[Dailydrool] Jerky treats and poison and burrowing bassets

[Pamela McQuade via Dailydrool]

Bev, I had read a similar online article on jerky treats a few weeks 
ago. American corporate greed has now come to equal Chinese lack of care 
for life. My personal opinion is that American corporations are trying 
to hide their sources instead of upgrading the ingredients of their 
treats. I stopped buying jerky many years ago, after my whole pack got 
sick on some dried sweet potato treats.

Happily, anyone who has or is willing to invest in a dehydrator has a 
simple solution. Cutting up meat into strips and letting it dehydrate 
overnight or perhaps a bit longer gives wonderful jerky treats that are 
safe for hounds. Just follow the dehydrator's directions.

On another topic, my Belvedere was a burrowing basset. He loved to get 
under the covers and burrow down by my feet. I always wondered how he 
could breathe, but he lived to the ripe age of almost fifteen without 
any trouble at all.
