This subject has been in the news for over a year and yet pets are still dying, suffering kidney failure and/or becoming deathly ill after eating these types of treats. The FDA is still refusing to do anything to stop the importing of these deadly treats, as usual.
Susan Thixton at Truth About Pet Food is trying to get answers about these treats, these are her two of her most recent articles concerning the run around she is getting and the silent treatment she's also recieving......There's some info she's trying to check up on concerning the possible chemical traced to these treats, it's diethylene glycol. Of course the FDA is claiming they can find no reason for the contamination so in the mean time the treats will still be allowed to be imported until they can find the exact cause even though they are causing a problem for our pets.
Since the store owners are still choosing to stock these items it looks like it's up to us to protect our pets and refuse to purchase these ....
