2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Ew Gross, dog treats w/ larva & mold . Ew Gross, I just found larva/worms in the bottom of the box. For months and months now we have had an invasion of tiny little moths all around our house. They seem to be more present around the basement stairs. Well now I know why. We keep the dog treats on a shelf right at the top of the stairs and today when I was transferring an open box of Alpo dog treat biscuits from the box to a glass cookie jar and when the box over flowed onto the counter top and that is when I found them. Ew ew ew . . did I say Gross already ?? I don't know if they were in there when we bought them months ago or if the tiny moths laid eggs in there after it was opened. Either way they went right into the trash. My guess is that they were in there when we bought them because we didn't have a problem with them before. As if that wasn't enough make me mad than I go to the basement where I keep extras and get another box (different brand) and I find mold. Not on all but on some of the treats/biscuits but I didn't find it until I gave them to the dogs. The box has never gotten wet so I don't understand how they have mold on them. Maybe the basement is just to moist and I need to find another storage place. I've got one more box to open to see if it has any mold or bug in it. If so, I guess the pups will be going without until I can get to the store. Does anyone know if mold can harm my pups ?

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | They were on sale !! They normally get the Scooby Doo snacks but wanted to try something different. They are so picky that I was surprised that they even liked them.

| Yucky sounds horrible. Even more YUCK on ALPO !!!!! That falls in the same line as Ol Roy. Much better treats out there.

| Ok, I'm really grossed out by this. Soooo glad that you found the problem and got rid of them all! I hope that you find healthier treats to give your pups. Sorry, I don't have any knowledge about mold and hoping that someone else here can answer that. Cheers! |

| Alpo is owned by Purina and Purina is who made the waggin train chicken jerky treats that killed hundreds of dogs for years before they finally pulled them. Purina is all about profit and they don't care about you dog so they don't care about the ingredients they are using so personally I would not trust there products. Also I am guessing if some of there treats are made in China most probably are or at least the ingredients. So maybe god was saving you and your pups by making them unusable.

We have never used the Chicken jerky treats and never will. I'm not sure if any of the treats we have are made in China, never looked. But you could be right Taylor.. We'll be looking for new treats that's for sure.
