Thanks. Will keep a good eye on my pups when they are trying the rawhide. I ordered bullysticks from amazon for the pups. My bigger dogs scoffed them so have ordered double this time. The pups are only 4 months but managed to finish the bully in a few hours.

| Purina does not care they are killing dogs. My Zoey was murdered by them through these treats. I will never buy another Nestle Purina product or support a pet store that sells them. Most people don't even know Purina owns Waggin Train or Canyon Creek.

| Is the name of Purina on the Waggin Train bag? I have looked at it and found very little info about how it is made or by who. |

| petsmart corporate office headquarters 19601 n. 27th ave phoenix, az 85027 petco animal supplies, inc. corporate office headquarters 9125 renco rd san diego, ca 92121 target corporate office headquarters 1000 nicollet mall minneapolis, mn 55403 i plan on hand writing letters to each of these companies corporate office (and others) explaining how much i love their stores and frequent them but will no longer shop there for any reason until these products are off the shelves. i plan on including a copy of the fda warnings in each of my letters to back up my statements. i am also handing out copies of the fda warnings to everyone i know that has pets and urging them to spread the word too. if anyone else writes to any of these companies and gets a response, please let me know what you have heard back. i feel so terrible for all those who have had a pet become ill or die from these tainted treats and i hope it never happens again to a furry family member. my step-sister lost 2 brittany spaniels within 2 weeks of each other from kidney failure after consuming waggin train treats a couple years back. this has to stop!

| Have you thought of filling a report and maybe a lawsuit that would also help get the word out and might eventually make something happen. I had no idea Purina owned them until I did some research. I don't have a choice but to shop at Petsmart and Petco its the only pet stores we have.

| I want to urge everyone reading this to do everything you can because if enough of us step forward and do anything we can it can make a difference. Email and write your news stations, news papers, stores selling the treats, the company and if you have been effected file a lawsuit.

Nestlé Purina adding Waggin' Train to lineup http://www.benny-the-yorkie.com/2012...-waggin-train/ http://www.benny-the-yorkie.com/2012...and-dog-death/ I first called Waggin Train and Canyon Creek both said yes they are owner Purina. When I called Purina to complain they connected me back to Waggin Train.

Someone did file a lawsuit recently and I posted on it. First Lawsuit filed over Chicken Jerky Treats Purina doesn't want people to know they are the makers that is why they are not on the label. Plus when they bought the company (2 or so years ago) they agreed to keep the plant/production in China per the Purina rep I talked too.

| The power of major corporation is very wide spread. Thanks for crusading against these treat too. I know Zoey would be very thankful to you for this, too.

| I am so sorry for your loss. It could very easily have been Callie, we fed her two of those treats a day. We need to unite more then not and so much can be done. I try to post something about it everyday on my facebook page and tell people when I'm out as much as possible. I have written Petco and Petsmart.

| This whole thing is so outrageous! I am sick of this country being sold out to China. People are concerned about the unemployment rate and yet just about anything you buy these days is make in China either totally or in part! How can it possibly be cheaper to make a product all the way on the other side of the world and then ship it all the way back here? If business conditions are so bad in this country then we need to elect officials that will bring industry back to this country both for quality purposes as well as supplying employment for those who have learned not to work for a living. We actually pay people not to work while shipping our industry to the other side of the world......and borrow money billions from China to do it! Something is not right here and it's time to do something about it at every level! |
