Waggin Train Treats Reviews

9/13/2025 one single Waggin Train treat gave our puppy severe diarrhea from 1pm-6am the next morning. Would not recommend this product to anyone, especially people with sensitive or elderly dogs. These treats should be taken off the shelves and buried in a pit.

I received a bag of Waggin Train chicken jerky treats, opened the bag and they smell like formaldehyde!! I work in a lab and know the smell. Bought through Chewy, not blaming them but will not purchase any more. I have had 2 dogs pass this past year with cancer, caused by these? I do not know. 😕

My Dog has gotten sick a couple times eating these treats (especially the one specifically labeled for sensitive stomachs). I don't know if there's a correlation, but I thought these were made in the USA. They're not. They're made in China now. So...I'll be changing who I buy them from. "Sourced in the US, made in China." How much money are they really saving? You ship the chicken over (how long and how is it shipped...it's just jerky with very few ingredients) and then make it in China? That makes me skeptical given China's history for poisoning Dog food (not intentionally...I don't think, but I'll stay with USA-made).

Just had a horrible experience with this product. My 8-year-old Pomeranian, Luna, almost died when a piece of chicken jerky became lodged in her esophagus. Thankfully, a team at a veterinary specialty center were able to remove the jerky but Luna suffered for 2 weeks due to inflammation of her esophagus. She had choking spells, decreased appetite and severe pain. I had used this product for many years as my dogs love them and I thought it was a healthy choice. I noticed the product changed a couple of years ago, looked dried out and crumbled into sharp pieces, causing one of my other dogs to choke.

I gave these treats to my dog. Next day diarrhea. Have always bought Golden Rewards. Thought I'd try Waggin Train. They were on sale. Big mistake. Made in China. I would not have bought the. Did not notice that till now.

I can’t believe these treats are still on the market! My husband picked them up because they only had two ingredients, missing the part where they were made in China. We gave our two pups small pieces on Monday and Tuesday and they became violently ill, vomiting and diarrhea. $1000 in vet bills later and they are finally on the mend. Recalls, class action suits…. This product has a long history of making dogs ill and killing them. I’m infuriated and confused as to how they can still be on shelves.

After giving Waggin Train chicken jerky to my dog over 3 days he developed liquid mucus blob filled diarrhea for 6 days!! The pieces were large. The ingredients were only 2. I now with regret read previous bad problems and recalls of this product. It says made in Thailand. :(

Within 12 hours of giving our dog a chicken jerky treat he was severely ill. Diarrhea, vomiting and dehydrated. Went to it emergency vet after 4 days of non stop diarrhea. He was given an anti-nauseous shot, fluids and antibiotics. He is currently on day one of medication and is showing signs of moderate improvement. Please stay away from this product. After reading all these reviews after the fact I am just beside myself. I wish I would’ve read the reviews prior. The packaging is deceiving stating there’s only two ingredients all natural!

We bought this product at Sam’s and began giving it as a treat to our 5 month old Golden Retriever. On the first day she loved them and had three of them since they were fairly small pieces. That evening she woke up with diarrhea which went on all evening, every 2 hours and continued on throughout the next day. She became very ill for a few days. We weren’t sure what caused it and watched her carefully, taking away all treats and per normal vet instructions, only gave her a bland diet for the next two days until she fully recovered.

ATTENTION: Purina Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky Tenders Adult Dog Treats - MADE IN CHINA.. ALMOST KILLED MY DOG... I HAVE VETERINARIAN PROOF. :( PROOF: My Dogs a 6 yr old Yorkie's liver count was 581. Way HIGH. :( The vet run all kinds of tests -Blood count...High. Then he had ultrasound that showed his enlarged liver. Luckily no Tumor (which is what they thought they may find). Vet was puzzled and could not understand why? I even had to measure his water intake for a week - We decided to look into what we were giving him as treats - WAGGIN TRAIN - Made in CHINA. After taking the Waggin Train treats away 2 weeks later we had his blood count done again it had gone down to a Healthy 168. We were SLOWLY KILLING our furry friend without knowing it. :( So SAD!!!
