| Lawsuit Against Waggin Train and Walmart filed Sorry for multiple posting this but I wanted to get the word out. The lawsuit was filed the same day Zoey passed. It is not me but I will be following this very closely. First Lawsuit filed over Chicken Jerky Treats Zoey will be remembered and I will continue to tell others her story to prevent this from happening to another pet.

| About time something was done. Enough dogs have died. And it's not just Walmart. Our local Meijer store still has these on the self today!

| What the He!! is wrong with this company ??? How many more pets have to die to prove to these IDIOTS that there's a huge problem here ? I say we get out our picket signs & start marching in front of every store that sells Nestle/Purina products of ANY kind. Maybe then they will do something. |

I will never buy another 1 of there products and neither will my immediate family or friends. I will not give them another 1 of my dollars. Already paid the ultimate price without the loss of my beautiful and sweet Zoey.

| I just saw them in a pharmacy that I go to. It upsets me to see all the things that these companies put out for dogs to eat. It's like they find the junk on the slaughter room floor and scrape it up and make it a pet food or treat. |

| ALERT Vets warn of new treats from China poisoning dogs Poisoned Pets Jerky is a general term. It is sweet potato and other varieties as well affected.

| I don't understand why there is no one to make them take the garbage off the market. I have heard that the pet food industry is self regulating but when it gets this bad something needs to be done! |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I'll be watching this as well. When Tuffy was just a little thing we gave him what I refer to as "that garbage China chicken jerky" but he only had it for a few months before he got really sick. It cost us right about 400$ to get him better. Thankfully, I knew right away it was the chicken & tossed it all. My MIL went through a very scary situation with her Jack Russell a few months ago. (Mom isn't convinced the chicken is BAD & still let's her have it.) Her neck swelled so much the poor girl could barely eat. She thought something was wrong with her mouth or a tooth & took her to the vet. No real diagnosis from the vet; they treated her with antibiotics & released her after 3 days IV etc. I am convinced it was caused by the garbage China chicken. I've offered to make dehydrated chicken for her.

| When I first got Gracie I got her some of that chicken jerky and she got diarrhea. I thought it was because she was a puppy and it just upset her stomach so I stopped giving it to her. I gave it to her again when she was almost full grown and she started vomiting. I'm glad I decided not to ever give it to her again. I am really particular about what I give her and the bag said it was all natural so I thought it was safe. I don't buy any foods or treats that they sell in departments stores for pets anymore. I'm suspicious of much that I see in PetCo as well. |
