Pet owners in the US are being warned to be cautious about giving their dogs jerky treats after the deaths of nearly 600 canines and 3,000 others becoming ill.

Health officials say the cases - dating as far back as 2007 - may be related to eating the foods which are sold as jerky tenders or strips made of chicken, duck, sweet potatoes and/or dried fruit.
