Tainted Dog Treats

There are a few stories making the rounds about two Chinese brands of dog treats being sold at Wal-Mart that have allegedly led to some severe problems for dogs eating them.

Wal-Mart quietly stopped selling Chicken Jerky Strips from Import-Pingyang Pet Product Co. and Chicken Jerky from Shanghai Bestro Trading in July, after customers said the products sickened their pets. But as of now, there has been no official recall. If you happen to have either of these products at home, you can return them to Wal-Mart for a refund.

Just wanted to give everyone a quick heads up, and remind you that all of our pet food info is here.

Oh please, you can't possibly be that fucking stupid (no offense). When ever possible, I won't buy ANYTHING made in China. As has been demonstrated with numerous recalls, China has an abysmal record importing products that are safe (and even worse with companion animals). Poisonous food, ethylene glycol tainted tooth paste, clothes with up to 900 times over the safe level of formaldehyde, children's products with LEAD paint. How many more recalls is it going to take till manufactures decide to pull the plug and find somewhere else to manufacture products.

Please, everyone, DON'T BUY PET FOOD from supermarkets or discount stores.

It is cheap, worthless junk that breaks down pets' systems.

(no matter what all that advertising says!)

Do a little research and buy quality, preferably organic foods. There are places online you can buy the good brands at a discount

Here are brands that are quality and DO NOT test on animals http://www.iamscruelty.com/notTested.asp

I heard about a re-call a few days ago on the news... I buy nutri-pet - organic stuff so I didn't have to worry about going back. I hope everyone else is okay...

wake up!!!! believe it!!!! take off your rose tinted glasses, get out of your bubble and become mature. people are this cruel and much much much much much more.
haven't your heard about the thousands of american pets that died 'cuz the chinese manufacturers intentionally put poisons in pet foods that were exported to the U.S.??? the same putting poisons in people foods, toothpaste, so on, and making unsafe toys for kids????
highly impossible??? watch one half hour of the national and worldwide news and you'll see how cruel people are!!!! it will blow your mind!!!! murders, bombings, terrorist doing beheadings, child abductions and molestations, females cutting out and some trying to cut out unborn babies from their mothers wombs, school shootings, a male chopping off his wifes arms with a machete, hate filled gangs doing execution style murders for fun, so on, so on, so on. a lot of people are backstabbers, liars, cheats, bigots, so on, so on, so on.
so now the peta haters will come on with their usual brainless rants asking why peta isn't doing anything about all of that???
well peta haters, if you have the magic answer that will prevent or stop any of that, speak up now or forever keep your stupidity to yourselves!!!! and keep in mind that petas only efforts can only include animal issues!!!!
so go to another website and vent yourselves to people who are legally capable. start with a government website!!!! better yet, get involve in civic affairs like a lot of peta activists do!!!!!

First we get bad pet food from china and pets die. Then you have to watch what kind of toothpast you buy. Now millions of children are in danger because they are sending toys with led paint. Why aren't we hearing anything from Washington?

I buy natural treats for my dog and my dog food from the vet. Science diet.

We need to send a message to Washington, first you give our jobs away; for cheap labor. But when they harm our pets and children, you are silent. Write your senetors and congress and tell them this must stop.

the sens and reps couldn't give two shits about what we write to them. they're not going to stop trade with china 'cuz america is in debt to china. most of our companies are rooted in china. the american government is supports chinese imports 'cuz of the no tariff.
boycott chinese products!!!!!

what are the dog treats made from? I thought PETA was against animal products, and your precious puppies and kittens are naturally inclined to eat meat, you don't want to go against nature, do you? Is it ok to kill one animal so that your pet corgi (great dogs by the way) can live?
