Dog-Lover Says Treats May Kill Pets

 By JACK BOUBOUSHIAN 

CHICAGO (CN) – Sergeant\’s Pur Luv dog treats can leave indigestible \”rock-hard chunks\” inside a dog, injuring or killing it, a class action claims in Federal Court.
Lead plaintiff Edgardo Duran sued Sergeant\’s Pet Care Products.
The complaint states: \”Sergeant\’s manufactures, markets, and sells Pur Luv pet treats, a semi-soft chew treat for dogs. In marketing materials and packaging for Pur Luv treats, Sergeant\’s describes itself as \’providing the products you need for the health, well-being and happiness of your pet\’ and describes the treats themselves as \’nutritious.\’ Sergeant\’s website depicts stethoscope-adorned veterinarians and claims to be \’pet health central.\’
