| Way to go Petco, Chinese treats I think this is a great step and I hope to Petsmart do the same. BREAKING: Petco to Discontinue Selling ALL Pet Food and Treats from China | The Dogington Post

| Awesome, and it's about darn time. Our local news had a story about an adorable 5 yr old surfing Chi dying after having chicken jerky sold at Walmart. How long will it take for all the stores to get the message that junk from China is killing pets???

| I feel for those who have needlessly lost a beloved friend. Petco has agreed to stop carrying them by the end of the year but what about NOW! And other companies.

| yay that is great news and everything I go in there and talk to an associate looking for a good treat I comment oh no that's made in China not buying that.....I agree and hope Petsmart / Walmart and all others follow the leader on this.

| I imagine in the end it all has to do with money and they want to sell off all the treats and not repurchase them instead of just pulling them off the shelves. I was surprised to read an article that said some private testing found deet in the chicken jerky. Even with waggin train being back on the market I noticed my Petsmart has yet to put them on the shelves again.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | This is HUGE - and awesome, wow!! We will end up having to pay more for treats, but it's so worth the lowered risk!

| I read that they will be off Petco shelves by the end of the YEAR!!! They want to sell what they have I guess. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

| Great news but so sad it took this long. And I heard on TV news they'll still sell it for the rest of the year!!! If it's so dangerous, how can they possibly continue to profit off it??????

| It will say where it's made at on the bag. I think honestly it's safer to get a dehydrator and make your own. Waggin train that is by Purina was the top one then there where a few others.
