Organic Pet Treats
From time to time we have the privilege of trying and testing pet products. The folks at Organic Pet Boutique asked us to sample their Blueberry Energy Snaps dog treats on our staffs pets.

Humans exposed can experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever.
