| There are several freeze dried treats on Amazon. Many are made from healthy grass fed meat sources. Amazon.com: freeze dried dog treats: Pet Supplies |

Senior Yorkie Talker | My little Nicky had a seizure on new years day, it was HORRIABLE, my vet said it was the wagon train treats I had given them!! He is better now, but I REALLY REALLY pay attention now before ANYTHING is given to my babies

| You don't have to cook with a dehydrator just cut the chicken and put it in and they love love it.

| This thing with treats....all KINDS of treats....has been going on for YEARS!!! I cant remember when the FIRST crisis arose with dogs dying from liver/kidney failure....??? 2000 ~ 2002 ???...my best friend lost 5 dogs to liver disease, they were all getting those chicken jerky planks....she had been giving them for years....I think nationally, chit hit the fan around 2002??? Anyway, this has been a continal battle with these treats from China, since then.....I am a HUGE advocate of giving my own babies treats that only I would give myself or one of my children, if I had any small children!!.....animal crackers, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, froot loops,honey nut cheerios, cheddar fishes, for meat treats I give chicken toddler vienna suasage (Gerber puts those vienna sausage looking things for toddlers, healthier than actual vienna sausage), canned salmon, green beans, diced cooked carrots, cottage cheese, grated cheddar cheese, and then I got my dehydrator and make all my own chicken and beef jerky. Now I know people are looking at this list of stuff and having seizure activity over "OMG!!! SODIUM content!!!!" Please remember, these are all TREATS that I give....they just get several small bites of a particular item, not a dinner plate full! They do not exist on these treats, these are just for doing special little things, being super good at the vet, or just standing around with those adorable eyes, looking precious!!! The largest quantity given as a treat would be the cottage cheese, and they get a tablspoon maybe once a week.... All the veggies are either canned low sodium or flash frozen veggies....they are not getting overdosed on sodium and they certainly will NOT be getting liver disease or kidney failure from these treats.... There are those of you that homecook/home bake treats for your babies...if I home baked dog treats, that would be the ONLY dog treats/bisquits etc that I would give....they have those tables of baked goods out in PetCo.....I do not know WHO made that stuff and I do not know what is ACTUALLY in all that stuff....I wouldnt give it to one of my children, so I wouldnt give it to one of my dogs. There is absolutely NO REASON for anyone to be buying treats at pet stores....WHY RISK IT????? Last edited by Yorkiemom1; 01-11-2013 at 09:10 AM. |

| They have finally done a recall of the Wagon Train and Milo's Kitchen jerky treats stating that they found trace elements of an antibiotic in the treats. I don't know if that is really the issue but at least they have finally recalled them. Much of the meat on the market is injected with antibiotics, steroids, and hormones throughout the animals lifetime. Trace elements of these things remain in the meat when the animal is slaughtered. Some researchers are looking into this as possible cause of some health problems in humans. One thing to be consider is that when you dehydrate these meats it causes a concentration of the injected materials in the dehydrated product thus causing the dog to ingest much larger quantities of the material. I don't think that even now they know for sure what has been sickening the dogs but I'm glad they have recalled them. I do dehydrate my own chicken for Gracie but I use the all natural chicken that has not been injected throughout it's lifetime. Of course it is much more expensive than the meats on the mass market. Have you seen the size of some of the chicken breasts they are selling? They must have been huge chickens! |
