around dried fruits, sweet potatoes,
or yams.

The vast majority of dog treats and toys sold by the largest pet
retailers are made in China
