Caution--treat recall

We were alerted to the fact that Saturday's Toronto Star included an article about a potential issue with chicken jerky products produced in China and used as treats in the United States. 

A recent surge in illness and death of dogs has prompted the U.S. FDA 's Center for Veterinary Medicine to issue a warning about chicken jerky products imported from China;  read http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm280586.htm.

We are not aware of any of our patients falling ill due to these products, but please give us a call if you are concerned.

Thank you also to our client who suggested that we point others to the FDA website, where food recalls are updated on a regular basis (www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/).
