If you buy jerky or other treats for your pets, be VERY careful about where they’re made. The FDA has issued another warning for Chinese-sourced pet treats. Over 1,000 dogs reported dead, and thousands of others sickened.
Look, if you don’t know what to feed your dog, give them carrot slices. Other options? Apple, oranges, bananas, and watermelon (minus seeds, of course). Or there are literally thousands of free recipes out there on the Internet for dog-safe treats you can bake in your own kitchen, with human-grade ingredients, for about the same final cost as you’d pay for premium organic dog treats.
