Waggin Train Treats

Timothy of Glenhaven, CA September 8, 2009

In February of 2009 our dog Jakey had been eating Waggin Train chicken jerky treats. No need to worry the package says 97% fat free, no preservatives and all natural. He began to vomit blood and his bowels were also bloody. I rushed him to the vets at 2:00 A.M. and they immediately put him on IV and antibiotics. He pulledd through after 3 days there. In March he started to have stomach problems, and the vets contributed it to colotis. Which I thought was kind of a far fetched idea. He never had stomach problems before eating these treats. April same thing again, stomach problems, but this time he was having trouble walking up the steps, would not eat food and drank alot of water. Still I continued to give him pepcid for his stomach as directed by the vet.

May same problem (stomach) and they May 29 the unbearable happened. We rushed him to the vets and he had a temp of 103. Was very listless, and not responding. He later that evening had seizures became unconcious and never woke up. I can now say that I am 99% sure that these chicken jerky treats were the cause of his death. Why isn't someone doing something about this problem. He is not the only one that has died. And will not be the last unless something is done to stop China from processing these treats with arsenic. If this was humans that were dying these items would be pulled off of the shelves immediately. Please make people aware of the potential hazards of these treats. They are not safe. There is a website called laciessite.org that will further explain what I am talking about. By the way our dog was 5 years old.
