Not a recall, but a new warning. No matter what a company says, if a bone is safe sitting outside of a refrigerator or freezer, it's NOT raw, and it's NOT safe! Smoking is the same as cooking. It's drying out the product, and whether it's done with smoke, low-heat air, baking, or whatever, IT'S THE SAME AS COOKED!!!
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning dog owners about store-bought "bone treats," saying they have led to multiple reports of pet illnesses and even death.
In a consumer update, the FDA said they have received nearly 70 reports of pet illnesses related to "bone treats." The illnesses reported by owners and veterinarians include:
Gastrointestinal obstruction (blockage in the digestive tract)
Choking
Cuts and wounds in the mouth or on the tonsils
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Bleeding from the rectum
Death. Approximately fifteen dogs reportedly died after eating a bone treat.
