CHINA's CHICKEN STRIPS are KILLING Our DOGS!

ARE DEHYDRATED CHICKEN JERKY STRIPS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS DOG TREATS?  Read on...

There have been warnings on the news, in newspapers along with the internet about the dangers of dehydrated chicken jerky, strips, chews, tenders and how they're associated with the demise of many animals. 

It has been reported that over (300) dogs and (1) cat have died, due to contaminates in these Jerky Treats from China.  An additional 2200+ animals have gotten sick.  

 How many more dogs have died and/or gotten sick and no one knew why or didn't connect the problem with treats?  How many did not get reported? 

Of course, dog owners would want to give these 'all natural' products to their pets.  Unknowing dog owners are buying these products everyday. thinking that they've made a 'healthy choice' for their pet?

          I WAS ONE OF THESE PET OWNERS!  

WHY ARE THESE PRODUCTS STILL ALLOWED ON STORE SHELVES?

These treats are being manufactured in China, but why haven't all of the chicken products from China, been reported?  All of the dehydrated chicken products, that are in your neighborhood pet stores, are from China.


                THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON, SINCE 2008!

WHY HASN'T THE FDA BEEN ABLE TO FIND A DEFINITIVE CAUSE, IN OVER 4 YEARS?

According to the FDA, you should keep a close eye on your dog, if you give them these treats.  Also that,  “Blood tests may indicate kidney failure (increased urea nitrogen and creatinine). Urine tests may indicate Fanconi syndrome (increased glucose). Although most dogs appear to recover, some reports to the FDA have involved dogs that have died."

In other words, if  you feed these products to your dogs they may die!
THAT'S ALL?!
 The FDA states that they cannot pull any of these products because they don't have  a definite answer as to what is causing the deaths and illnesses.

As a side note, humans are also getting sick!  There is no warning that we need to carefully wash our hands, after handling these "all natural" products.  The contaminants are able to enter our systems, as well!

The following products have been reported having potential deadly consequences.  Waggin Train, Milo's Kitchen, Canyon Creek, Kingdom Pets, Diamond Pet Foods.  The list is growing, so why don't we pull all of the chicken products, from China, until the FDA can determine the problems.

 Are United States distributors hoping that no one will notice who the manufacturer is?

It has further been reported that the FDA went to China and was not allowed into several of the facilties that manufacture these products.  Why does the FDA allow these products into the US?

 WHO CAN PROTECT OUR PETS?

Who can pull these items off the shelves, if the FDA can't? 

There have been, at least, 3 petitions that have included 30,000 signatures from people in the US and around the world.  (See petitionsite.com) There is a flyer, available online, that you can hand out to people, but the stores aren't paying attention.

It has also been suggested to put some sort of warning label on the actual product, of the potential dangers.

Who can make this happen?

Dehydrated duck strips are also manufactured in China.  Are they safe?  How can one be sure?  They're made by the same manufacturers and distributed by the same companies.

OUR DOGS COUNT ON US TO PROTECT THEM BUT WE CANNOT DO THAT WHEN DEADLY PRODUCTS ARE ALLOWED TO BE SOLD.
