I know everyone is tired of all the warnings, etc., but I have to wonder if China is trying to make pets in our country extinct!!?
There was a warning a while back about the strips that they sell at Sams's so I sought another source. I have been buying them from a lady on EBay and they supposedly are fresh and made by her. The first time we received them I found it odd ... they looked
identical, smelled the same and Toto was just as addicted to them as she has been the others. They come sealed in Food Saver bags so I convinced myself it was OK. I still had a nagging doubt in the back of my mind and occasionally looked online for strips that I felt more confident about.
I found some [Durango Pet Products] a couple of weeks ago that sounded really promising and almost recommended them here to all the little Chicken strip lovers. I ordered a couple of bags. Meanwhile, I found
another site ... an
amazing site ... a real eye opener!! I was so impressed with the information and the "gut feeling" that I was reading the truth that I went ahead and ordered some of those and they were sending samples ASAP so poor addicted Toto wouldn't have to suffer withdrawals! As my luck would have it ... the Durango strips came before the samples. Yep!! In little letters ... "Made In China"!! I was furious and tossed 'em! The very next day we received the samples from the second site and when we opened them, Patrick & I almost ate one!!
The smell was unbelievable ... smelled just like fresh cooked chicken, yummmmm, and Toto
loves them!
I didn't mean to ramble on but would like to invite you to read what I have read and draw your own conclusions about this. The web address is:
Konas's Chips The chips are thinner and shaped differently that the strips that Toto is accustomed to but I can promise you, I will buy these for her for as long as they sell them and have peace of mind knowing that she isn't going to be poisoned! These are more in keeping with the amount of protein I want her to have too and I know for certain that she isn't eating a product that contains Melamine!! Please be sure to check out the links on Kona's Story at the bottom of the page.
