I am sure that most of you have heard about the animals that have become sick and died because of contaminated dog and cat food from China. Since 2007, they have found MELAMINE in pet food and treats. Were you aware however, that since then the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reported over 4,800 complaints and 1,000+ dogs, 24 cats, and at least 3 people have died? Most of this has been linked to Chicken JERKY TREATS.
According to an article in The Capital newspaper (Tuesday, June 17, 2014) by Dr, Francine Rattner, a veterinarian at South Arundel Animal Hospital in Maryland, samples were taken by the FDA recently of chicken jerky treats from veterinarians across the United States who treated dogs that became ill after eating them. It is shocking to find that the chemical analysis shows the treats contain two really bad things – the insect repellent DEET and the drug AMANTADINE.
DEET is a common insect repellent and pesticide. Amantadine is a drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease, some types of flu viruses, and for pain management in dogs. Dr Rattner supposes that maybe the poultry farmers were using it to prevent avian influenza in their chickens, though it is not legal to use that drug on poultry in the US.
There is no direct proof that the contaminants in the jerky treats are responsible for the problems, so the FDA has not recalled the Chinese-made treats and many stores still sell them.
I thought that I was being smart by avoiding treats labeled “Made in China,” but, what I learned was that packages can be labeled “Made in the USA,” even if they include ingredients sourced from other countries (since it is put together here). The only way that you can actually know where the ingredients come from is to contact the maker of the product, and if you are lucky enough to get the right person, they can tell you where their source is.
Bottom line: If you want to feed your dog jerky treats, make them yourself or do without.
PLZ, DON”T CHANCE GETTING ME SICK!

If you are a regular DogDaz blog reader then you know that Louise has a very sensitive stomach and Sofie has developed allergies to “who knows what and possibly everything.” Every once and a while, I give their tummies a break with my simple DogDaz chicken and rice dinner. This is not their regular diet since I do not add the required vitamins and minerals that a dog should have to maintain good health. I use this to get their systems back on track. Some people say to fast your animal for 24 hours before starting any change, but I don’t do that. If your fur-baby’s tummy is out of whack, you might want to try this for a couple of days.
Note: Please make sure to get your dog proper animal care with a Vet when they are feeling poorly. This post is by no means a cure for anything. I believe that food is medicine, and medicine is food and just wanted to share a simple tummy tamer.
Ingredients (for 12 cups):
4 pieces plain boiled CHICKEN (As lean as possible. I cut all the fat and skin off.)
1 cup white RICE
(Optional) 1/2 to 3/4 cup 100% pure PUMPKIN (NOT pumpkin pie mix, which is full of sugar and other stuff)
Directions:
Time to prepare: about 90 minutes all together
1. Prepare the Chicken
– Boil water (DO NOT ADD SALT. Dogs do not need salt and too much can cause sodium ion poisoning).
– When boiling, reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook about 30 minutes or until the meat basically falls off the bone.
– Remove chicken and let cool.
– Save the broth (you will need some later and it also makes great chicken soup stock). Skim the fat from the cooled chicken broth for the rice.
– When cooled, debone the chicken into small chunks and get rid of any still remaining skin or fat. (Think LEAN.)
2. Prepare the Rice
– Measure 2.5 cups (591.47 ml) of the broth (from previous step) into a pan and bring to a boil.
– Add 1 cup (236.58 ml) of white rice (easiest to digest for upset tummy) to broth and reboil. Then cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes.
– The rice will be soggy and soft when done.
– Let rice cool.
3. Mix Chicken and Rice
– Add the rice to the chicken and blend them together with a fork.
4. Add Pumplin (with or without help from a cat)
5. Feed hungry dogs
– How much you feed them depends on the dog’s size, I give Louise (who is 58 lbs) 1 1/2 cups and Sofie (47 lbs) 2/3 cup, but don’t have any idea of the calorie or protein count.
– Mix with at least 1/4 cup of warm water to make it saucy.

Update on Madge (from last week): Thanks to all you wonderful followers she has found a new foster and is doing well. You are the power of social media and make a world of difference to the voiceless. Madge will be transported up to New York next week to her forever family. She looks like one happy, lucky girl! Thank you all soooooo much.

Miss Madge is OFFICIALLY URGENT!!!
She is at a boarding kennel, but has been in a cage so long now she is going nuts!!!
This is Madge, who we’re now referring to as “Miracle Madge.” With the help of some awesome volunteers at literally the last minute, she was pulled over a month ago now from a local MD shelter, where her time was numbered. After meeting her in person, we were actually surprised she was given the time she was at her shelter. Though she’s sweet as pie, Madge looks like she’s been through hell and back in her short 3 year life. We were told by her shelter she has some minor skin irritations, not quite so much the case. The poor girl looks as though she may have had an embedded collar earlier on in life and sadly, towards her back end, her skin is littered with some missing patches of fur, as well as skin tags and what look to be fatty tumors. She’s skinny as well, but now has a good appetite. Through all of her what we assume to be nightmarish past, Madge stands strong now and is just a delight to be around. She’s got a gorgeous smile that’s so completely full of life, you can’t help but smile when you re around her. She seriously enjoys the company of people and adores the attention she’s received so far in boarding, but what we really want more than anything for her is to find a foster or adoptive family. Once she’s in a home, she can start to receive the routine vet visits she deserves. Please, if you can open your heart and home to this little girl, we’d like to get her to the vet right away for her skin issues to be examined. We will support the costs, we’d just like her in a home to do so first. Please write in ASAP to meet the gorgeous girl. Once you catch that grin and that sparkle in her eye, you won’t be sorry, you did!
Recent update from Canine Nation:
She’s has successful met other dogs whom she completely ignored.
She’s had two committed adopters both who bailed at the last minute before even meeting Madge.
FOSTER NEEDED IN NEXT 24 HOURS!!! She is in Maryland.

Miss Madge’s Story
Almost a month ago, Canine Nation animal rescue moved three shelter pups to Fieldstone Animal Inn in Millersville, Md, where they receive they utmost care and royal treatment!! They are very thankful for their friends at Fieldstone, but know, as well as they do, that they are not an answer to a permanent home. With the help of so many, they were able to find loving fosters for Pablo and Gibson, who just found his today- yippee!!! But so far, the last little lady, Miss Madge has been left behind. She is sweet and a total lovebug, and she walks well on a leash too!! They think this mannerly miss will do well with kids and possibly even pups too (they reevaluate her on a case by case basis). She needs love bad, just look at that kind hearted smile, gently awaiting her furever home! Please share, write in to foster, adopt or even make a donation to support them in keeping her safe in her boarding-kennel. Miss Madge is spayed and up-to-date on all her shots. What a great pal she would make. She is watching for you to come get her.
Thank you! Let’s get these girls out FAST! Contact CanineNation.org
