| Thankfully Wal-Mart has a good return policy. So about a month ago I bought a 2 and a half pound bag of Chicken Jerky and another smaller bag of another chicken type treat. Thanks to YT I learned that they come from China. The bags were adorned with American flags and proclaiming that the manufacturer was proudly American. Upon inspection after reading the jerky warning I found in itty bitty writing "imported by" buried in amongst all the other info. So I now had 40 dollars worth of crap that I wouldn't be feeding my little one. Today without receipts I went into WM and was able to return the products. I brought a print out of the FDA warning with me and they gave me store credit. So in spite of the fact that we are cancelling all our cable and land line phone service to save money I took the credit and did a little "Yorkie shopping" I picked up some mane and tail detangle spray, two toys, three little tennis balls, a fine tooth comb, nylabones and pure bites chicken treats. I justified the purchases by rationalizing that I had originally spent the money on Chloe so I was simply trading her treats for other Chloe stuff LOL. She loves her new toys and I just love getting her new things. In my next life I want to come back as MY Yorkie LOL!

| I bet they put them back on the shelf so someone who didn't know about it just bought it and fed it to their dog. Grrrrrrrrrr..........

| I took back 2 open bags of Chicken chips and chicken and yam treats by Canyon Creek Ranch to PetSmart. No problem but the clerk had a weird look on his face. He did check with a manager. I have talked several people out of buying them. I have 2 small bags to return to Walmart of chicken treats too. |

| The girl at the customer service counter asked if she could keep the print out of the warning to show her manager. She seemed to care, not that it will result in any product coming off the shelf. I talked to a couple about the chicken jerky today as they were considering it. I suggested bull wrinkles or bully sticks instead. They seemed happy to be told and gratefully thanked me. You never know if someone will get indignant or not.
