Nearly 600 pets have died and more than 3,600 have been sickened in an ongoing, mysterious outbreak of illnesses tied to jerky treats made in China, federal animal health officials said Tuesday.

Do not buy any of Jerky Treats which made in China. Return them or trash them away
 
We are pretty sure that is why our poodle died about 3 years ago, and we haven't bought any since.
 
I will not anything made in China for my dogs so I have not brought Marty and new dog toys. Some pets food companies are buying their ingredients from China , I heard Nuto was going this now and the Co op I buy Marty's food stopped carrying all of Nurto pet foods.
 
You watch out rear of Jerky Treat bags label "Made in China"

:ty: Chevy and everyone for putting this out...this has been going on for a while and we un-expectedly actually had a news crew come in to the store where I work <holistic/"natural" pet supply shop> last night and film a story to air on tv, about this issue. The place where I work part-time has tons of U.S. only treats.

Beware....sometimes the food or treat says "made for" or "distributed by/for" and that's also a red flag sometimes. Sometimes also the treat might be made or from one place and actually packaged for sale, in another place, so watch for that too.

Most of the synthetic vitamins and minerals in pet foods are also from China. This is not required to be disclosed because the vitamin and mineral products are a pre-made item that comes to the dog food manufacturing plant, and then the plant adds in the pre-made vitamin/mineral pack, to their batches of foods. So because the plant did not actually -make- the vitamin-mineral pack, they do not have to say anything about it.


The "Dog Aware" site Chevy mentioned is a good one - also this one: Two Pet Related Lawsuits
 
People should also not buy things that made in China for their kids or babies. We have a few members that have babies , and if they're thinking of buying teething rings they should buy some made in USA if you can find any. I would not buy any toys or jewelry, dishes for kids made in China.
 
Keep posting with updated news. sometimes i am not sure what to feed my cats that i dont want them to get sick. :(

People shouldn't be buying anything from China when it comes to food. Given their poor track record with contaminated baby formula, I think that alone speaks volumes. I sure wouldn't feed my animals anything from that country.

Do you remember the glasses the had to be recalled , I think McDonald was giving them away with meals of kids. The glasses has something toxic metal that was making kids sick. The glasses came from China. I would never buy any dishes for kids that had some fairy princess or any cartoon characters on them , the design could be toxic.

Our vet says no jerky treats. None. Not from any country. He said unless you make it, and then only in very small amounts.

He said that there are close to 600 pet deaths (dog and cat) due to this last contamination.

They have not been able to pinpoint exactly what chemical or ingredient may make a pet ill. All meats and even the sweet potato treats are not to be given to your pets.
