The Most Popular Loser At The Westminster Dog Show
Bruno is a show dog — a Scottie who didn't make it to the podium in his breed's competition at the Westminster Dog Show. But while nearby Best in Breed winners are trimmed and tweezed and doused in relative peace and quiet with more hairspray than a model at Fashion Week, Bruno is being interviewed by TV cameras and posing for Instagrams in his tartan hat. Westminster's most popular dog is a loser.

Two Major Brands of Dog Treats Recalled
Pet owners are growing concerned over the not-so-safe ingredients
that might be present in their dogs’ food. Just recently, Purina and
Milo’s Kitchen, two important names in the market for pet food, have
decided to recall some of their dog treats based on chicken meat coming
from China.
The antibiotics in question are approved in China and Europe, but they are not according to US regulations, hence the decision.

Which dog treats recalled
Purina is pulling out Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch, while Milo’s Kitchen is giving up on Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers. All these are dog treats based on chicken meat.The reason
Since the decision of pulling out certain dog treats from the market sounds like a radical one, there is natural concern from pet owners in regards to the reason behind all these. According to the pet food brands, the chicken treats in question, may contain minute amounts of antibiotics that come from the chicken meat used in the manufacturing process. It appears that the antibiotics are present in chicken meat because they were used as treatment for the chickens the meat comes from.The antibiotics in question are approved in China and Europe, but they are not according to US regulations, hence the decision.
Are the treats dangerous for pets?
Since this is the question on everyone’s lips, it is important to find a clear answer for it. Both Purina and Milo’s Kitchen say that the treats are safe for pet consumption, but they decided to pull out the products from the market, because they have not been manufactured according to standards. Since antibiotics should not be present in the said dog treats, their decision comes as a result of the recent findings.http://www.allpetnews.com/two-major-brands-of-dog-treats-recalled/
