harmful dog treats

ARE YOUR DOG’S TREATS DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD?

While tossing them a doggy biscuit may be doing a lot of good for your dog’s “happy meter”, it could be posing serious dangers to their long-term health.

Keep your dog safe by avoiding these seven types of treats:

1. Dog Treats from China - Fanconi Syndrome (FLS), a severe condition that could result in fatal kidney failure, has been linked to jerky pet treats which are mostly sourced from China. 2. Rawhide Bones can cause choking and intestinal blockage. 3. Real Animal Bones can be contaminated with harmful bacteria and can cause choking and intestinal damage. 4. Other Animal Parts can break your dog’s teeth and cause choking and splintering when not processed correctly. 5. Treats with Dangerous Chemicals like Red #40 and Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA or E320), have been linked to canine cancer. 6. Sugary or Artificially Sweetened Treats - Sugar can cause unhealthy weight gain, dental problems and diabetes. Some artificial sweeteners can cause seizures, clotting problems and even death. 7. High Starch Options - Avoid kibble and treats with too much starch and opt for high-quality treats that use complex carbohydrates or are protein-based.
