Three Brands Of Rawhide Chews Recalled After Reports Of Sickened Dogs
If you were planning to reward Fido for being a good boy while you were out with a tasty rawhide bone, you might want to check the label. Several brands of rawhide dog chews have been recalled over a potential chemical contamination that could sicken animals.
United Pet Group recently issued the recall of several brands of rawhide dog chews following reports that some pets became ill after chowing down on the chews.
According to a notice posted with the Food and Drug Administration, the American Beefhide, Digest-eeze, and Healthy Hide products produced in Mexico and South America may contain a chemical that has not been approved for use in the U.S.
United Pet Group says it has learned that some of its manufacturing facilities in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil were using an anti-microbial chemical to aid in the manufacturing process of the rawhide chews. While the quaternary ammonium compound mixture is approved for use in those countries, it is not approved in the U.S. as a processing aid.

I get them at Costco. Hard/tough enough to help scrub teeth, but easily digested as they are 100% chicken. Manny loves them. He gets one in the am after his potty trip. He immediately goes to the kitchen sink rug and waits for me to come in, dispose of his poopy bag, if necessary, wash my hands, & then reach in the cupboard for his treat. He grabs it and always runs under the dining table to eat it.
