If you love your dog (or even your - ugh - cat)

Reposting this from Wirecutter, over at Knuckledraggin My Life Away. Thanks for putting this up, hope passing it around saves at least one persons four legged mooch freeloader nannystate minded hole digging bed farting wet licking mutt friend. And maybe a cat or two so our REAL pets can chase 'em....

Dog owners beware

Posted on October 22, 2013 by Wirecutter

Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have become sick in a mystery bout of illness being linked to jerky treats made in China.
Most cases have been dogs, but at least 10 cats have also been struck down with an illness that has confounded federal animal health officials.
Vets and pet owners are now being called on to report new cases as the Food and Drug Administration tries to pinpoint the cause of the sickness.
