BullyKamp

FDA warns that this pet company’s marketing bites off more than it can chew.

After being sent to the doghouse by the FDA for making unapproved drug claims, BullyKamp has stopped carrying a number of the dog products on its online store.

While the website still sells several other products, including sweaters for your fur baby, if you are looking for an “antidote” for canine parvovirus, a highly contagious disease affecting dogs, you might be out of luck. Consumers will also no longer be able to find a “Bulldog Sauce” for skin disease, a “steroid shot” for inflammation, or an “increase litter shot” for breeding on the company’s website.

In a July 31st warning letter, the FDA informed BullyKamp that because these products are intended for the “diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease in animals” the company requires the agency’s approval, which it does not have.

But since BullyKamp removed all of the products cited by the FDA, the company must be in the clear right? Hold that leash.

TINA.org found that this company continues to make some questionable claims with products like its Snout Soother, which is advertised as able to treat your pets’ infected noses, along with “several common ailments such as Hyperkeratosis and Discoid Lupus.”

And that’s not all. TINA.org found several other potentially problematic products the company advertises to improve sperm production, enhance milk production, and relieve allergies:
