**NEWS**
Recall Timberwolf Organics has voluntarily recalled their Dakota Bison and Ocean Blue formulas in June, 2008, due to reports of it making dogs ill. The cause is unknown. See the Dog Food Project and Timberwolf Organics for more info.
Chicken Jerky Strips from China In September, 2007, the AVMA issued a warning about chicken jerky strips from China possibly causing kidney failure in dogs. I have not been able to find any updated information since then, but I've personally heard from three people in May, 2008 whose young, seemingly healthy dogs suddenly developed kidney disease while being given chicken jerky strips. It could be a coincidence, but please avoid feeding chicken jerky strips from China to dogs until we know conclusively that they are safe. See my Recall page for more information.
