Thanks for posting that Wufwuf! :)

Sandy, aka, "wvvdiup1", sent this to me with instructions that says, "to which one of us logs onto Positively first, post this link". This link is for US dog owners whose dog are sick or getting sick off of these treats and the FDA (Food & Drug Administration in the United States) wants to know. Here's the link: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/Consume ... 371413.htm.

I warn people. It bothers me to see people buying products that are constantly publicized for making animal seriously ill and most often, death. I try to give alternative options. Sadly, some people don't care because either "it's just a dog", as if they can be replaced, like an old rug. While some people "can't afford" better treats, when I know that isn't really true. Besides, why risk the dog's health just because you can't afford better? I would skip treats all together instead.
