More imported poison from China. This is dangerous.

Did anyone REALLY think the Chinese bastards would change their ways?

I am not against Chinese imports. However I think EVERYTHING that comes from China or contains products that come from China should be labeled as such so that we can decide for ourselves if we want to buy it.

I wonder if these “treats” were labeled as to country of origin?

Dogs eat rank meat with gusto. They eat whole bones. They eat poop, and I’ve never seen one of my dogs eat this stuff and get sick from it. If there is something in the chicken meat that is making them sicken and die, it is an introduced chemical or compound they are unable to process.

Thanks for the thread. I had two products, one is Milo's Kitchen and the other Shep made for Aldi. Both made in China and are going in the trash. I have two Poms and give them tiny pieces every time they come in from outside. I thought I was doing good by them not feeding them processed treats.

We’ve been getting “Waggin’ Train Jerky Tenders” (Chicken) - Made In China (MIC) for about 6 months.

Normally my wife covers the labels - no by-products, made in USA but I think someone said “my dog loves these” in the store so she got a bag.

When I saw MIC I called the company to ask about controls because they’re supposedly all natural, no preservatives, no by-products, no fillers, no grain, no polypropylene glycol, no potassium sorbate, no titanium dioxide (what?), no phosphoric acid, no potassium chloride or artificial preservatives.

The listed ingredients are Chicken breast, vegetable glycerin and natural flavor.

The rep for the company said they monitored and tested at every stage and was aware that one bad report could put them out of business.

Now pay attention:

First, these jerky strips are hard and stiff. I have an Aussie and she loves them but I break them up into very small strips and hand feed her (and the cat shows up too). If I give her a big piece it just disappears without a chew.

The “destructions” say you might want to moisten the pieces in hot water to soften them and piece them out. I can see where a big strip being “wolfed down” could injure the dog’s throat.

Second: There are other brands - I checked with this company and feel relatively reassured and our pup and cat show no problems. As always with China if something sells someone will try to make it cheaper, cut corners, etc. - you know the drill.

All I can say is I checked, was reassured, the pets are fine and if a bag rattles I’ve got company. They actually look pretty good - I’ll post if I try one. ;-)
