Symptoms

Dogs that have become ill typically show the following signs:

• decreased appetite, although some may continue to eat the treats but not other food
• decreased activity, or lethargy
• vomiting and diarrhea, sometimes with blood
• increased water drinking and urination
• An individual dog may show some or all of these signs. Blood tests may indicate kidney failure (increased urea nitrogen and creatinine). Urine tests may indicate Fanconi syndrome (increased glucose). Although most dogs appear to recover, some dogs have died.

Advice to Consumers

• If you feed your dog chicken jerky products, watch the dog closely for any signs of decreased appetite, decreased activity, increased water drinking, increased urination, and vomiting or diarrhea
• If the dog shows any of the above signs, discontinue feeding the chicken jerky product. Signs of illness may occur within hours to days of feeding the product. Consult your veterinarian if signs are severe or persist for more than 24 hours.
• Report animal illness to the FDA consumer complaint coordinator for your state. For contact information, see www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/complain.html.
• Chicken treat products should not be substituted for a balanced diet and are intended to be used occasionally in small quantities.
