2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Oh NO What did I do! My baby ate Waggin Chicken Jerky treats. . !! I just got back from my mothers home where I go when my babies need clipped. Well silly me I forgot the Scooby Do Snacks for when I was done with Miah. As soon as I was done she was following me around the house begging and begging for her treat. I tried several other things but nothing would satisfy her. I was determine to just let it go until we got home and than my mother offers her a jerky treat, she loved it, so I finished giving her just a small portion when all of a sudden..... I remembered "Waggin Train Chicken Treats" Oh holy crap.... I said "are those Waggins"? And my mother didn't get why I was so upset. Once I told her that there have been reports of dogs dieing after eating them she just says that her dogs eat them all of the time. She didn't seem to concerned. Ok now what ? I remember a thread here on YT. I didn't read all of the warning that were posted and can not find the thread. Miah seems fine, and I hope she will be ok ... it's been about two hours since she ate them. What should I look for ? Will she be oK ?

| I think she will be ok. My babies ate many bags of them over the years and only problem was Teddy throwing up. As soon as we realized it was the jerkies and quit giving them to him he was fine.

| I'm lost. Are you worried about Fanconi-like syndrome showing up in your dog from the treats? I think dogs were eating them over a period of time before that happened. Routine blood work might be useful, but I'm not sure I'd run to the vet with a bag of chicken treats for no reason unless the dog had some symptoms or unless I wanted them to induce vomiting. Why not just call your vet and ask what to do?

| Some of the dogs that ate these developed kidney or liver disease. You probably don't have anything to worry about but, if you wanted to put your mind at ease blood work could be done. I hope your mom stops using these products too, it's just to dangerous.

| Honestly, I'd have a margarita and some dinner. I'm sure it's fine. Just don't give anymore. Do bloods in a few days if you're very concerned.

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Ok... thanks guys! Whoa... I think I'll take that Margarita now. I just wasn't sure what to expect since I didn't have the entire story of the treats to know what was going on. I just saw the part where dog were dying form them. She's fine... no sign of illness from eating them. She''s out in the yard barking as usual. Dawn

| I'm sure she'll be fine, but I copied this for others who may read this: This post is in response to the death of my dog Chelsea. My dog was a healthy border collie mix. She had shown no signs of any illness until one night I come home to find her lethargic at the bottom of the stairs. She could not move or stand up. Thankfully we have a 24 hour vet nearby. She was taken immediately and given a check up and had blood work done. The blood work came back with high spikes in her liver enzymes which the vet said was due to something that she ingested. The only thing that that had been introduced to her diet recently was Waggin Train chicken jerky treats. I had been feeding them to my dog for a few months (she loved them). I immediately stopped feeding her the treats. After being off the treats for a week she had another round of blood work and her liver enzymes started to return to normal. We had 1 more round of blood scheduled in 2 weeks to make sure that her liver has returned to normal. But unfortunately Chelsea did not live that long. I woke up on the morning of May 30th to her having a Gran Mal Seizure due to high toxin levels and she died in my arms. After her death I started researching Waggin Train Jerky treats and was amazed to find the large number of people that had posted instances of illness or death of their pet and they felt very strongly that the treats contributed to the illness or death. The FDA has issued an advisory concerning the feeding of chicken jerky products from China. Based on the fact that my dog had high liver enzymes and the vet attributed it to her ingesting something toxic and the fact that her liver enzymes started to return to normal after I stopped feeding her the treats I believe that the Waggin Train chicken jerky treats that I had been feeding her contributed to her death. I am not saying that every treat or every bag is dangerous but with them coming from China you never know what was added to them in the Chinese facility. My suggestion, stay away from them and you will also stay away from a $1000.00 vet bill like I had as well as the loss of a pet. JUST BEWARE. If you have experienced similar problems pass the word around. You can also file a complaint with the FDA. My suggestion is to do your own research, just Google waggin train jerky illness. You can read comments from other pet owners and make you own decision as to whether you want to feed this brand of treat or any other that is imported from China to your pet. I am posting this in memory of my beloved Chelsea and hope that the post will help to save the life of other pets. As consumers we should be able to question the safety of a product if we feel that it has caused harm. After my first post a friend that Lives in Las Vegas said that they had given their dog these treats and their dog had bloody diarrhea so they stopped feeding their dog the treats and their dogs bowels returned to normal.

| From most of the stories I read the dogs ate more than one of the treats so I think she should be ok. Here are a couple threads I've seen on YT: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...rky-alert.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ken-jerky.html http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...stigation.html

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Thank you.... I must send those links to my mother. She has been feeding her pups them for years ! She didn't seem to be the least bit concerned by the warnings when I told her about them!!

| My Zoey is in renal failure right now because of the Waggin Train/Canyon Creek treats by Nestle Purina. Everyday is a fight.
