Chicken Jerky Making Dogs Sick? - Page 2

Viktor ate a bunch of the waggin ones over the weekend. When I picked him up at day-care last night, they said his stool was very wet. Funny, since I just heard of this yesterday here. I am throwing away the chicken jerkey.

China isn't exactly the most human rights friendly place in the world ...let alone worrying about the quality of dog treats they export here...just sayin'

A product may be "made" here in North America and that may mean as little as assembled here . The ingredients can still be a China import . Most kibble manufacturers use the same Vitamin pre-mix and that is made in labs in China .

a tough book to read

I work for a small pet boutique and the outskirts of Phila re filled with small stores just like ours that have done their own research on the China made jerky. We have just stopped carrying Dogswell because of this issue. We carried it because it was one of the imported treats that had a guarantee but now after hearing about illness and having my own dogs get sick after eating it our store has out a notice up to all consumers and we have started sourcing even more US made companies. We currently carry Truchews for chicken jerky. They are US made and sourced through Tyson chicken. For duck and salmon we carry Platos treats, also another US company. It is a scary world where food is concerned, both human and pet.

I threw out all my chicken jerky . Bought some Bison treats from Valley vet and jerky made by our butcher.

I checked out MK's website when I first started seeing their commercials since I won't feed Chinese food that wasn't made in a kitchen in town here. MK's site says the Chicken Jerky are made in China.
