| Beggin Strips After reading the post about Walmart pulling some of their treats off the shelf I have decided to email Purina about their "beggin strips" to see if any of the ingredients are from China. Our dogs love these things. They get one every morning but I do not want to take any chances. My husband thinks I overreact and that the dogs love this treat and they have been safe so far so quit worrying but I have to be sure. I will post what I hear back from Purina.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Yeah, I don't feed beggin strips all the time, but when I do they go crazy. I'd definitely be interested if you get a response.

| After the last recall I am too afraid to give them any treats made by walmart or any other store brands. I am also very picky about what brand name treats I buy. I do give them purina treats since they did noy have any of their treats recalled last time. I fry chicken livers or give them vienna sausages. They love those. I try to give them people food as treats. But the way things are nowdays I don't trust our food either!

| Have you ever looked at the ingredients list? Bacon Flavored Beggin Strips ingredients (taken from Purina's website): Ground wheat, corn gluten meal, wheat flour, ground yellow corn, water, sugar, glycerin, soybean meal, meat, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, bacon fat (preserved with BHA), salt, phosphoric acid, sorbic acid (a preservative), calcium propionate (a preservative), natural and artificial smoke flavors, added color (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, Yellow 6), choline chloride. O-4005 Wheat, corn, more wheat, more corn.... meat? What meat? Beef? Chicken? Dogs? Cats? And there's BHA in there too. Both BHA and BHT have been suspected of causing cancer.... Yucky! |

| I use to feed them, but stopped when all the food problems started. I use mother hubbard liver treats, and they love them.
