These symptoms can include depression, anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea, increased thirst and urination, tremors and convulsions. In addition, some pets may exhibit skin irritations such as hives or a general rash and in severe cases, kidney failure has been reported. If your pet is exhibiting any of the above signs after consuming these types of treats, please call us to schedule an exam as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In general, we at Mountainview recommend avoiding any and all Jerky Treat type products regardless of where they are manufactured.<br \/>\nFor more information, please click on this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fda.gov\/downloads\/NewsEvents\/Newsroom\/FactSheets\/UCM371715.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a> for the FDA consumer fact sheet<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JERKY TREAT TOXICITY: Since 2007, the Food and Drug Administration has received over 3600 reports of dog and cat illnesses, including 580 deaths, related to the consumption of jerky treats.
