One thing that slips by all the case that I have seen with these treat problems is how big are the pets and how many treats are the owners giving them? When I worked at the local animal hospital we had a little dog come in very sick because his mommy fed him a package of Dingo treats from CVS. He should have only had one a day for his size. My GSD is 90+ lbs and I have been giving him Waggin Train treats for years as much as I hate outsourcing China for treats. He only get 2 treats a day not the recommended 8 and I never let him share his treats with the ferrets. I think moderation is the key here like the saccharin scare years ago. Yes it will cause you harm if you eat a complete bag twice a day, every day. Peace Wendy [Posted in FML 7675]
