YT Addict | Dog treat alert again SOMEONE ON MY FB PAGE LOST THEIR DOG. **WARNING TO ALL DOG OWNERS*** So far, the list of brands with treats have some ingredients made in China, and are not listed on the package or that are being linked to pet illness and deaths are: Waggin Train Canyon Creek Ranch Dogswell Booda Bones – Aspen Pet Milo’s Kitchen American Kennel Club Hartz Dingos *Beefeaters* Cadet Sargents Ever Pet (Dollar General) Home Pet 360 Walgreen’s new brand – Simple TheKingdomPets Benefuk Beggin' Strips Pupperoni Canine Carryout Snausages ANYTHING CONTAINING PROPYLENE GLYCOL If your pet has eaten tainted treats, symptoms may include: Decreased appetite Decreased activity Vomiting Diarrhea Increased water consumption Increased urination Lethargy Anal/Rectal bleeding Seizures. Also found this shared on a post shared by someone who shared my post: From the cdc website Propylene GlycolCAS ID #: 57-55-6 Affected Organ Systems: Dermal (Skin), Renal (Urinary System or Kidneys), Respiratory (From the Nose to the Lungs) Cancer Effects: None Chemical Classification: None Summary: Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. Propylene glycol is also used to make polyester compounds, and as a base for deicing solutions. Propylene glycol is used by the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries as an antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with food. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified propylene glycol as an additive that is “generally recognized as safe” for use in food. It is used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain medicines, cosmetics, or food products. It is a solvent for food colors and flavors, and in the paint and plastics industries. Propylene glycol is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in fire-fighting training and in theatrical productions. Other names for propylene glycol are 1,2-dihydroxypropane, 1,2-propanediol, methyl glycol, and trimethyl glycol. Propylene glycol is clear, colorless, slightly syrupy liquid at room temperature. It may exist in air in the vapor form, although propylene glycol must be heated or briskly shaken to produce a vapor. Propylene glycol is practically odorless and tasteless. |
