Several dogs in Denmark have exhibited psychotic symptoms after consuming chew bones produced in China, according to Danish media TV2. Veterinarians across the country have reported unusual behavior in dogs, such as drooling, panic, and fear of the dark.
Vestermose Animal Clinic initially issued a warning via a Facebook post, identifying specific chew bones. Although the post was later deleted, it had already been shared 1,600 times. One of the mentioned products, Chrisco chew rolls made with beef hide and chicken, has now been recalled by the manufacturer.
“We don’t yet know if our product is the cause of these cases, but we are investigating,” says Karina Pedersen, Purchasing Manager at Chrisco.
Both veterinarians and Chrisco urge dog owners to discard the chew bones as a precaution. Laboratory tests are underway to determine if the products contain harmful substances.
