Mold on dog treat - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Lovetodream88 · 08-11-2013, 02:01 PM

My grandma is the one who thinks its mold. My mom and dad think it is not so not sure what to do.

Call the company.
Get an email addy for them to send a pic to.
Sometimes certain discolorations yaoen and the company can immediately explain.

Show the vet and ask what to do, esp if you are concerned.

Honestly, some forms are just too dangerous to mess around, so I would personally err on the side of daution.

Where the treats Cloud Star Buddy Buscuits? If so I bought them once and all the yorkies refused to eat them. Buddy the Golden did but at 95 pounds he would really have to ingest a lot.

I hope your girly is feeling better.

Is it the black part you're concerned about? That almost looks like it's burnt or scorched. Does the treat smell moldy?

My mom says no (she had bought a bag of moldy food once and said it smelled very bad so she smelled the treat and even the treat bag and said she really doesn't feel it is mold. I am so paranoid I just get all crazy when I think something is off. The more I look at it, it looks kinda like it could be a burn and I feel slightly like an idiot.

I would send the picture to the company... You should really send the treat bag that treat came out of, with the treat with that stuff on it and mail it to them.

Better safe than sorry, but I suspect that it is not mold. Mold would definitely have a bad smell, and would appear to be fuzzy.

I've been feeding those treats for 2 years with no issues, but I've never seen a treat look like that. It does kind of look like a burn, but it's hard to tell.

I agree, but why wouldn't you send the bag with the treat to the company.. tell them what is going on and ask them to do testing.. How do we know there aren't more out there?

I think it would be best to send the treat in and ask them do run a test to see what that is. Sitting trying to guess is going to get us nowhere.

Lovespandp took care of it for me sense I have been not doing so well.

lovespandp · 08-13-2013, 06:00 PM

Yup! I took upon myself to take care of it for Taylor, since she was not feeling well.

I sent the picture with the codes/ UPC codes- the Customer Service manager was super nice and helpful! I recieved an email probably 10 mins after I sent it. Love that! Anyways she is going to send Taylor a free bag of Buddy Biscuits and a prepaid label to send the treat along with the package back to them.

They will run it through testing and talk with Q.C. She said she will get back to me when she gets the results.

She did tell me she has seen this before- not many, but the last time it was just burnt. Which is a good thing it isn't something serious.

So once I hear any feedback I'll let y'all know!
