| Yeah, I fed Lex those Milo's Kitchen chicken meatballs for several months until I found out about them. She didn't seem to react badly, and she loved them! But I wasn't taking any chances.

| I was at my drug store picking up a prescription and on the counter to the left of me someone had left a bag of those jerky treats. After I paid for my medicine I picked up the bag and turned to my young adult daughter and told her in a bit of a high volume voice that she should never buy these treats (she does not have a dog) Then I continued about how they have been killing hundreds of dogs because of the China made ingredients in them. There was quite a line of people there plus other shoppers. I thought my daughter was going to die of embarrassment because I had deliberately said this so loud in front of so many people. I told her when we got to the car that it was the least I could do in making a public service announcement about the foul product in order to warn other people who might be dog owners in the store. She didn't agree with me. Sometimes I wonder if maybe she got switched at birth. A joke! Just a joke! Sort of. |

| I really wish the pet stores would say hey wait a minute these are killing dogs and we care more about our customers and there pets then making money off of these treats but just like most of the world they are money hungry. Just makes me sick. Maybe the stores that carry them should be sued too.

| I am so glad I'm so picky about treats... My two rarely get treats and they are all from the US and brands that I respect. I feel so horrible for the people who have lost pets because of treats made in China

agree, truly the problem the stores still sell them because the world revolves around making money and not about caring for the animal that is actually eating them. if only it were so easy but they do the same with human products. they sell us stuff that is not good for us...crappy ingredients and we still buy and eat them. sad sad stat of affairs is what i think.

| Those very chicken treats almost killed Jack...... I really need to get all my vet bills together and file on online complaint. (2) years ago, I keep telling the vet and the specialist I believe this is what did it. Jack and Josie both were sick but Josie pulled out and got better rather quickly. Jack, however had to go to and spcialist and stay over night. I cannot believe they still have this mess on the market. Anytime I am in the store where they sell that stuff if I see anyone getting them I tell them Dont buy that unless you want to kill you dog. |

| I hate to sound paranoid but if pet stores and vet's don't care about the fact that dogs are dying or at the very least getting very sick, do they all just want to make money off this product? I know that not all vets would stay silent about a harmful product but there seems to be a majority that are saying nothing. I expect department stores and chain pet stores to be uncaring money grabbing entities but I'm pretty sure every vet in the country has or should have known about this issue by now. They should have flyers and alerts for their clients. I do agree that human food is also in a very sad state. It just takes longer to kill us with it, at least for now. |
