My husband and I found out today that they have recalled Milo's Homemade Dog Snacks (specific ones) and Waggin' Tails dog snacks (I think all of them).

Well, we give our dogs duck jerky Waggin' Tails dog treats. Our 14 year old basenji isn't acting right and we have noticed that for awhile. She drinks more water and whines a lot now and we didn't know why. In reading the symptoms (over 500 dogs have died from these treats) it's excessive thirst, possible kidney failure, and upset stomach. Obviously we're tossing the treats when we get home today and going to give her Pepcid for a couple of days to see if she feels better. I hope so and that her kidneys haven't been damaged.

This is an FYI to those of you with dogs.

We've been avoiding both those brands altogether since the news story about the chicken coming out of China. Thanks for the information! We have been buying USA only stuff now. It's pricey, but less expensive than vet medical bills. frown

I hope your pup feels better soon Skittles!

I hope so, too - and thanks. Obviously we don't know for sure that this is causing her distress. I told my husband that I think I'm going to start baking homemade dog treats. I have a couple of recipes, but not the proper ingredients. I'll be buying those this weekend.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
Sent your post to my sister, Skittles. Her dog began acting in much the same way Sunday/MOnday. They haven't determined what's wrong with him yet.

We give out dog treats through the drive-thru- But ours are all homemade by the local SPARC program.

Walden - let me know. Obviously we're very concerned about Mandy right now and her age isn't helping. We also bought some Pepto for her. The vet said that would help coat her stomach. I'll pray for your sister's dog.
