Question

Can dogs eat chicken jerky?

Answer 1

Chicken jerky can be a great treat for your pup as long as it's made safely and not sourced from China.

A jerky treat can be a great way to supplement your dog's diet with extra protein.

However, not all chicken jerky is safe for your canine companion.

Answer 2

Last November, the FDA said chicken jerky products  sometimes marketed as chicken tenders, strips or treats  "may be associated with illness in dogs." Last year, the FDA had received 70 reports of ill dogs, possibly related to chicken jerky, up until its Nov. 18 advisory.
