Thousands of dogs are ill or dying across North America and it's been going on for years. No one can say what, exactly, made the dogs sick. But owners say they fed their dogs a seemingly harmless product: a popular chicken jerky treat. We investigate.

The woman putting warning signs out is doing an awesome job. She's actually out there doing what is needed to prevent others from heartache. She's great!
Angeloublue32 the companies should be putting those stickers on the dog treats. That woman is a good person.
We need to boycott these companies, by Not Buying Any Of Their Products and educate as many people as we can and along with us, get them to put the sticker on all those evil pet killing products that are still on the shelves.
I can't wait until she gets a arrested for damaging the packages lol that would make a better story
Now if only someone would do the same for PetArmor flea meds....
Angeloublue32 cuz she's savage
My dog died of kidney failure. Fed him that exact brand they had on there. A stop needs to be put to this immediately!
❤
I'm so sorry.
So sorry...
Same here. I have given the same brand and type of treat to our two dogs. One died unexpectedly back in July 2019...the other has kidney problems now and is on medication twice a day to help her live as long as possible.
My cat died of kidney failure. The vet new immediately because her 2 cats at home had kidney issues and were on meds to keep them alive. My poor kitty didn't make. This is disgusting and the people marketing these products need to be sued.
It’s 2022 and these treats are still sold. I’ve bought these for my English Bulldog and she loved them. Thankfully I only bought it once. Several months later, I see this video 😔 I’m so sorry to all those who lost their fur babies. Truly breaks my heart. I’ll do a better job of researching products b4 giving it to my Bella
Go see a "class action" lawsuit lawyer and file a lawsuit.
Never trust those treats just throw in the trash can
This video saved the lives of my 3 dogs.I started to notice my dogs peeing excessively and my oldest was almost dead by the 5th day after feeding the chicken treats.They are still being sold at Walmart in Canada.I saw the video and stopped giving them to the dogs and they recovered.
I’m so glad they got better. My cat has chronic kidney disease from Hartz flea spot. We applied it and he had seizures within an hour. His kidneys failed that day. He survived, but has been sick his whole life. He has to take subcutaneous fluids, 5 daily medications, supplements, and prescription food. Many couldn’t afford to keep their pet alive, if this happened. I do it, to my detriment, but I’m lucky to have the option. AVIOD HARTZ FLEA SPOT! They have not changed the formula at all.
Why buy human or pet food from China at all?
RyanBlockb5 ...its cheaper and people are hypnotized.
Save 3.00 for what they spend the 3.00 on garbage from the dollar store.
Good question but the answer is that I didn’t know Those treats were made in China and how bad they were at the time. But when the vet told me what happened and why... I never bought crap from China again. Hard to do back in 2015 -16 when almost EVERYTHING was made in China for some odd reason. Question is why was food brought in for us consumers to feed our animals to begin with?? China is literally disgusting for doing this! I had no clue back then that China was poisoning us through this, lead & other poisons.
True China are killing people and animals.
A lot of our food comes from China but they don't label it as such cause they hide it from us.
@@GenXLostInTxthat is Criminal .
Four years later, (2019) these products are *still on the shelf,* and this video didn't change a thing.
Tuff OleBird Absolutely. Because the manufacturer's clearly don't care, and are getting by with it, and are *still selling it.* 😟
The FDA should be abolished they are being paid off by the companies that are killing us with all the poison in food, water, air ,and the shots causing autisum, etc.
Frank Lombardi Absolutely agreed.
@@hiyapal7719 its disgusting! I just saw this today 1/5/2020 for the first time. I just gave my 3 dogs chicken jerky treats bought at Walmart yesterday!!!! GAHhhhhhhh! As soon as i get home from work today I am checking the packaging and more than likely those things are getting trashed! I hope and pray I have not already harmed my doggos. I had heard of the dog food recalls but not about the treats before. I posted this video to FB and will do so every month or so just to keep it circulating. I know we have so many issues to deal with in the World that some may consider more important but it is an easy thing to do and may help someones cherished pet.
Lisa Marie VA Absolutely! ❤ Thank you, for helping keep the warning out there. It's so sad and scary. I hope that your fur babies are ok. 😟❤
I admire this lady for standing up for our pets. I feel sorry for her losing her dog in a horrible way. I truly believe that she lost her dog for a higher purpose, she is saving our dogs. Thank you and sorry for your loss
Call the television channels!
A modern day
DORIS DAY.
she was an animal activist.
Capitalism was the cause, be uase of cheap materials, and people want cheap! Don't go crying when your dollar voted for it.
What has she accomplished in 8 eyars tho? Nothing has changed because of her or this report in either Canada or the US - dog food IS loosely regulated by the US FDA (unlike what this report implies) and pet food makers can do WTF they want to without any oversight still.
Praise God for that brave lady, who boldly put the stickers on the poisonous treats! Thanks sooo much for exposing the culprits, thus informing the uninformed, and saving many other precious dogs' lives..
She is doing what the government needs to be doing. Suppose a store manager has her arrested? Then what?
Amen 🙏
Praise the brave lady
I bought a food dehydrator and my wife makes home made chicken jerky for our dogs because we can make it for half the cost and better quality control, we did this before we knew about this problem, now I am so glad we did.
Good man.
I have done this since 2010. Some people think I am doing too much for my dogs, well. Look at this.
@@rilence I have done it too and always got called a weirdo for it, but the same people came for my dehydrator when the 07 recalls occurred that's for sure!
@@rilence I hate when you care for your pet and ppl say you're doing too much or that your dog is spoiled. 😡
Frosts my shorts big time! 😡
@@rilence why do you care what someone else says? Weird comment. Simple fix: don’t talk about it. It’s nobody’s business.
If these treats are so safe and just chicken as the companies claim, then maybe CEO's should be forced to eat it for a week as their only meals
James Webb Jr ur sick
@@54545flipperdipper no they’re smart. If the people making these treats are not willing to eat it, why are we giving it to our dogs?
@@54545flipperdipper r/whoosh!
💯👍
Lost 2 beautiful puppies from the treats in 7 days. They became lethargic, bleeding out of butts, vets acts like they don't want to say it's the treats. If you never gave them any treats before, it's the treats!
Our Lhasa Apso, Lacy Mae, was a "middle aged", healthy dog who moved with us from Alaska to Arizona the end of 2012. We were gifted chicken jerky treats by someone who was given them and didn't even own a dog. They were in a bulk bag, no label. Shortly after Lacy Mae began enjoying the treats she began having profuse and bloody diarrhea. We packed her off to the vet who diagnosed salmonella poisoning! Luckily she pulled through with full time nursing care in our home that required isolation practices to protect my husband, myself, and our parrot from infection. Thank God for my nurse's training many years ago. I never saw a label but saw products like those treats on the shelves and began scrutinizing labels.
Twenty years ago we bought a Christmas stocking full of doggy chew treats from a warehouse store and our standard poodle Trina suffered lacerations to her digestive track from minute shards of plastic hidden in the chew sticks. Trina healed over time, but it was traumatizing for our daughter - our whole family. We no longer buy ANY pet products made outside the US. When the labels aren't clear we call the company and find out where it is made.
My little Pomeranian, passed away 7 weeks ago and the cause was kidney failure. The vet told me that could be the treats. I miss her a lot, she was 11 years old.
Carolina Martinez
I'm sorry for your loss!
My condolences. I am very sorry to hear your lost. Pets have rights to be safe and healthy.
What kind if treats did you buy ?
So sorry
I'm so sorry that is just so sad
Normally i would call people crazy (that lady who was putting the stickers and notices up) when they do that. But for this?.. im right with her.
We need more people like her, no be scared to speak the TRUTH.
Crazy to try to educate people about deadly products? Huh?
WRONG SHE SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR VANDALISM AND FRAUD SHE CANT GO INTO A STORE AND TAMPER WITH PRODUCTS PUT STICKERS ON THEM ITS NOT HER PROPERTY LOCK HER UP SHE HAS NO PROOF JUST HER STUPIDITY FROM NOT TAKING CARE OF HER DOG NOT PROVIDING APPROPRIATE VET CARE NO ANTIBIOTICS NOTHING
same
Losing a dog is like losing a family member, these companies need to be held accountable, and charged with animal cruelty for the simple fact they know there is an issue and are doing nothing about it.
My 12 yr old Chihuahua died from Fanconi from treats last January. I wrote to the FDA and sent them photos of the treats I had been buying for years. I miss my Boy! SHAME ON THEM FOR NOT PULLING THESE FROM THE STORES!
In 2016 a vet in our community actually went on the front page to warn pet owners about these chicken jerky products. I’m very grateful he did this as it was a treat I had in my cupboard. All stores except one removed the product. That vet saved lot of dogs/cats in my opinion. I thank him for that!!
barb ryll
Wonderful Vet! That has happened in the '90's too!! China, put arsenic in pet food & treats!! & Their restaurants closed, 2 of them in Ohio, bc they had CATS IN THEIR FREEZERS!!!
Stores should HAVE to remove things from their stores if there's a recall!! If not, they should be heavily fined.
a true veterinary HERO!
barb ryll
Wal-Mart still sells those Waggin' Train chicken treats. Please don't buy them, since you want your loved ones to live long, healthy lives!🐶 Watch treats at Marc's too! They sell a lot of treats from China. Read the labels. Good luck.
You can come over anytime anytime before or I would go back home 🏠 and then you will kook
My dog would have been dead if I didn't see this...........
I buy Full Moon jerky . try it..Its safe. ( I'm glad you saw this :), I've seen this before, so sad.
Thank God you saw it!!!
I lost two of my dogs and I searched for the reason and when I comment on the issue to a coworker she inform me about the dog food made in china , I cook for my dogs now ,my heart goes for the people that lost their dogs because I know how terrible and painful it is to loose our pets
I love that bold lady, we need more people like that. Makes me so freaking upset. I’m an animals lover!!
This is so devastating. Dogs are beautiful, loyal, and intelligent. I cannot imagine losing a family member because of something they ate. I feel like we need pet food examined thoroughly
This has been going on forever. READ LABELS PEOPLE!!! COOK PEOPLE FOOD FOR YOUR BABIES!
I absolutely 💯 AGREE!!
People need to start demanding it
Intelligent? Barking all day and night
Our pets deserve the same examination of food from the FDA.....
Julie Sprik Thats not the problem though. The problem is that their aren't laws/rules that regulate the food sold at stores. People see the dog food at stores and assume it's safe. We need regulations to prevent any sort of harmful food/treats from even getting in stores in the first place
They get it. Nestle is producing even baby food
People responsible for this should be brought to justice and serve long jail time!
Never ever trust anything even amazon still was on the market not a good ideas that woman did the right ways to warning others not to buy from amazon or any store just throw those out two police dog is already gone china is horrible selling horrible products and on amazon selling that as well did not watch this and now customers give a five stars 😳😵
We all need to do what this lady is doing, every single one of us who has pets. This is unacceptable.
My neighbor killed her dog by feeding him these exact treats and I almost did the same to mine. Found out about 9 years ago and will never buy from Purina again
Epith D u cant blame ur neighbor for tht
teresa chase no way. she was elderly and had no idea just the same as me. I never told her after I found out either, it would have destroyed her to know she killed her own dog
I bought a Chow Chow at 3 months old, she lived to be 16....I tried feeding her different brands of dog food & all she ate was Purina Puppy Chow....She was whats considered a 'small chow' not weighing over 40 lbs. max. Her Vet said she was the healthiest dog he ever seen. You can't even buy/find it now, I bought a small bag & the kibble didn't even look the same! I have 3 adopted dogs now & all they get is Taste of The Wild or Royal Canin.
Epith D. thats just horrible are you that sure tht the treats killed ypur alls dog? so far im lucky i had been giving phobie some tht chicken gerky n threw away. dang its getting bad when we dont no wat to even get our dogs
We used to use Purina for my cat. He liked it but it was expensive for us. If you want some cat food recommendations I suggest Ally Cat. I know your a dog person but just in case :)
Chicken jerky is so easy to make. Bake chicken breast in oven 400* for 30-40 mins. Shred or slice and put back in oven at 350* until dry, approx 20-30 mins. Keep in refrigerator.
Joann Nance thank you
thanks!! I'm going to try to do that some day
My dog is addicted to this stuff, shes figured out how to blackmail me for it, if she wants some at night shell come and pounce on my chest (shes just a chihuahua so it doesnt hurt or anything) and will sit there and wimper and wont let me go back to sleep until I give her a piece lol. Ive definitely spoiled her rotten and I have a plan to rectify this.
THANK YOU FOR THAT RECIPE.
Thank u I will start making my own
Burying your pet is as devastating as burying your Parents, etc.😞😢
So true
They rely on you for everything and give you their all.
Uhh… no
For 50,000 years we have had this animal as our helper, guard and companion. Let us not forget their love of us.
once again people are screaming "blame China, blame China" NO blame the companies in the USA/Canada that keeps buying these products and selling them in the US/Canada. When a company makes their product they want to use the cheapest materials to reduce cost, so don't blame the people who make it blame the organization that demanded it be made, they should be the one policing their products
exactly!
+fellow111411 honestly, the companies should do research before buying from providers. I admit, after living in China since birth until last year. China is not a amazing place. However, people who put no effort into research is worse.
I think its not just the companies at fault i feel as if the process people make it area also at fault for example, they might save extra time and get it out faster if they skip this step and so on.
nathaniel fernando it is up to the organization to uphold their standards. if I told people I was giving them 100% organic chicken then I should test the products to make sure they are 100% organic chicken before selling it.
Loui chen I have no idea whether the company has done any research regarding the safety of this food or not. But, If I am correct, FDA confirmed the test did not indicate any problem. Somehow, the dogs died after eating this treat. I understand there are some smart guys in China. However, they only care about money.
If pet food is toxic what makes you think human food is not also toxic?? Think about it
I agreed with you.
A lot of the food ingredients shipped in are rancid. Only a small amount gets checked and even smaller amount gets flagged.
@Sue Brown I STOPPED BUYING SANDWICH MEAT B/C SUPPOSEDLY IT IS SPRAYED WITH ?
I SAW THIS ARTICLE ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.
THESE COMPANIES SPRAY EVERYTHING EVEN NUTS.
THE FOOD TASTES GOOD SO MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT EVEN AWARE OF HOW OUR FOOD IS TREATED BEFORE HITTING THE CONSUMER MARKET !!!
BACK TO PET FOOD: REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN CATS & DOGS WERE BEING POISONED BY "GREENIES?"
THE PET FOOD COMPANIES WERE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO SELL THIS PRODUCT FOR MONTHS AFTER THOUSANDS OF PETS WERE SUFFERING AND DYING !!!
WHICH GOVERNMENT BRANCH ALLOWED THIS TO CONTINUE? OBVIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE WERE PAID OFF BIG TIME BY MAJOR FOOD COMPANIES !!!
CRIMINALS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND SENTENCED TO JAIL.
Roland King. with all the crap they put in our food....of course it's toxic. That's why l refuse to buy any processed food. l cook EVERYTHING from scratch.
a guy l know works in the stockyards in Texas. he told me if folks knew what they're feeding the cattle they would never eat meat purchased from a grocery store. he said go organic....grass fed meat without hormones or antibiotics
My beautiful cocker spaniel died from eating Blue Diamond dog food. I still miss her so much!🥲🥲🥲
My amazing dog, in my picture here, died mysteriously just like these dogs. He was the smartest, most amazing dog ever! These murderers should be prosecuted and incarcerated forever!
If only people understood the same thing is happening to humans. Both pets and humans would be saved together.
Unfortunately people just buy the cheapest products and companies source the cheapest product. It is just human nature.
I think our government should at least put warnings on these products. What are they there for if not to warn us about dangerous products. Especially because much of the packaging is designed to mislead and give an untruthful impression of healthy. It's literally killing animals, toxic to pets. Are we seriously going to ignore that and go about business like it's normal?
I care more about people than dogs.
@@gailhitson6722 they knew but they wont tell you. Your government are not your friends...
@@gailhitson6722 in my opinion, there's a special kind of hot hell for people who know about the ramifications of eating these treats but go ahead and sell them anyway just to make a few bucks.
Ive seen walmart put the jerky treats and other treats put on their clearance aisle that had recalls on them. We need the FDA to have stricter guidelines and policies when it comes to pet food /treats from China and other countries .
I have seen the brand at my local stores
Cathy T So why didn't you bring it up to them?????
I get recall emails. If I see anything that has a recall I definitely will bring it up to stores if they have it.
And inspectrs visiting these big box stores! Gee ... that would create more jobs!!!
Cathy T just buy another dog 🐶
@CathyT did you report walmart to a TV local news stationor news paper? You should have made it public.
I feel the pain of these pets owners... Several years ago, my cat got very sick & died over just a few days time. His kidneys failed, & that was it. The worst part is it was over a holiday weekend & our local vet was closed. My Jack hung in there through the weekend, but died at 1am on the day I was to bring him to the vet. I laid on the floor with Jack for the entire weekend, trying to get him to drink water & pedialyte- hoping to keep him hydrated, to no avail. It turns out that the budget cat food a friend gave me after her cat ran away was the culprit. It was made in China. Never again. I'm religious about reading the packaging so our new kitty doesn't get sick & suffer so needlessly. Some of these companies need to be put out of business. Shame on them...putting dollars before the health of the animals!!
@ Darlene Hovard: So sorry!💜⚘
Thank you for producing this video. I’m sure you have saved dogs’ lives by doing so.
Like other people, when I saw that bag of Waggin Train chicken fillets on the shelf in the store I just had to buy it. The chicken looked so healthy and it was chicken breasts, so I knew it had to be healthy for my dog.
My dog loved them. I even cut them up and used them when I was training him.
I started hearing rumblings about the fillets. No problem. I would just get the ones that were not made in China.
I kept hearing the rumblings. I finally decided to make my own fillets. I bought some chicken breasts, thinly sliced them, sprinkled them with seasoned salt, and popped them in the oven on a low temp for a few hours. My dog loved them. And I would make a bunch of fillets, pop most of them in the freezer so I would have them on hand.
I and my dog, were the lucky ones. I would have been devastated if he had died from the ingredients in the store bought fillets.
And like others I have always had a good feeling about companies like Nestle. I don’t know how people who work for these companies who make inferior and potentially hazardous products for animals live with themselves. Thank you too, to the lady who placed the stickers on the bags. Now that is someone who truly loves animals.
Salt is not good for dogs or cats.
Great idea! I do a lot of cooking for my cats with FIV and kidney disease. I do have to hold the salt, for him. My cat with kidney problems got them from Hartz flea spot. They have not changed the product!
My deepest condolences to everyone whose dogs passed away as a result of the toxic treats.
Why not make homemade treats,I would do that instead buying or giving them dangerous treats.
Yes.
Yep.
Yes.
Your totally right
I agree
Report from 2015. Who else sees this 2020? 😌
I'm a new subscriber so I'm watching your presentations retrospectively. What an eye opener. I feel so much better educated. I feel 100% better equipped and it's all thanks to your in-depth investigative reporting and research. I cannot thank you enough. Blessings from Scotland.
Try this..
1. Carrots
2. Chicken
3 . apple's (seedless & sliced)
4. watermelon (seedless)
5, eggs
There's so many approved veggies/fruits and people choose store bought dog treats? Carrots is like llterally the most affordable.
jerry juarez my dogs also love peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower, cheerios, and peas.
jerry juarez all good but for my dog eggs Make her fart lol also sweet potatoes!
I make homemade peanut butter pumpkin/squash dog biscuit and it's very easy to find the recipe on google, but i do recommend looking at the ingredient on the peanut butter you use for something called "Xylitol". A lot of companies have started adding this sugar substitute to their peanut butter about 2 years ago and it's deadly to dogs.
useful
my dog loved all of those. but he cant have chicken. it makes him really sick
Here's what my advice. Do not buy anything that edibles made in china.
And not inedible items either! Kids toys, baby bottles, make up etc had lead and other poisons!
@@lenitaa7938 China isn't forcing your countries to do business with them.
Avoid Any thing From China!!! Any Food Merchandise Nothing Peroid!!!
Thank you to the special lady!
Companies need to be prosecuted and banned from putting harmful ingredients into treats Higher standard required for dog treats 😡
Just threw away two packs of jerky. thought it was healthy....obviously after seeing this a risk I am not willing to take.
also my jerky was duck and fda indicated this has also been suspected of making dogs sick
Vi S
I see ur comment is 2 years old. I was going to suggest you return the treats & get your money back.
this has been going on for 4 years and I tell the store management everytime I go there and they don't care !!!
That's is awful!! Just goes to show the managers don't give a flip either!
If you leave it after complaining to management and don't breathe fire down on them from every avenue available, until it changes, nothing will change. They expect you to drop it and that's why it continues. Be the velvet hammer and make them rue the day.
Boycott the store, Robert.
Make some stickers
People demonstrating in from of their store is sure to get their attention! 💪
I lost two of my poms from these years ago. It is an awful shame on every store that sells this still.
Thank you for this, I’ve bought jerky treats in the past, and had no idea they could hurt my babies.
This lady is a hero. Bless her heart!
This is absolutely disgusting! I used to feed my dog these treats a long time ago. I remember someone telling me that these were toxic and from China and then I stopped feeding them to my dog. Luckily, my dog is alive and healthy today.
Just don’t buy chicken treats, Chicken Jerky stay away from 🐓
Insurance s main selling point is reliability not saving s.
Thank you for putting this information out there..So Grateful...Also So very Grateful to the woman putting the stickers on the products and all the leg work she's done..Thank You and God Bless
I just took my dog to the vet with the exact same symptoms. I bought my treats from Trader Joe’s. Now I gotta go check where they came from because they finished the package
They don't care about humans. What makes you think they care about dogs.
+RocketMan153251 yeah, at the end you would think that is the right thing to do.
+Qiuyuan Chen In the eyes of most of the Chinese (in China), only money has value. Life doesn't.
+fellow111411 In the eyes of most Chinese, the dog is the meal.
The Green Cesspool I disagree, I am one of them but I am not consider it is a meal. Two part of China does eat dog as a tradition. It sounds strange as it can be a tradition, but if dogs are the only available meet around them what else they are going to eat anyway. I was quite surprised when I saw Australian sell kangaroo meat about two years ago, because that little cute thing should be well protected and not for any type of killing other than predator and prey relationship. That is when i changed my mind from blaming an entire race to think based on each case's own situation. I felt happy about that changes I done.
***** Really, well. I certainly can't change what you think, but if you actually been living there locally for a while with only the locals. Soon some of your ideas would needs to change too.
Nestle, those wonderful people who bring you chocolate produced by child slave labor. Because it's cheaper for them.
Do you really think they care about pets? They care about profits, not pets, and not people.
Lukiel666 ..I BOYCOTTED Purina & NESTLE A LONG TIME AGO!!!
A lot of companies do that
Are you kidding? Nestle is pure evil. They do much more than that, including buying water and overpricing it, selling it to the poor. They also get poor mothers to use their baby formulas and become dependent on it.
This is why we make poor people!
boycott all things nestle! he believes water is not a human right.
I lost my 6 year old German Shepard, Pascal to heart failure. Caused most likely by grain free dog food. I miss him so much and he should still be here.
God bless you for giving your pup a loving life while you had him.
I just now learned I could possibly be feeding my dog harmful even deadly treats. After learning about this I looked at the package and it says Mexico on it. Well I tell u this no more chicken jerky for her. I feed my dog veggies with her dog food on top. She loves the vegetables and what harm could be in that? I buy the Nescafe coffee but no more I will become a tea drinker from now on. I must commend this show. It brings you true facts and the journalist is respectful and knowledgeable. I lost my beloved dog some 4 yrs ago and unbelievable you feel like your dog is your child and it is in a way. Now I have this other dog, which I adore. A dog just lives to love you. Thank you Marketplace.
Oh geezus it's 2019 & I've been feeding my dogs these chicken treats.I'm feeling sick right now! Those poor dogs and owners. 😢😢😢
So Done I stopped when Blubella got diahorea but she loved these disgusting treats.
Lucky we found out they didn’t agree with her before she became really ill.
You can make and freeze/dry your own treats for cheaper! 😊
@@WhiteWolfos How?
My family doesn't buy treats for my dog. We just give him apple slices, watermelon, banana and Cheerios. My dog loves those for treats.
Alex Yoo good idea
Alex, Just Alex same
exactly! I dont understand why some of us spend money on packet dog treats. how can processed food be good for us OR our dogs?
Alex, Just Alex
That’s nice, but dont overdose it. Human food, even apples and cereal, can harm a dog it he or she is given too much.
Alex, Just Alex
Also try baby carrots!
Lost a dog to this EXACT same product!!The chicken jerky swelled up and ruptured the intestines causing her to go into septic shock.She was a beautiful small American Eskimo that was an very healthy 12.
Sue them!!!
@ Go...😪
Bought a dehydrator, make my own now
Best to buy a dehydrater,and making your own chicken treats,you can not trust the FDA !!!
The FDA reported them as unsafe 5 times due to the amount of incidents. They can't PROVE it, because it only happens to SOME dogs, but they had the information out. Until they can conclusively prove EXACTLY why some dogs are dying, they can't ban the treats based on their gut instincts. Especially if it turns out that all the dogs came into contact with something else, OR the treats were all processed in one place, where treats processed in another place are fine. Until then, just avoid anything made in china. They really don't care about what they export.
@@8BitGamer4life It'd be great if all the stores banded together and chose not to sell such dangerous treats at all and only sold the ones that had no reported issues, but alas I suspect that they just don't care enough.
I can't believe this! I just came across this, my dog was beginning to have these symptoms and what do you know, I was giving these to my dog. I feel like Yah put this in front of me. Praise Yah! I'm so sorry for those who have lost their dogs, my heart goes out to you. I hope my Ricky can recover.
Condolences to these families, so sad. Knowledge is power, thank you.
I used to tell my mom about the cat treats that she was feeding her cats that specifically one of the cats threw up almost every single time and the other cats threw up a percentage of the time overall when they would have cat treats and I just have known this for years and I'm so glad that finally it's starting to be exposed
my dog, died from a. toxic Walmart bone when I was 7. BEWARE SO You DONT HAVE TO GO Through The SAME PAIN!!!😭😭😭😭
Crazy Taco well what was the brand name. if u want to warn ppl
teresa chase I was 7 why would I know the brand but I will ask.😂
Crazy Taco. well lol so u can find out brand name to tell us so we dont make same. mistake. r u sure it was bone treat than at 7?
Ashbury yah my new dog is picky si we just feed him what he likes... hot dogs.. they are barely food anyway!!😂(not get triggered)
*Don't
How could someone make poison dog treats?! HOW CAN THEY NOT CARE ABOUT THOSE POOR LITTLE CREATURES!?!??!?!
Marat Tolgambayev They eat dogs in China so no they dont

Adam Smith Not all people eat dogs in China. So please don't use the word 'they' .
It`s now 2022 and I want to know if we have had a follow-up on the quality of these pet foods.
I'm sending this to my daughter so she knows and she will tell her friends . Thank you
Boycott PURINA & NESTLE !!!!!
Cheryl Lewis Very informative and useful advice concerning pets nutritional needs. Thanks for sharing. We, as a whole, need to be more cautious with such things and pay closer attention to this sort of thing when we shop. Better yet, why not make our own? Many times, my dog eats what I eat. As long as it is not something toxic, she eats it. China and other countries in the Orient simply can not be trusted. A lot of those countries eat dogs over there and cats too.
I agree totally - i equate Nestle to chocolate ... not dog treats and Purina to melamine - they F>>>k’d when they decided to give China cart blanche on their name/food - they have lost my trust ... not that they ever had it
Hartz also.

I've heard Hartz was bad, many years ago. I can't remember exactly the reason, but it was bad. Like their shsmpoos, toys, everything Hartz.
Yeah thats the answer, huh SNOWFLAKE? You liberals want to boycott EVERYTHING you dont agree with. Pfft!
we had a two year old dog die from eating chicken jerky made with chicken breasts from China. we spent $2000 at the Colorado State University veterinary school trying to save her, but her kidneys shut down. We had bought large bags of what we thought was pure meat from Costco, and later returned them and told them what happened. they pulled the chicken jerky off their shelves. we tell every pet owner and store operator what happened, wherever we travel. the Chinese don't like white meat, so they sell it to North America, but with no controls. jerky can be made here, but with using the Chinese chickens. the labels don't tell you that. we stick with Milkbone treats, because every' meat' treat from the pet stores cannot be trust. we use Taste of the Wild for daily food.
+Tele Rover You could hunt your own meat. Also i think homemade meat tastes better
+Tele Rover Milkbone FTW!
Sorry to hear about your poor pup. I couldn't even imagine
The only safe food for your pet is the one you prepare yourself(must be suitable for the species). Milk bones btw contain calcium carbonate. That will cause calcium oxalate stones and require surgical procedure to remove them. Pets fed correctly don't crave or need any treats.
The test of a true human being: the capacity to show empathy for the suffering of another species.
The test of a true human demon: the capacity to show ambivalence for the suffering of another species.
How absolutely heartbreaking, my heart goes out to all effected by this.😢
I see MADE IN CHINA. I avoid it.. I've heard of this before, few years ago.. We threw out one bag we had. I was angry. You go to give your pup something out of love and they get sick . Its just horrible, ..... I am so sorry to all the people who lost their dogs. My heart goes out to you.
If the company order ingredients from China(they all do)then the product will be labeled as made in Canada so there is no safe way to know!
Jeana C that makes me sad 😔😭
My friend said he bought these treats for his dog, watched a video or two and was going to feed his dog one of these treats until he saw this in his recommended and claimed it saved his doggo
These makers need to be held accountable !!
That's so terrible. Being six years old, hopefully its been stopped completely.
FDA not doing their job,disgraceful!!!!
I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FOR MY PETS FROM CHINA! EVER
Wendy and David
For years dogs & cats were dying from eating food & treats from China! It turned out, they were putting Arsenic in it! Oh yeah, the big names were just as bad as the cheap ones! If it's from China, leave it! Boycott their poison!!!
don't give rawhide either. Glue, formaldehyde ect
Wendy and David That is very smart everybody need to take he did that
dont they eat dogs in china?
Good choice, but beware that tainted dogfood & catfood are RAMPANT problems in American brands as well. Many contain pentobarbital, a powerful barbiturate that's used to euthanize animals. Those animals end up in dog food & viola! Your dog is eating barbiturates every day. The FDA has done nothing about this issue & would rather waste their time & our taxpayer money protecting Big Pharma & other corporate entities. Gravy Train was one of the worst offenders but no brand is truly safe IMO.
This woman is brave and I love her for what you are doing. I will tell all I know.
Im sorry for your loss Gerri
I THINK THE SPCA SHOULD ADVERTISE THIS PROBLUM
Thanks for this, I have a dog named Noah and he's a terrier puppy. I love him so much, and I have depression so if I lose him I'll lose me. You saved my life and my own puppers.
My Rottie Greta was diagnosed with Kidney disease and she went down so fast and the vet thought maybe she was born with it but she was checked by a vet when I first got her and she was fine....now I know what happened ....I gave her her favorite treat Waggin Train & Milo's Chicken Jerky ....she passed at 3 yrs. old That was in 2015....I've never gotten over it....and seeing this only makes it worse. RIP sweetheart
A lot of human foods bought in stores are not good for us and they know it! Now we have to worry about our furry kids getting toxic foods! We should all start our own gardens and help one another. We should make our own pet foods, and stop trusting complete strangers we don't know for our foods! God help us all!!
I've had to put down 3 dogs in one month due to tumors.
Growing up, my parents fed our dogs human food along with dog food and our dogs lived to about 20 years old and died healthy of old age. They never bought dog treats, only bones from the butcher.
Our Golden Retriever lived on people food and canned dog food for 18 long years. Just like your dogs growing up, only gave her soup bones for a treat. Fortunes are being made selling “natural” dog food with people food added.
Purina/Nestle did something like this 11 years ago, where they changed the formula of many of their "zoo" brands (eg. Mazuri) where they stopped adding vitamin D to the formula. They never thought of the animals that were indoor only animals and many died, including race horses, exotic pets, prized waterfowl including my goose. I have boycotted the company since and have made my friends and family aware that they only care about their wallets and not us!
One time my dad got my dog Purina as a puppy and OMG he got super ill so we threw the rest away and NEVER bought from the brand again.
Thanks so much for the heads up!!
A lot of pets are fed exclusively dog food - which is a highly processed form of food (heated to incredibly high temperatures that destroy all its nutritional properties and then poured into cans or made into kibble). I think this is also an issue as it renders them a lot more vulnerable overall, more prone to reacting to toxins in various treats etc (which are clearly there...). I buy chicken and lightly cook it for my dog, as well as other types of meat. Takes me 5 minutes more than if I opened a can or a bag of dry food, but everyone marvels at how shiny his coat is and how much energy he has for a 10 year old. Historically dogs have eaten food freshly cooked by humans (leftovers). Now they eat crap basically.
When your dog dies, it feels like one of your children have passed away.
My dog too, about a year ago. It broke my heart. I thought I was being good to her.
I'm glad that lady and other real people are doing something about this serious problem.
Thank you for doing this to warn other dog owners! Will share this with my friends who have dogs!
My dog passed away last year and I was and still am blaming myself , because I used to buy him treats from Walmart , I.e. Beggin strips, old roy treats, and yes even that jerky that the gentleman described as looking healthy for your dog? My little boy died of Pancreatitis and organ failure. He started having accidents and vomiting ,drinking water a lot and I took him to the Vet everything was fine except his insulin level and they kept him three days and would stay with him after work and call about him . He did well then got sick again and passed. I cried every day and still do? The blame and guilt It's crushing me.. Please , Please , Please be aware what your feeding your pets, because these big companies don't care about your pets either it's all about the Bucks $$$ And China don't even care about Human life? Do you think their going to care about some dog overseas! All these big companies get their food over in China so screw Purina and them all! It's the same food just packaged with their label on it! They don't care! And Bravo to that lady placing warning stickers on those bags!
Ol Roy treats got my 3 sick and my best dog ever died .
shout out to that lady Robin for taking direct action.
Just seeing this ! Omg... so thankful I didn't buy these treats for my dogs. I just saw them on shelves a few days ago ! Thank you for speaking up and digging into what's in these treats ! I'm so sorry for those that have lost their beloved furbabies!!!
I feel compelled to add another warning here. My 16 y/o dachshund was suffering from anxiety and could not climb the steps to the couch. I called our vet and asked if he could give us something for him to calm him while we were away at Easter dinner. He called in to our pharmacy gabapentin solution. Only after his continued failing health - diarrhea, throwing up bile, refusal to eat, and eventually panting and dying in my husband's arms did we find out why. As we were seeking answers and searching the net, we found one other incident and the reason was the ingredient XYLITOL which is toxic to dogs. We unknowingly poisoned our dog. Took 3 weeks total. Apparently human pharmacists are unaware of this and even some vets as it is a recently added ingredient. I hope I have helped someone avoid this.
Awful.
Thank you for sharing.😢
As owner of a training center in North Carolina, we've stopped using & promoting Purina dog products due to the use of glycerin as a preservative.
yes it appears as though they sometimes used industrial grade glycerin ( jatropha poison)
Braeburn Hilliard, what do you feed your dogs and what treats ? I would like to know for my puppy, who is the world to me. Thank you
Stay far far away from Purina products!!!!!!!!!
Its 2019 now and I wonder how many dogs have died since. I live in Australia, our brand is different, still from China but I will stop feeding this to my dog.
This video is 7 years old. Have they fixed the problem or is it the same? I still see these treats in my local supermarket 👀👀👀😳😳. I will NOT ever give this to my dog.
I'm always better safe than sorry and stay away from jerky treats in general. I've come to the point where I'm standing in front of the shelf and research treats on my phone before buying them. It shouldn't be this complicated to find a safe treat for my dogs.
We bought those Bacon treats for our small Bishon Frize for a Christmas treat. She got very sick. Took to vet in middle of night. She did live.
