And this is exactly why I never buy my dogs any of those chews, rawhide, pigs ears, whatever - anything that may be treated with anything! I much prefer to go to the butcher and get femur bones. BUT - that is just MHO. -- Susan (ever cautious) Susan Casey Front Range German Shepherd Rescue Erynbrook German Shepherds In a message dated 5/16/2011 2:29:32 P.M.

This product is manufactured in Brazil. This has been happening since December and yet the crap is still being sold. I have a personal friend that gave one to 3 of her dogs - one died, one almost died and the third was very lucky..Please - pass this info on! Please note...the personal friend referred to is NOT mine, but the writer's.......I'm just sharing information.
