Dog Treat Warning!!!!!!!?
I just came from the Vet with my dogs, all three are very sick, and my dogs have never been sick a day in their lives.
All three have severe Dia, vomiting and shakes...
I fed them all three an Innova Dog Biscuit around 1am today, it is the flat large one, greyish brown in color.
It is in a large bag, resealable top.
Anyway, the Vet did blood work on all my dogs, the blood work showed chemicals in blood stream.
All 5 vets at the clinic says it is the bone, it has a chemical base to it, but they do not know what chemical till they can send it off andcan be tested.....
I have already called my Feed Store and Gary said he has one other complaint like mine as well yesterday, they have pulled all the Innova Dog Food and Treats and he is contacting Innova. I have already called them and they ask me to overnight some of the bones, which is what I am about to do now...
They are a great food company, but anyone can make mistakes in preparation of food and treats.
Legit: Do you feed Innova Treats, and has your dog been sick for some unexplained reason?????
I am off line, but I wanted to let everyone know about this possible hazard to our dogs.
I will keep you posted to what Vet and Innova come back with.
Miss you all.....

I don't feed innova, but I will star to pass this on.
Hope you're dogs get better soon.
Edit- Somewhere along the lines an imbalance in the nutrients probably happened, either by the supplier or Innova themselves. Same thing happened to nutro, it was the suppliers fault i believe they either mixed up the numbers or mislabeled, it happens. That is why chemists have to be so meticulous because this what happens when they are not.

Thank you very much for posting.
Hope all of your animals are doing well.
All ingredients should be listed on the bag.
Humans were becoming ill from sealed ready made salads.It was actually the bag holding the produce that was toxic.
Please post updates when possible.This is a quality food as you stated.
Yes, we do have Innova products in our household.No biscuits.
Will foward this warning.

Very unfortunate, I do hope that your dogs will have a speedy recovery. I personally haven't fed my dogs Innova Treats but if there are others who have fed them it & there dog is sick, they should definitely contact the company fast so they can get the problem fixed as soon as possible. We don't want any more dogs getting sick.
Good luck to you and your dogs and I will star this to spread the word.

No store in my area sells Innova,so I don't know anyone who feeds them.
But,my dogs are all sick with a respiratory problem.They are vaccinated and have not been around any strange dogs in the last week or so,so I am wondering if it might be the dog flu? They are on Amoxicillin and seem to be feeling better,but it is strange. My vet did not seem very concerned,though,as they are still eating,but just have a cough,swollen lymph nodes and a slight fever.
Hope your dogs recover!

Can you give us some idea of some of the details of what the blood work showed (feel free to e-mail me --- I'll check back on this question regardless).
Liver enzymes? Kidney enzymes? CBC? Batch number/expiry on the treats? Have you had these treats before? Do they look like they did before?
I'd like to know in a bit more detail what to keep an eye out for.

Thank you for the heads up. I don't use Innova dog treats, but I do feed Innova cat food. Usually recalls like this aren't across the board for all their products, but just to be safe I am going to stop feeding it until I hear further. I hope your pups are ok :(

I am not so sure salmonella is an issue with dogs. The reason it gets humans is our intestines are so long and our stomach acid is weak(in comparison to dogs). Dogs have intestines only about 5 to 6 times the length of their body. Humans on the other hand are 12x the length of the body. Their acid is also 20x stronger than ours.

OMG Yes I feed EVO brand treats made by innova.
I can't believe a good company like that is harming our dogs. Thank you for the in site and keep us posted.
I was about to buy another bag of those treats too as we just ran out a while back.
Hope your dogs get better soon!
~Thank you!

Oh goodness that's awful. Wishing your dogs a quick and speedy recovery! And thank you for sharing this information. No doubt you have prevented other dogs from becoming sick.
