BANNED! | Wal-Mart Removes Bestro Chicken Jerky Strips After Dog Death... Here's the link to the article I found. For some reason Walmart is trying to keep it silent and just remove them from the shelves, but several deaths have occured already. Don't feed your pets these treats!! http://www.itchmo.com/wal-mart-remov...dog-death-2321 |

| I saw this notice yesterday by Little Bit in Yorkie Health & Diet and made the comment in that thread that I was there last week and tried to purchase that exact same bag but the register wouldn't take the bar code it just said don't sell this item....my heart started racing when she told me it had been recalled for salmonella...but yet they still had them on the shelf, and big box of them!!

| I just came home from Walmart, and they're all off the shelves here, thank God !! We buy the Waggin' Train brand in the 2 lbs bag. OMG I just ran and got the bag and THESE are made in China as well SHOOT~! Now I'm scared to death to feed these to the girls, though it's the brand that we've always used. The Bestro ones my girls didn't like when we tried them months ago. Now I'm wondering if I should just take these back. We still have a few pieces left from the last bag, and there have been no symptoms of anything funny with them, but who knows if this next bag wouldn't be contaminated? I'm really starting to hate China right now, they are trying to KILL us all!

I'm going to contact the company before I open this next bag. One good thing is that they DO NOT say "Not for human consumption" like the Bestro ones

| You got it, and I think that they are out to get us I don't know why, they make so much money from selling their products here. Maybe it's time for a trade embargo against them. How many tainted products will have to be discovered before our government steps in to stop it? Grrr I'll let everyone know what they say about the Waggin' Train brand ones, I'm getting ready to email them now. I pray that these are safe, because my girls LOVE them so much!

In light of everything you've seen recently about all the poison pet food and treats could you really feel absolutely safe, secure and confident that what their about to eat is untainted and not give it a second thought?....

| I used to give these to my Maltichon, Chloe. When I got my Yorkie, Bella, I stopped buying them because she would try to swallow it whole, even if I broke it up in pieces for her. She almost choked on a piece once. I'm glad I don't buy these anymore. Thanks for sharing.

| I just don't understand why people keep buying dog food and treats from Wal-Mart and places like that with all the problems they've had. What does it take to make people learn? There are so many other places to buy pet food - granted no where is 100% safe, but Wal-Mart seems to be pretty bad... |

| I'm a getting scard to give Megan any treats. I had to go out of town Friday ,(first time I left her alone ) I came home and she had blood in her stool. my daughter had come out to check her twice and said she was crying. her stools were Ok this morning but I went out to feed the cat & hubby was holding her & she started shaking & crying. I'm thinking about getting her a sister so she won't be alone. |
