Yorkie Dead & Lab Sick After Consuming Canyon Creek Ranch Brand "Chicken Jerky" - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Benny and the sickness your poor lab has suffered as well. Thank you for making us aware of the dangers of these treats. I hope you are able to change the policy of these store owners who sell contaminated treats to an unsuspecting public without posting warnings about possible contamination issues.

There are thousands of free recipes for making pet food and treats.

Totally agree. And this a worldwide problem. I personally wouldn't feed my family dehydrated/rehydrated food from anywhere apart from my own kitchen - especially for the Littlies that don't have any say in the matter

I am so, so sorry for what you're going through....and thank you for giving us all a heads up...Sally + Harry x

Sorry for your loss....I think it's time for me to start buying at my local dog treat bakery....

I usually feed cheerios, raw baby carrots, raw sweet potatoes slices and raw sliced apples as treats. I am so sorry for your loss. This is truly sad.

so very sorry for the loss of your precious dog, thank you for taking the time to post here.

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.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Ever sense there has been a problem with chicken jerky we make our own and wont buy any treats from China.

Sami_girl · 01-30-2012, 02:15 PM

I am sorry for you loss.

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

LovinOurYorkies · 01-30-2012, 04:13 PM

So very sorry for your loss. Praying for your lab. Thank you for sharing your story and spreading the word about these products,

So sorry for your loss. I buy only Kona chicken treats. They are made in the USA and are a little pricy but my gang just loves them.

Patti · 01-30-2012, 08:33 PM

I am so sorry about your loss.

There is so much information left off our pet food labels. Who even knew until a few years ago that pet food companies imported "fillers" from China and were putting them in our pet food?

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!
