In the autumn of 2011 a woman in Pine Bush, New York gave her two year old pug a jerky treat from the supermarket. Bella died of kidney failure. Her owner said it was the treats.
There is a file at the FDA that ran for nine years: roughly 5,200 complaints, more than 6,200 dogs, and more than 1,140 of them dead. Then the agency stopped updating it. Nobody was charged and nothing was proven.
So we counted down seven dog treats using the paperwork that exists: recall notices, a company's own annual report, a federal outbreak investigation and a veterinary journal review. Then three that actually hold up, and the cheapest one is probably already in your kitchen.

Apparently there is something in the processing that is very toxic to dogs. They have been unable to ID what it is but shuts down kidneys quickly.
My dogs really
like apples and of course bites of well cooked real meat.
Los animalitos son inocentes.
Pero NO tontos.😢
