NFR, Chicken-jerky for dogs causing kidney disease

[cyalexa]

The FDA has issued a warning to consumers and veterinarians noting that chicken jerky products from China may be causing renal failure and Fanconi syndrome in dogs within hours or days of being ingested. Most dogs recover, but some deaths have been reported. The FDA is investigating the products but has not identified a contaminant.

OMG - thanks for posting. We give our dogs chicken jerky treats

going to go check the bag now. Haven't seen any of the signs mentioned but... And I don't give them whole strips, just little pieces about 1/2".
