Waggin Train Treats Reviews

I have been feeding my 17 pounder dog this treat for 4 years now and I could not be more satisfied with this product. The rumors of China made product of unsubstantiated illnesses among dogs with no evidence, caused this product to be pulled off the shelves at the big chain stores selling pet products. I tried every USA made chicken tenders sold ever since and my dog hates them plus they cost way more. I'm glad I found one place that still carries this product and I end up buying in bulks-- scared that I won't be able to find them again. My dog loves this product and I can't seem to be able to replace it with any other chicken jerky.

After a long day at the vet and a very large bill I realized it wasn't the boiled chicken. It was the treats that I thought were safe! My dog only eats boiled chicken so I assumed the dehydrated treats were the next best thing. She has had a bloody stool for a while but as a dog owner that doesn't go to the vet every 3 seconds I was making up a million other excuses. Hindsight the treats damn near killed her. After meds and IVs she looks better in one day than she has in 6 months. Feeling like a horrible mother and will try to protest these treats outside of Sams. If you have any more questions email me. This is real!

Recognized this BAD Purina product is a product of CHINA, known to be a source of lethal results! Yet, WALMART continues to sell!!! Purchased this item before realizing it is STILL a product of China. I will be returning to Walmart tomorrow for a refund! Buyers beware of Waggin Train and ANY products of China!!! Walmart, shame, shame, shame on you! WALMART has several lawsuits against it already because of the terrible experiences of so many consumers, over the last 5 years, so why continue to sell these dangerous "treats" at such a risk? WHY?

I gave out pieces of the Waggin Train jerky treats to several little dogs. At 3 AM I found some bloody stool. I found my tiny female Yorkshire Terrier "down" with seizure like activity and severe acute bloody diarrhea. Despite meds for vomiting, oral support and immediate SQ fluids, she died within less than an hour of when I found her... She seemed OK though perhaps a bit listless at bedtime. The jerky treat was the only thing she had out of the normal routine. You decide. I blame myself for giving them to her, I blame Purina for selling them when they know how many problems they have had. My little yorkie is dead and there is no fixing that.

After getting these for a donation I fed them to my pug, left for the day and came home to puke all over my house. Thanks for that sample, I will never be using this brand again. And I use Purina all the time but this made in China is all bad. Don't buy these, if you have live for your furbabies don't put them they the pain that those jerky treats are causing.

Fed that treat for years from walmart. Both dogs about 9 years died close to each other. Conyers animal medical clinic vet for 18 years. Put both dogs down. Lethargy, enlarged organs...

We had a Boston Terrier. "Oreo" was 3 1/2 yrs old, chicken jerky was the only treats he would eat. He started drinking a lot, not eating & uncontrollable seizures every 20 mins. He died shortly after that. We miss him everyday even after 1 1/2 yrs. Don't allow this product to be sold to our pets, it is killing them. These treats need to be removed from store shelves forever. Any food product made in China should not be sold in the USA.

Dog began vomiting and had diarrhea after eating chicken treats.

My dog - a little maltipoo - loved those treats and I gave it to her until someone at work said they make dogs sick. He said to read on it and so I Googled it and found that animals have died because of that. Anyway, I stopped giving it to her but did notice the coughing prior to stopping the treats. I decided to take her to the vet, they said a lot of respiratory problems, enlarged liver, and she would have to take meds for the rest of her life. Well that was 2 years ago, she succumbed to her illness on Christmas day 2014. WE HAVE A VIDEO OF HER EATING THOSE STUPID SNACKS. We miss her everyday but know she is no longer suffering and no longer have to have her meds shoved down her throat 3x a day. We miss you our Hapa. Please be careful on what you give your pets. If it's from China, don't give it. I heard they keep the snacks in their warehouses until needed, so until then, any natural borne elements can contaminate it. If you love your pets, find a safe snack for them.

Does this included waggin’ train can dog food? Because that's what I'm been feeding my dogs as well as the dry, and my dogs have been acting like they just don't feel good. Two of them got real sick and almost died, and my little Chihuahua sometimes throws up after eating. One thing is for sure: we're changing dog food.

One of my rescue dogs went to the emergency room last week after bleeding from the rectum (lethargic, vomiting, diarrhea, not eating). He was diagnosed with Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. After spending 4 nights with IV's, antibiotics, etc he is now making improvements. Tonight, another one of my rescues has the same symptoms. We run a non-profit animal rescue kennel. There is a rescue dog food bank where we get donated food and treats. Recently, a truck load of Waggin Train Treats came in. At first I was apprehensive of giving these to my dogs as I heard bad things about China made treats. I called Purina to be told that this product was never re-called and that there were isolated cases of deaths in dogs. WHY IS THIS PRODUCT STILL ON THE MARKET???

Same thing happened with our shih-tzu four years ago. She almost died. Became lethargic, vomiting with no energy. Wouldn't move for over a week. I was sure we were going to lose her. It was right after we gave her these treats. I complained to Costco, where we bought them, and they were not responsive, which was surprising for Costco. Haven't given her a chewie since. So happy this information is here. This should be taken off the shelves and they should be punished!

Purchased a 36oz Bag at Sams Club a week ago. Gave my shitzu one everyday. He had violent puking every night. We thought it was his dinner (dry food) because that is what came up. Went and bought a new bag of dry food but puking continued. Finally realized it was the treats! (Did the elimination diet). SHOCKED to see other reviews with similar comments and in some cases more serious issues. VERY DISAPPOINTED to see they are MADE IN CHINA.... How do we know what CHINA is putting in that is causing so many pets to suffer? I feel like the worse parent ever for giving this to my dog. So glad I stopped giving it to him when I did because if I had continued, the end results could have been worse.....much worse. So again....PLEASE DO NOT BUY....... They need to be taken off the shelves!

I purchased these on October 12, 2014. I gave 1/2 a stick, as the package recommends, to my dog on that day as well as 1/2 a stick on Oct 13 & Oct 15. Just hours after giving it to her on Oct 15th she began to vomit and has had bloody soft stool. This is the only new thing introduced to her diet. I'm on the way to the vet to confirm if it may be something else. Regardless, I will NOT give her these treats ever again. Best if used by date is Mar 2015 4082T10101:43L03

Nestle PURINA Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky Tenders - A week ago, we shopped Sam's Club and bought a 36 oz. bag of these so-called treats. Within 3 days our 110 pound Mastiff-Rhodesian Ridgeback began experiencing internal bleeding as evidenced from bloody vomit, along with intense abdominal pain. These so-called treats were the only change to his diet. We examined the contents of this bag of jerky and found each piece was so dried out as to be brittle and when broken up they act like shrapnel to the innards. We will NEVER again purchase a product of ANY KIND with the name PURINA on it. Shame on Nestle, Purina and Sam's Club. The Best By date on package: JUN 2015. Production Code beneath date: 4545785532201403.

3 days ago I went to Sams Club and purchased Waggin Train Treats. The very next day he did not eat his normal food. He had diarrhea and was drinking more than usual this went on for 2 days. The 3rd day he still had not eaten so I took him to the vet. He was diagnose with Pancreatitis and has been put on an IV for the next 2 days. I had only fed him this product twice the recommended amount. How is this product still on shelves. He has always been healthy. Best thing to do is if you have fed these treats take pet to vet and have blood work done. My thoughts go out to all that have lost their little family members.

Our six-month-old toy poodle became violently ill after eating one of these treats. The x-ray they took of her showed a perfect image of the treat in her bowel. She was hospitalized, rehydrated through IVs and given medicine. The vet bill was over $700.00, but her agony and ours was much greater. We bought the treats at Sam's Club where I returned them today with this explanation. Please do not give your beloved pet this treat!!

My dog developed cancer 9 months ago after eating the Waggin Train chicken jerky treats. She was perfectly healthy until then. I had bought them at Sam's Club and they were taken off the shelves for several months. But now I see they are back on the shelves there. How can they allow this poison to still be sold?? My dog is a member of my family, like a child and it is killing me to see her like this. Her kidneys are now shutting completely down and we will have to put her to sleep today. I am heartbroken. I will never buy Purina again and advise everyone I know not to. I can't believe they are not taking responsibility for causing the deaths of so many beloved pets. And that they still sell this poison, even after so many people have told them it is deadly. They are heartless and will do anything to make money, even if it means killing our dogs.

I had fed my dog these treats and he like them but he grew sicker and sicker and I had to put him down the beginning of this year. I wish I had never given him those treats. Why would you keep them on the market so long. I miss him everyday and there is no replacing him. Your treats are poison and he paid the price with his life.

My poor beagle got so sick from these treats. I contacted the company and they said there was nothing wrong with them. We finally had to put her down after a year of trying to keep her alive . She was on iv's at home and was in the hospital on iv's many times. It broke my heart to see her so sick. I wish I would have never bought these treats, and I don't know why they did not take them off the market when so many people were complaining.

I cannot believe that these treats are allowed back on the shelves. My Shih-tzu became very ill after eating these. We know it was the treats because the only thing we changed was taking them out of the equation and he got better. I have 3 dogs, the other two wouldn't touch this poison and they did not get sick. I don't understand why anyone would be on here defending a poison that has killed so many pets. It leads me to believe that they are more than likely with the company. Please get this poison back off the shelves!!

My beautiful Golden Retriever began having problems after eating these for a period of time. She would vomit & began bladder incontinence. She drank heavily & then started having daily seizures. She died a week before Christmas 2012. My Maltipoo who ate the same chicken jerky treats & the chicken jerky wrapped around yams. She began losing her hair, one day started moaning, took her to vet & over $5k later they had to pull the yam item out of her stomach. Her sugar levels were thru the roof at one minute, then her liver enzymes were skyrocketed. She is still alive, but has many issues from this. No animal should be subjected to this cruelty.

My 2 small dogs nearly died from this poison. They were given less than the recommended amount & within days were in emergency vet care. They are never out of sight. Never get into anything. It was the only thing new introduced to them. It cost me $8000.00 & weeks in & out of emergency to save them. I was very lucky to have caught it right away, but both the 11-yr old & 1-yr-old now have pancreatitis. The only food they are fed is Acana Light & Fit. A 5-star food, not PURINA garbage. Waggin Train WILL and has KILLED dogs. It's not worth the risk. Make your own. Chicken processed in China? Would you eat chicken from China? I wish I had known what I know now. Fool me once, shame on me. You will not fool me again, Waggin Train.

My 2 'large' dogs who received 1 treat per day for a few months now suffer permanent damage. One of my girls nearly died - she was in ICU twice and several hospital stays spent saving her life. She now suffers IBS and my other girl has permanent liver damage - they both require daily meds to stay alive. It's true that the FDA hasn't named the cause - but it's also true that the FDA agrees that there IS - repeat IS - a link and they have been cautioning the public since 2007. It's also true the NYSDAM reported finding illegal sulfa antibiotics (levels higher than the FDA reported) and the product was withdrawn from market for over a year.

Back in 2007, I naively purchased a bag of this treats for my young, vibrant, healthy dog. She didn't gobble it up but picked at one treat for a couple days. I just assumed this was because she was playing it like a bone. By the end of the week, she had consumed 3 Jerky treats total. Mind you, my dog is 35 pounds. So this is well below the "feeding guideline" which should have been a big red flag. I mean what kind of treat has feeding guidelines? On the fourth day, my dog started doing this weird praying position for long periods of time. I had thought she was just stretching, but have since learned dogs do this when their stomach is in severe distress.

After reading all the accounts of people claiming Waggin' Train chicken treats sickened or killed their dog, the thing that strikes me is that no one, including the FDA has been able to identify any toxin or disease organism in those treats, yet people still claim they are killing dogs. I fed my greyhounds Waggin' Train treats purchased from Sam's Club a couple times a day (one or two strips per dog) for at least five years and never had the slightest problem. Purina recently reintroduced their chicken treats to the market, saying they are all now made in a single plant in China with strict quality control. I've been purchasing them from Sam's Club again for the past couple of months and have still seen no problems with my dogs.

I recently purchased Waggin' Train Dog Treats not knowing any of the past history of this dog product. My 5 month old Labradoodle puppy loved the treats and then one day last week she started vomiting a yellow foam that included tiny bits of the treat. She also had terrible diarrhea that same day. She has never been sick before this. We immediately removed the treats from her consumption. She is doing much better... but I am worried she may have some lasting effects and may have the vet run some tests. Purina & Waggin' Train Dog Treats blamed me for my dog's illness. That they are not to be given to puppies under 2 years old, please note it does not say this on the bag. That I must have fed them to her wrong. Their insistence that it's not their product and the consumer is to blame standard reply to EVERYONE is suspect... There is something seriously wrong with this product and this company!

One of my Great Danes became seriously ill with mysterious and sudden neurological issues and needed to be hospitalized. Two weeks later my other Great Dane dropped dead of sudden and massive system failure. When it was figured out it was due to the poisoned pet treats from China. I filed a complaint with Waggin Train. The very nasty woman I dealt with said it was my fault and that I didn't feed the treats properly and the treats aren't meant to their main diet. They were fed ONE treat each every other day. When I found out the treats were being re-released and were STILL being sourced and manufactured in CHINA! When I posted on their Facebook page my experience with their product I was told I was "bullying" their brand. Never have I sworn, or been belligerent. I merely stated MY experience with their product. They could care less about the consumer or their pets, it's all about the all mighty dollar and their profits...

My dog got really ill from these chicken dog treats and almost lost him. I went into Walmart Sam's Club and they are back on the shelves. WHY are they there? Did you not think we would notice? How stupid are you. No business from me EVER again.

My dog loves those treats. He has been to the vet vomiting and dehydrated three times. Again started and now he is at the vet in kidney failure... They should not ever be in a business again.

We gave our dogs Waggin Tails Chicken Jerky purchased from Costco in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Blood tests at our veterinarian indicated extremely elevated liver enzymes in all 4 dogs tested. We discontinued the treats and retested their blood after a couple of months and the liver enzymes were back to normal. After this experience we researched the product and found that many pets had become sick or died after being fed this product. So we are very angry that the sale and distribution of this product was not immediately stopped - whether or not the exact cause could be determined. Now we see an alternate dog jerky product, also made in China is being sold at Costco.

My Chihuahua is 5 years old. She is the baby girl of my family and we love her unconditionally. We have been giving her the Waggin Train treats every day for the past 4 years and she loved them. Over the past year, she has been throwing up yellow foamy stuff and began to lose her teeth not long after she started getting a bloated stomach. The vet states it's because of these treats. I'm lost... I don't know what to do... I don't have the funds to pay for all the vet bills. She is always yelping like she is in pain. These treats should be removed immediately from all store shelves. My dog is slowly dying in front of my eyes and there is nothing I can do. All because I trusted a company to provide a healthy treat for my dog.

We started giving our dog mostly Waggin Train & Canyon Creek brands of chicken jerky & 1 time duck treats 3-4 years ago. He loved these treats! He was throwing up a yellow foam and went from 17 lbs "of attitude" to 13 limp pounds. In Oct 2011, he was diagnosed w/ diabetes. Last March he almost died from insulin problems. Through blood tests, we learned that he had elevated enzymes which causes diarrhea.

Found duck tenders as my dog always like them (well jerky is what she always ate ‘til recall). Well I bought figuring they found why the recall was needed, so I purchased a bag. Then one day after dog had only 2 small tenders day before because I was nervous to try them again after recall once, I came home and she had blood in her stools and acting of the need to go potty. So put her outside and yes, she did and more blood... Now I don’t know if it was the tenders but that is only change in her eating as she eats dry food and fresh cooking of meats and veggies that are suitable for dogs and humans only.

I don't understand why this product is still on the market! My experience starts the beginning of 2010 when we found Waggin Train Treats in Sam's Club, carefully read the label, determined they were safe, and purchased them. We stuck with the chicken jerky thinking it was just dehydrated chicken breast and surely would be safe. We had been through the dog food scare (I think the previous year when it was found China had been putting melamine in dog food).

My Maltipoo Cooter loves chicken jerky. Waggin Train was our normal brand to buy him. One Sunday night in April 2012, he began to vomit. While it is not something he does often, we did not think anything of it. When his vomiting didn't subside and started to be more like pink foam, I got concerned and urged my husband to take us to the emergency vet. The vet is about 50 miles away and during the ride, he slept most the time and wanted to be held. Once at the vet, they checked us in and asked us to take a seat until called. Throughout the time at the vet, he vomited five times and it was a considerable amount of blood (no longer pink foam). I felt so bad for him and also the man who followed him around with the mop/bucket. They asked if they should take x-rays but knowing he hadn't eaten anything a couple hours prior to that (other than WT Chix Jerky) along with the fact that we knew this would be a costly visit, we decided not to have x-rays taken.

My beautiful, healthy, and happy German Shepherd Heidi died just a few days after eating Waggin’ Train Chicken Jerky product. If your dog became sick or died like mine did, please find me on Facebook at **. I have over 75,000 people who are helping to make sure no more dogs die. I am sorry for all your losses and illnesses. I didn't know anything about the dangers until after my sweet Heidi died. I am sure none of you did either. This is not a solicitation. I am not an attorney, just one of the thousands of grieving people who have been affected by this product.

My husband and I have a miniature pincher that we consider our baby. She is 10 years old and has been with us since she was 8 weeks old and has always been a very healthy dog. We found at Wal Mart the treats by Waggin Train and brought them home for our baby. She loved the yams with chicken jerky so we continued to buy them for her. She started to become very ill with vomiting and severe diarrhea and fever. My first thought was she was poisoned by someone. We stopped all treats and just gave her stewed chicken and rice. Slowly she got better (Thank God).

My dog loved the Waggin Train treat, but he too became ill and began vomiting yellow foam. I didn't know why, but I wondered why they stopped selling one of his favorite treats and decided to look it up to see if I can order it. To say the least, I was surprised when I read the statement from the company and the many comments from consumers like myself. I am pleased to learn of this and will alert my friends and family who are pet owners. My heart goes out to those who have lost their pets.

Waggin Train Chicken n' biscuits - My parents’ dog, a very healthy active 10 year old dog, became very ill overnight. She was not moving and hardly breathing. We rushed her to the vet’s emergency facility. And after treating her for 8 days and $10,000.00 later, she pulled through. The dog had severe infections in several organs. I didn't put two and two together until I read comments and information posted here. The treats we were feeding her were making her sick. Now I am very mad. I'm looking forward to a class action lawsuit. We should all join in on that and at the very least be compensated for our financial loss. Many lost their pets. I am so sad for them.
