Multiple Brands of Dog Chew Toys Recalled Due to Chemical Concerns

United Pet Group, which manufacturers dog chew toys under several brand names, has voluntarily recalled some of its products due to possible chemical contamination.

UPG determined that a quaternary ammonium compound mixture was used as a processing aid in plants in Mexico, Brazil, and Columbia. Dogs exposed to the compound may experience gastric irritation including diarrhea and vomiting.

The recall includes Digest-eeze, American Beefhide, and Healthy Hide products containing rawhide. Details on the individual products are here.
