To the OP....I'm so very sorry for your loss, how heartbreaking! I admire you for trying to make others aware of this problem.

I posted on another thread about the frustration I had at Pet Supplies Plus recently. I stood for over 45min. going through the various "natural type of jerky treats and could not find one brand or package that was made in the states, I asked the clerk who was dumber than a rock and clueless about this issue, I finally left disgusted. I suggest that we start with the top of these changes and send them email after email, or jam their phone lines telling them to buy american made treats. What is really bad though is that the treat manufacturers might make the treats in the USA but buy raw ingredients from out of the country, or their suppliers buy ingredients from outside the country. It's a trickle down deal that is easy to hide. There might be some law that now requires you to state that some ingredients are from China or where ever, but i am not sure, does anyone know that.

It seems everything we buy anymore is from China in one form or another. It's time everyone in this country gets together and says enough is enough!

Bring back industry and business to the USA! Stop selling our country to China!
You have both touched on what in my mind is even a bigger concern. Products labeled "made in China" can mostly be avoided. However, it's those components added to foods, treats, etc. that we can never be certain are not sourced from China. I remember all to well the dog food recalls of a few years back (Chinese mfgrs trying to artificially boost protein levels by adding melamine to wheat and corn glutens, also to rice protein) and that is why I started home preparing my gang's meals.

The only dog food or treats I currently trust is by Wysong. Otherwise I make home prepared meals (recipes provided by canine nutritionist) and home prepared treats.

This thread has made me question the food I give to Sophie Kate. I need to research a little further Hills Science Diet and the Charlie Bear treats that she gets.

Again to the OP I am sorry for your loss and thank you for the warning.

JenCar and the other posters who mentioned the fillers coming from China, thank you for bringing that to my attention- Honestly I never knew.

I am so sorry for your loss. I just do not understand why these things are still being sold in our stores....this has been a known problem for years. Horrible.

Here is the list from the 2007 recall:

To the OP, I hope you lab is doing OK, I have been thinking about you.

I just looked at bag of milk bone brand pork chews, not sure when I bought them but they were not opened, after reading the fine print, I saw those were made in China, jeezzze I thought you could not get more American than the Milk Bone brand.

I just partially cooked a sweet potato and cut it into sticks, this along with carrots and cooked chicken, will be Lola's treats from now on. Hope the milk bones themselves are OK, because they seem to help keep her teeth nice and white and her breath pretty good.

That's a very good question.

There are hundreds of comments on their Facebook page about dogs becoming very ill and dying after consuming their chicken jerky products. I only went back to December, I'm sure there are many more.

They point the finger back at the consumers, claiming we all overfed our dogs.

Everyone has the same story, it's very sad.

I read some of the Facebook comments, why in the world are these things still on the shelves?

Dustinread 02-02-2012 01:15 AM
Thank you.

Buddy, my Lab, was tested on Monday and all of his test results came back fine and he has finally gotten over his diarrhea after 3 weeks.

We have only fed our 3 dogs WellnessŪ, from their regular dog food to dog treats.

The one time we buy something new, this is the result. The crazy thing is Canyon Creek Ranch Brand is a company of Waggin' Train, LLC., which is a subsidiary of Nestle Purina. You would think that such a big brand would want to protect its name; apparently that does not matter.

I saw that and it really angers me. You dog did not die from being overfed it died from contamination in their product. It should not matter how much you give your dog if the product is tainted it is hazardous. :mad: Corporate America once again accepts no responsibility for their actions choosing to instead blame the victim and continue to sell products they know are harmful.

So very glad to hear Buddy's tests came back good and that he's feeling better. Still so sorry for your loss. Continued prayers.

Tessa327 02-02-2012 01:26 PM
That's just terrible. I'm glad we stopped purchasing treats made from China when we first heard. I'm sorry for the loss and offer our condolences. No pet owner should have to go through this. And to think we used to purchase Canyon Creek!

My baby loves the canyon creek chicken chips. She just turned her nose up at 2 other treats I offered her. She had caught me looking at the bags where I keep the treats so she came begging for one. I hate to dispose of them, but I know I shouldn't take the chance. I printed out the FDA statement, Caution to Dog Owners About Chicken Jerky Products, and will bring it with me when I try to return the over half a bag I have left to PetSmart.

It's hard, because she is so picky about her treats, and I felt good thinking I was giving her chicken and not just some other junk. What on earth could be in these treats that causes a problem?

I assume the yams and sticks wrapped with chicken are also bad :( I guess it's ANY China made treat that has to go, right?

So sorry for your loss, at least you have done good and hopefully helped others avoid this problem. You might want to look for forums for other popular breeds and post there. Maybe if enough people return, or stop buying, they will get the message.

Aaagh, I'm so mad. For $10/pound for these darn treats you'd really THINK they were a good thing.

KendraE 02-03-2012 08:46 AM
So very sorry for your loss....Ive never tried the chicken jerky for my babies...and I never will thanks to you sharing your story. Many prayers for you

Tessa327 03-08-2012 12:42 AM
I can't believe they still sell it at our pet stores and at a reduced price! They should take it off the shelf all together. Shameful.

Yorkiemom1 03-08-2012 02:51 AM
My friend lost all 4 of her Yorkies several years ago, before it became well known that these jerky treats from China were killing our pets. I personally stay away from ALL pet treats and only give mine human food for treats, especially since treats are just small "rewards"and not the mainstay of their diets. Green beans are a favorite around here, and then Cheerios and vanilla wafers and Gold Fish.

You can dehydrate your own chicken and sweet potatoes quite easily by baking at a low temp (250) for about 3 hours. All natural and you know exactly what is in them.

Thank you for sharing your story and I'm so very sorry for your loss.

I do not buy treats Made in China for my pets but as people point out the companies mislead and lie.

anniernc 03-08-2012 06:31 AM
My thoughts and prayers are with you. My your sweet baby rest in peace at the bridge with all the other Fur Angels. We try to do the rest for our babies and it's so sad that something like this happened. I wouldn't have known to check labels to see where treats come from.

Angels Mom 03-08-2012 10:14 PM
I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us know about this product. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help get "made in China" products off the market. I think "they" are not in our best interest. Our fur children & real children are our most important assets. They give us their love.
What would we be without that. Please let me know if I can help in anyway.

GypsyVille 03-09-2012 08:11 AM
I'm so sorry for the loss of your Yorkie. This is heartbreaking, No one should have to lose a pet because of a treat! Thank you for sharing your story.

MikaTallulah 03-19-2012 05:08 PM
I can't believe Purina is the maker of this poisonous product ;( Zoey ate Waggin Train treat and is now sick. My vet and I have filled complaints/cases without the FDA, Waggin Train, and Purina. All my dogs ate them at some point but Zoey ate them everyday:(

dawn27 03-19-2012 05:16 PM
That is so sad and I am so sorry for your loss. I will do everything I can to spread the word so that other do not have to endure such a great loss and I thank you for coming to YT and helping others here by telling your story.

Tessa327 03-19-2012 07:19 PM
More than a year ago I was feeding them these, I simply didn't know. But now I'm glad we found other safer options. It really needs to go off the shelf :(

Looking into purchasing a dehydrator :)
