Petsmart got smart!!! Chicken from china PetSmart I rarely look at Facebook, but I just saw this! I looked online and the brand is not listed there for treats. Finally! January 9 PetSmart has removed certain Milo’s Kitchen dog treats and all dog treats by Canyon Creek Ranch from its stores due to voluntary product recalls and withdrawals by the manufacturers. For information about the specific products affected, please visit the manufacturer’s websites: www.miloskitchen.com<http://www.miloskitchen.com/> and www.waggintrainbrand.com<http://www.waggintrainbrand.com/> If you’ve purchased these dog treats, please stop feeding them to your pet and bring any remaining products to a PetSmart store for a full refund. If you’re concerned about your dog’s health, please contact a veterinarian immediately. PetSmart sells a variety of other dog treats by Authority, Blue Buffalo, Hill's Science Diet, Simply Nourish and other brands. Our store associates can help you select the right treat for your pet. |
its about time...should be done at every store!!! thanks for posting. |
:thumbup: |
It may be tough to lose that profit, but it's a lot tougher to lose customers because they lost their dogs. I am glad to hear that this is finally the case, and I hope all other stores who sell these pet products reject them as well. Kudos to PetSmart. |
I noticed when I was at the store that they had the shelfs cleared. FINALLY! |
Antibiotics? Went to waggintrain site, Waggin' Train - Delicious Dog Treats and Chews - Wholesome dog treats They claim there was an antibiotic issue, that this is not due to the FDA investigation we are aware of. |
I didn't think that the antibiotics were the cause of the kidney problems, but based on something I read a couple of days ago, I now think it is possible that the antibiotics were the culprit. The antibiotic residue that was found were all sulfa drugs. There are some problems when it comes to some dogs and sulfa drugs (alergic reaction, etc). Sulfa drugs are just one of many classes of antibiotics. Disclaimer: I haven't seen any scientific sources come out and say that sulfa drugs can cause Fanconi syndrome in dogs (but I haven't really looked for them). So read this link with that in mind, it is an example of what is going around with regards to this issue. I have NOT searched more to see if I can find anything to back up these claims: Drug Residues Directly Linked to Illness, Death of Dogs Fed Waggin' Train & Milo's Pet Treats | Poisoned Pets | A Consumer Guide to Pet Food SafetyPoisoned Pets | A Consumer Guide to Pet Food Safety |
I'd like to see Walmart do that... HAHAHAHA God forbid, they take a hit in their goal to take over the world. :( |
This link backs up what is in the link above (although the info is in relation to humans, not dogs): http://www.ccjm.org/content/69/4/289.full.pdf The third page of the link above has a table that shows that sulfa drugs can cause "Acute Interstitial Nephritis," and Fanconi syndrome is associated with AIN: Medscape: Medscape Access We may indeed have the culprit. I sure hope so, because that would mean this could be tested for and prevented in the future. However, even with testing I have NO faith in any food products from China, so I won't buy them anyway. |
