UNDATED (WOOD) — The FDA has issued an alert to dog owners over “bone treats”after receiving dozens of reports of injuries – and even death.
The FDA classifies bone treats as commercially available treats for dogs that may be dried by baking or smoking, have added seasoning and/or preservatives, and are processed and packaged for sale. These differ from uncooked, butcher-type bones, according to a post on fda.gov.
Examples of the types of potentially hazardous treats may be described as “Pork Femur Bones,” “Rib Bones,” “Smokey Knuckle Bones” or “Ham bones.” The FDA has not noted any specific brands.
