i-pets.com has SAFE chicken products!
As recently reported by NBC News, several popular brands of chicken jerky dog treats have been recalled because they contain trace amounts of residual poultry antibiotics which are approved in Europe, but not in the USA.
i-pets.com sells pet treats which contain chicken, so we temporarily withdrew our products from our website and sent them to an independent laboratory to have them tested.
We sent our chicken jerky products for testing on January 11, 2013, to Silliker Inc. The results of the testing determined that no action is required on the distribution of the chicken jerky products because the trace amounts of antibiotic residue (in the parts-per-billion range) do not pose a health or pet safety risk.
We have now re-listed banana chips wrapped with chicken, rawhide twists with chicken wrap, rawhide bones with chicken wrap, pork hide bones with duck wrap and combo triple rolls.

Who's shooting who?
Here's one cub reporter who could bearly contain herself as she watched a wildlife photographer at work. As Dean Swartz took pictures of a black bear family in Minnesota, America, he noticed one juvenile bear watching him very closely. After about 45 minutes the bear decided to have a go as well and ambled over to the tripod. Backing off, Dean used another camera on his shoulder to carry on taking pictures as the animal investigated his expensive equipment.

The comfort of a furry body
A team of golden retrievers made an 800-mile journey from the Chicago area to Newtown, Conn., over the weekend to comfort those affected by the recent school massacre.
Lutheran Church Charities, K-9 Parish Comfort Dogs, deployed about 10 of the canines Saturday evening for residents who want to pet them while they talk or pray with the dog's handler, said Tim Hetzner, president of the Addison-based organization.
“Dogs are non-judgmental. They are loving. They are accepting of anyone,” Hetzner said. “It creates the atmosphere for people to share.”
When the charities' dogs are not responding to a national tragedy, they will often visit people in hospitals, nursing homes and parks. Each dog carries a business card with its name, Facebook page, twitter account and email so those that meet the canine can keep in touch.
