2025.02.11 Safety Notice: Dog chews
11 February 2025
The following notice has been issued by the Food Standards Agency.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is advising dog owners not to feed their pets specific dog chews from China following concerns from the European Union (EU) of a possible link to serious behavioural changes.
Reports from the EU suggest that these products are potentially linked to dogs experiencing what is known as 'werewolf syndrome'. Symptoms include panic attacks, aggression, spasms, epileptic fits and in some cases death. There is no confirmed distribution of the chews to the UK and no cases have been detected in the UK.
