Pure 100% pumpkin. You can get it at the grocery store.....pie area....but not pie filling....this is just cooked pure pumpkin.....depending on her weight....I'm assuming small.....2 or 3 teaspoons......it will work, I guarantee it. My dog just had diarrhea for days until I found out about the pumpkin....pure pumpkin......and it stopped within an hour or so.

See if you can find it at the store... If not, PM your address and I'll send you a couple of packets.

I just wanted to clarify this post. The jerky I make my yorkies is totally plain, nothing added, just the beef or chicken. The seasoning packet I have is for our consumption - the yorkies do not get any of that.

Diva loves these. Guess, that's $16 in the garbage, but anything's worth it to keep her healthy. Maybe I can make my own...

You can return them and get your money back. I did and I didn't even have a receipt.

Thank you so much for the post!!! I give Prince Mellow Mut chicken strips once in a while. They are only sold here in vet's offices...I'm getting ready to check to see where they are made.

Princes mom · 02-09-2009, 05:31 PM

Mellow Mut's all natural chicken breast strips is MADE IN CHINA!!!!!!!

We dehydrate meat for Bailey, too. No seasonings - just turkey breast and/or venison. (hubby hunts!). Since I don't add any preservatives - we keep our dehydrated treats in the freezer.

I recieved some in our Christmas GE box,and my gang loved them. I bought a package..they're pricey,especially with 3 pups. I too make my own. Slice the meat and deyhydrate in my own machine. They love it. It's so sad that this made in China thing is always coming up. Food,Toys and now Dogfood. Thanks for the heads up.

I just bought my doggie a bag of Kingdom Pets from Costco last night and she had a few pieces. A few hours later, I had to rush her to the emergency vet because she was throwing up. The vet gave her a shot to stop with the vomiting and she's been pretty good until now. But now she has diarrhea. I offered her some boiled chicken breast with white rice but so far, she hasn't eaten anything. Maybe the pumpkin will help. But I'm glad she isn't throwing up anymore. I had no idea this was going on with these products until I did a search last night on here. I can't believe they still sell these things and I can't believe I was dumb enough to buy them for her.

O yes, throw them out! I too bought chicken jerky at costco and it made my Maddie very sick!!!!! she had bloody diarrhea for two days and had to be rushed to the vet!!!!!! Thank goodness she is ok now but we had quite a scare. It happened twice and I finally figured it out.

It makes me sooo angry that they are still available to buy

Another YT member (Chattiesmom) recommended Kona Chips. 100% Chicken Jerky Strips Made in USA. I just ordered 1 pound of them!!!

Yes, I was told my another YT member they are made in china.

I used to give my dogs vitality chicken jerky until I found out they were MADE IN CHINA!!!!!!!! NERVER AGAIN!!!!!!

Kris Christine · 05-13-2009, 03:05 AM

Yes, in very small print on the back, it says "Made in China." I don't understand why these products are still on the shelves.

toke · 05-13-2009, 03:34 AM

I think it's almost impossible to really know what's in this stuff unless you quiz the manufacturer. The thing is, it can be made in the USA, but they don't have to list where they buy the ingredients. China exports a lot of basic ingredients cheaply, so US companies buy them for their products. I'm sure they're being a lot more careful now, but still......

Absolutely correct!! After giving my Toto the "China Poison" for quite a while, and after several hundred $$$ testing, we found Kona's Chips. They are great! We keep them in the freezer too. Toto went through withdrawal just like a drug addict when we took away the Made in China strips!! It was horrible and she would almost beat us on the chest with her little paws and begging with her shiny little glassy eyes!!!

I will never buy anything made in china again!!
