Hi.

I came here to share my story. I'm really trying to spread the word about the jerky treats distributed by Canyon Creek Ranch Brand, a company owned by Waggin' Train, LLC.

Short story, a few days after giving my Yorkie and Labrador less than 1 treat daily for about a week, my Labrador had severe diarrhea. He was treated for that. At that time, my Yorkie "seemed" fine.

A few days after that, my Yorkie wasn't looking so great so he was taken into the vet. I was told he was suffering from acute kidney failure. Less than a week later, he died.

You can read my full story on a short blog I created.

There are plenty of other horror stories left as product reviews on Amazon.com.

I called up Waggin' Train, LLC. and they offered me money for my medical bills, which I refused because I will not sign a NDA.

I called up PetSmart "corporate" and they are going to escalate the issue and said I should receive a response within 5 business days.

I submitted a claim with the FDA over the weekend and done whatever else I possibly can as an individual.

I am now off to purchase a casket for my Yorkie.

Please educate yourself on this ongoing issue, it is not a joke.

Many of you might already be aware of this tainted chicken jerky from China, I was not. One would assume that PetSmart would post these FDA advisories in their store(s), but they don't. At least not at the 4 Long Island locations I visited over the weekend.

Thanks for reading and please share this story with others.
