Fighting for Fido
Marketplace investigates questions about a popular dog treat, and a mystery illness making thousands of dogs sick. Thousands of dogs are ill or dying across North America and it's been going on for years. No one can say what, exactly, made the dogs sick. But owners say they fed their dogs a seemingly harmless product: a popular chicken jerky treat.
There are warnings on both sides of the border about the treats, which are made in China and marketed by some of the biggest pet food companies. But there is no definitive link between the treats and the illness. And there have been no recalls. Tom Harrington is on the trail of the mysterious illness, putting the treats to the test, and asking questions about a product that is not regulated in Canada. We ask: when things go wrong, who is fighting for Fido? It airs Fri. Sept. 28 at 8 pm on cbc

I hear you on irradiated food. I fed Chum 2 whole bags of them, I read all the ingredients thinking wow no preservatives great, it wasn't until I turned the 2nd bag upside down as I folded it to put it in the recycling bin that I saw (printed on the bottom no less) that nasty green symbol. They really need to make it more visible, I was horrified who looks on the bottom of the bag?? Needless to say I tossed the bag I had just opened and he never got another. I only hope the ones I did feed him don't come back to haunt me one day

The green symbol means your food has been zapped with radiation to kill contaminents like bacteria and extend shelf life...here is an article from 2002 about irradiating food http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...kT6kbiQzWv1nOg
