Waggin Train Treats Reviews

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.

We lost 2 beloved 4 and 5-year-old Chihuahuas in 6 weeks after they ate Waggin Train Duck Treats. A FDA rep did come to our home to pick up the treats and take statements from me and my partner. She also spoke to our reg vet and the emergency vet. We found the smallest dog who weighed 3.5 pounds dead when we woke up. Bloody diarrhea was everywhere. Two weeks later we saw the same symptoms (lots of bloody stools, anemia, respiratory distress) in our 10-pound dog. I am a RN and began research. I started at the vet site and ended up directed to the FDA site. The information was unbelievable!

I didn't know why I couldn't buy any more Waggin' Chicken Jerky for my Layla until a few days ago. I found a bag at Walmart's but then the cashier wouldn't sell them to me and thank God she didn't because I never understood why my Yorkie was vomiting up (yellow foam) and when I started buying Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky, my little Yorkie wouldn't eat anything else. She just wanted those treats and every time I take her to the vet, she would be four to five pounds overweight. So please, if you all have any of that jerky left, trash it. Don't give it to your pets. I'm glad I decided to look it up online; thanks to you all.

Just last week, I accidentally stumbled across the recall for the Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats because I think it was scrolling through the AOL news I clicked on "Pet Food Recall" or something similar. I always read these out of morbid curiosity (my friend lost a cat in the last melamine one) and as I feed Primal Raw Nuggets and Royal Canin dry, I feel pretty confident that I will not see them in the lists.

I have fed my little Chihuahua these poisonous treats for over a year now. He has been having bad seizures, acting strange and generally not being his happy bouncy self. I could not figure out why and could not afford to take him to the vet as I am on disability. I was doing all kinds of research which pointed to his being poisoned or a brain tumor. I live alone so the environment is very controlled so I was pointing to the tumor. I just could not believe it when I went to buy his favorite treat Duck Jerky and Duck Wrapped Pork - both Waggin Train was gone off the shelf.

We had three Chihuahua's. The 3 pound Chihuahua was treated for a gastric bleed of unknown cause. It seemed to have recovered. However, we found her dead after waking up one morning and finding bloody diarrhea everywhere. Cassie was 5 years old. Our 4 year old Chihuahua began to show the same symptoms. We purchased 25 pounds of these jerky treats online in 9 months. The 3 pound dog preferred the treats to food. I didn't see this as a problem.

Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats - I have 3 dogs that loved these treats. One of which is now having issues with her kidney function. After having read all the reviews, I now understand what has been happening to my dogs. They have all had times when they vomited yellow frothy stuff and white foamy stuff, and excessive thirst followed by bed wetting that they have never done before. There have also been bouts of diarrhea. I thought I was doing them a favor by giving them what I thought was a healthy treat. I have always fed them holistic dog food. I bought my treats at Sam's Warehouse. When I could not find them, I asked where they were and was only told that they had been recalled. So in the process of trying to find out other stores that carry this brand, I found this site. I wish I had known this sooner. I am currently up to $400 in vet bills for just one dog.

Our 3 dogs love Waggin Train Treats, and they have been recalled from our local Wal-Mart store also. I am so happy that I read these reviews before proceeding to find another place to purchase them. I will stop now! Thank you all for taking the time to share your experience with others. I absolutely agree with all of the comments related to purchasing products from China. They tend to meet the initial standards and then decrease them every shipment afterwards. I am sick of being pushed to buying inferior products from China just to line the pockets of publicly held companies to increase their profits and earnings per share. Our country is only surviving by being a distributor of China products. What happened to the proud comment - made in America!?

I had two dogs, a Scottish Terrier and a Maltipoo. Both were healthy. I purchased some Waggin Train Yams and some Drumettes. I feed the Yams to my dogs and the Terrier would not eat them, but the Maltipoo ate them. After about two weeks of eating them, the dogs were playing in the backyard and I looked out and the Maltipoo was laying on her back. I went to her and she was dead - within 20 minutes of being outside. I did not know there was a problem with these treats until today. The dog was healthy prior to these treats. Why are these treats still being sold? I still have the treats and am so thankful that my other dog did not like them. I kept them to give to someone's dog prior to knowing about the problems with these treats. I am so happy that I did not give them away and harm someone else's pet.

When I received my 3 months old puppy, his desired choice of treats were Waggin Train dog treats. Over time they were all he wanted. I couldn't encourage him to eat his food anymore. He is now 3 years old and will be four this summer (if he makes it!). He refuses to eat his food, he refuses to eat chicken, pork with rice I have been preparing for him. There are no treats he'll eat! This has been going on for months and months! When I noticed I wasn't seeing Waggin Train Treats anymore is when I decided today to check online about a possible recall. I'm horrified! My little guy is lethargic, won't eat, won't play, just lies around with his eyes half open!

I noticed my dog was drinking a lot of water. I really didn't know why. Today, my friend and I went to Wal-mart to find these Big Blast treats for her dog because my dog really liked them. We could not find them. When I got home, I called Wal-mart to make sure that was where I got them. I was told they had been recalled. From all that I have read, I guess I should take my baby boy to the vet to see if he has any lasting effect from these Chinese ** they have been sending to the US. After all the bad products we have received from this country, why are we still accepting them? It’s probably because they own most of the US. Who is going to pay for the vet bill?

I gave my 2-year-old, 8lb. dog a bone. The next day, she started vomiting with diarrhea. This went on for two more days. I took her to the vet and she was near death from the bacteria and position of the bone, along with a fever of 103.9. It has been 5 days now and they don't know if she is going to make it due to her being a small breed (schnoodle) and only weighing 8lbs. It has attacked her pancreas. I am beside myself that the government is allowing this to remain on the market. I knew nothing about this brand made in China. If my dog does not make it through this, I don't know what I'm going to do. I would like to start class action lawsuit. Feel free to join me.

I was giving him extra treats as he got to where he wouldn't eat anything, but he was sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Then he started losing energy and would only walk a few steps. Finally, he just would rest with no energy at all then the twitching started. The Vet tested for everything and kept saying he must have gotten into some poison. I kept saying no he didn't get into anything. There was nothing they could do; they had to let him go. Please don’t feed these to your pets! I am so upset, I just found out about this when I was going to buy more and couldn't find it anywhere. The biggest heartache is, I was feeding him these to make him feel better!

Indigo is an absolutely gorgeous Siberian husky. I purchased a bag of peanut butter-flavored biscuits wrapped with chicken jerky. Indy would get them as treats. At about the same time, I also put her flea medicine on her. One weekend, she had a few seizures, and it was painful to see. The following weekend she began having seizures, and had 7 in a 24-hour period. I took her in to see her vet, still believing that the seizures were caused by the flea medicine. I had bathed her after the final seizure and thought that this cured her. The following weekend she had another two seizures, and I realized that it might be something else, but absolutely did not put two and two together.

took him to the vet. She found a lump at the top of his GI tract and gave me antibiotics to help ease the discomfort.

For years, we would buy our dogs the Waggin Train Treats for our beautiful dobermans. Our first was named Isabel. She was a beautiful sweet baby. And unknown to me, I had been poisoning her day in and day out with these treats. We spent thousands of dollars in vet bills to find out why and how she was getting sick. Our vet said that she was being poisoned, so we started cooking everything for her and still giving her what we thought were good, healthy dog treats. She died at 5 years of age. We got our next doberman, Kira, and it only took four years for this sweet angel to be taken from us from kidney failure. And the whole time, we thought what we were giving her were healthy dog treats. All the while, we were poisoning our sweet babies until the day they died. It has been three years now since Kira has passed and now we find out why and how both our angels were taken. It makes me sick.

My two-year old boxer named Hogan, started vomiting and gagging profusely over the past few days. He has also had loose stools and has had terribly smelling gas. I took him to my local vet’s office today, which cost me over $400.00. Unaware of any recalls for the Waggin Train Wholesome Chicken Jerky Tenders until today, I fed him these treats regularly! He does not receive any junk food at all. He only eats top quality Nutro Ultra Holistic dry dog food, other than the above mentioned treats. What is going on in this county that I love so much that Waggin Train products would have not been pulled permanently from all United States retailers or banned outright if there have been so many reports of our beloved pets getting so sick from these Chinese-based products? I, for one, am outraged, that I fed my dog treats that I assumed were safe for my pet, but instead, now feel guilty for feeding him something that could possibly kill him! I hope that my buddy Hogan recovers soon.

My wonderful dog has been eating these daily for at least 6 years. The last 2 years, he has developed heart problems (needs 3 medicines a day). Not his fault! As my vet's assistant and I reviewed these treats, it appears this has been an issue for years. Just recalled again. Really? This company needs to stop! My baby loves these treats and they were the only chewer he would eat for years. I guess you cannot trust this company to take care of your much loved pets, but they will hurt them. Thousands of dollars to keep my beloved pet alive. Sad. Thank goodness I have a great vet and assistant! Do not feed your dog these treats!

I have been feeding these treats for at least 1 1/2 years. My Yorkies are my children. About three weeks ago, two of my Yorkies became very sick. Numerous vet visits later and a lot of money later, we have a conclusion. About 1 1/2 weeks ago, we ran out of the treats and with them being so sick I didn’t get anymore. Last night, I went to Walmart to pick up a bag and was told they will not be carrying them any longer. One of my dogs had gotten better in the past week, so when I got home I found a few still in the bag so I fed them to him. Within an hour, he was vomiting and had diarrhea. Yet again, I’m so furious! She didn’t tell me they were recalled. She made it sound like they were too "expensive for our customers." Wow, really? Now, I still have a very sick dog and now the one that had gotten better is now sick and more medical bills tomorrow. Looks like, Mollie will be on meds the rest of her life to keep her alive. Thank you Waggin Tails.

I have 2 rat terriers - sisters born from the same mom and dad, 9 months apart. Molly just turned 7 and Cici will be 7 in September. I have spent hundreds of dollars on these treats and even more on vet bills due to loose, slimy stools so bad my dogs would cry out in pain. Early last year there was a warning on TV about chicken treats made in China. To my surprise, these treats were made in China. The packages say product of the US, but if you search hard enough you'll find "Made in China" somewhere on the bag.

My dog became very ill from eating these treats in January of 2013. I thought I was going to lose her. Her favorite of this brand of treats was the Chicken and Biscuit although she ate several of their varieties of the chicken jerky type. Although she is doing better now one week later, I still do not know if these treats have impacted her organ function. She still is not eating or sleeping well.

I have three dogs, one is a Yorkie-Poo. I have a Lhasa Apso and a Boxer. We began to notice that the little Yorkie-Poo, Darby, was coughing after eating the treat of Duck Jerky from Waggin' Train Treats. I took him to the vet and he is now on two medications and has stool that is the color of Hershey syrup! He only weighs 6 lbs. We pray he will live. My Boxer, Buzzy, is 6 years old and, all of a sudden, he has started urinating on our furniture! He has been potty trained since he was a very young pup. We never had any problems with him, but that was before we gave him the Duck Jerky made by Waggin' Train treats! It has only been about three days since they all had the duck jerky.

Luckily, my husband found this site. We, as doggie mommies and daddies, want to buy our babies treats. We are thinking we are doing something nice, but it was killing our babies. We need to let the stores know that if they continue to sell the product, we will not shop there. Boycott the stores. The government is not going to do something - we have to. Write letter and make phone calls. My babies were having a lot of gas and the little ones did not want to eat. When she got me up three times in one night to go to the bathroom, I knew something was wrong. Thank God I did not give it to them all the time. I threw the stuff out. I am going to get a dehydrator and make my own treats. They are doing good. Boycott, boycott, boycott.

I purchased my new puppy around Thanksgiving last year (2011). That same day, I carried him to my vet for his initial checkup and to get him in the system. All was good. A healthy 2.3lbs baby boy! I immediately stocked up on supplies and toys. It had been a while since I had a pup, so I was excited to see the Waggin Train line of treats. I picked up a couple of suitable bags. I always (until last week) pick up 1 to 2 bags of Waggin Train treats because when he won't eat his regular can food, he will take his treats. Since my first vet visit, I have spent close to $1,000.00 on this pup (purchase price of $200.00 included).

I have been buying my dogs Waggin’ Train Treats since June; they loved them. In July, my older dog had the runs really bad and was becoming dehydrated. I brought her to the vet and then the animal hospital medicine and care; she was okay for a while. I slowly brought her back to a normal diet. I started giving her the Waggin’ Train Treats again, and here she is sick again. I was unaware of the problems with the product and did not put 2 and 2 together when the vet had told me it has been from bacteria in the treats that I have been giving them. I called the company and all they can say is “We are sorry, but our products were recalled, but no harm.” Really now. I would really like to see them eat them and get sick, and we can say “Sorry, no harm.”

Last week, my little baby Johnny ate his favorite treats like always with his sisters. In the past, I've noticed them having either the runs or a stomachache and gas, so I started eliminating different things (food and different treats). On the 9th, I left with my daughter. An hour later, I got a call from my boyfriend who was clearly distraught. My 5-year-old teacup chihuahua was found on his side - unresponsive and rigid. He ran across the street to his mother's house, who put a cold compress on him, rubbed him and put sugar in his mouth. After a few minutes, he was back and was confused and scared. I brought him to the hospital where they took his blood. The doctor said he had a seizure and he did not know why. All his blood work came back normal. I know it was the treats and I'm lucky he's alive. I really don't know what I would do if I lost him.

On December 30th, 2012, my companion of 11 years passed away in my arms, gasping for air looking into my eyes to say goodbye to me. I will not ever forget that moment ever. River was more than a companion; he was a part of this family like a blood relative. I only will state facts here as hard as it is for me to talk about this for it was only 2 weeks ago today he passed. River died from kidney failure. He was fine only a week before, playing, running around and having his everyday treat.

My dog is very ill from eating the liver part of this treat on Wed, Jan. 9, 2013. I just got home from the vet. My dog began having severe diarrhea that has gone on for over 48 hours. She is weak, unbelievably thirsty and clearly in distress. She pants, paces, cries, then runs for the door and comes in exhausted. I am outraged that I fed her something that obviously has been in the forefront and authorities are clearly aware of this toxic treat. When will someone do something?!

I bought Waggin' Train for my 2 babies. I gave it to both my baby girl and my li'l man. My girl started having loose stools and throwing up, then she became very unstable. After I took her to my vet and he watched her for 6 hrs and he told me that she was too far gone, I had to put her to sleep after having her for 13 years. She was the last baby I got from my dad before he passed. The 6-year-old, I'm having to give him meds, and I pray he makes it. They need to pull this stuff off the shelves.

What can we do about the Waggin Train dog food making our dogs sick? I think we should be able to sue the company that makes bad dog food because our dogs are our kids and family. We cry when they are sick and the Waggin dog food made my dog sick. I gave her diarrhea meds and meds to stop her from vomiting. Can we get an attorney for this problem? If our children get poisoned, we have a lawsuit. So why not our doggie and puppy? My dog is my baby girl. Very upset about this. Very upset.

These Chinese made things seem to be toxic to my dog! I purchased a small bag of these Waggin Train brand dried chicken strips from my local Ingles supermarket with no prior knowledge of their notorious reputation. I gave my chocolate lab mix pup two of the treats the first day. That night, he jumped out of bed and threw up a slimy, yellow mess. I didn't make a connection to the treats until I gave him another one a couple of days later. Within four hours, he was vomiting again the same slimy yellow mixture with some material that looked like the partially digested treat. Since then, he has thrown up three more times, and now, his muzzle and lips on one side of his mouth have become red, raw and inflamed. This is an ongoing condition, so I don't know how badly he's ultimately going to fare. After reading some of the testimony from other dog owners, I'm very concerned.

I adopted my dog about 1 1/2 month ago, and when I was shopping for treats as a first time dog owner, Waggin' Train seemed tasty for dogs. Peanut butter and jerky, apples wrapped in bacon - yummy! As soon as I started feeding them to my little girl, she had soft stool that stunk something fierce, and she vomited twice (once after being a bad girl and getting in to a whole bag while Dad had his back turned). Thankfully, that time she was going to the vet to get fixed and get her shots. She kept getting her stool checked for worms and nothing other than that seemed to be off. I thought it was her food getting her sick, but even after switching it, she still had soft stool. It was never to the point where it slowed her down or raised terrible concern.

This was the first time I purchased a variety of their treats as they were on sale. Within a day, my dog became so severely sick I had to rush her to the hospital and she had to stay there two nights at the vet. Their Chicken and Apples Treats is what poisoned my dog.

I gave my 8 dogs Waggin Train pork twists wrapped in chicken jerky and had to take one to the vet within a few hours, and spent the next several days nursing all my dogs because they all had explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea and vomiting. Two of them still won't eat anything except water. These treats are no good - your dog will get sick. They need to be taken off of the shelves.

I bought a bag of the Waggin' Train "Wholesome Chicken Jerky Tenders" at Sam's Club a week ago (first time I have ever bought or given this brand to my dog, Chopper). I noticed within a day he was not acting normal. He wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink, and was not going to the bathroom. I didn't think it was the treats and kept feeding them to him since they were the only thing he would eat (2 a day). I finally saw the recall notice for other Jerky type treats and started to read up on it. My dog is sick from your treats! He won't move, and he's in pain. He finally went poop and it was yellow! He has eaten only twice in the last week. I can't afford to take him to the vet. He's my baby. You need to recall these treats! They are harming our babies.

I received a bag of Waggin Train jerky tenders (never fed this crap to my puppy before). So 4 days ago, I gave Thalia a treat - a really small piece - to see if she would like it. She did, but then I think God did something because my bf called me outside as an emergency, so I stopped giving them treats. So, Thalia was the only one who started acting really weird the next day, since she was the only one that got a treat. She started vomiting (white foam) and drinking a lot of water, too much. I am 100% sure it was this stupid treat I fed my baby. People, don’t feed this to dogs. It’s poison. I see my baby is suffering, but I have faith she will recover. If someone knows how to help me cure her, contact me via email please at **. I’ve been with her all day, and she seems a little better now. I’ve been treating her with electrolytes. She’s been drinking it (and water) like crazy. She has eaten a tiny bit too. Oh, and to that company, let’s sue them **. I hate them. All dogs shouldn’t have to go through this. They should not be selling this crap.

My 7-year old black lab Princess died a long, painful death after her organs were shutting down, after being poisoned after eating your Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats in February 2012. I know it was this because it was the only difference in my 2 dogs' diets that we went over with our vet when it appeared Princess had been poisoned. Our other dog wouldn't touch those treats and Princess ate them all.

Waggin Train is selling poisonous treats for dogs. They are killing your dogs for many years now and you don't do nothing! I fed my dog with your treats and he got sick. He is under treatment and we pray to God for him to be fine. My doctor’s bill is already $1000. I will make a website with all the victims (the dog owners who already lost their dogs due to your treats) and we will sue you for this. You love money? I will give you what you deserve. Criminals!

I bought my 14 year old Lhasa Apso Waggin Train Jerky Treats with Chicken from Walgreens in Des Moines, IA last week. We fed her a few jerky treats last week and she immediately began to not act right. She sleeps with us every night and she began panting heavily at night after eating the treats. She has been panting so loud that it keeps us awake. She has done this for about 4 nights. Last night, she was up again panting and I was up with her, comforting her. She took a big drink of water; I then let her outside to potty at about 3:00am. She then began vomiting over and over again all over the house. We took her to the vet this morning and they are doing blood work and urine screening. We should receive the results tomorrow.

I bought the Duck Jerky because I had heard there were possible issues with the Chicken Jerky and didn't want to risk it. I usually only split one piece between the two of them or gave them one each. The Duck Jerky is much smaller than the Chicken Jerky pieces. I was moving and trying to clear out my cabinets so I gave them extra treats. Bloody diarrhea everywhere, lethargic, didn't want to play at all (very abnormal); thankfully they recovered. I of course had already thrown the packaging away and didn't have any remaining to send in for sampling. My heart goes out to all of the owners who weren't as fortunate. This was almost a year ago around the beginning months of 2012.

After giving my Jack Russell 2 of these so-called good treats that are still in stores, my poor dog began to vomit and have lose stools. Next day, I took her to the vet. She was dehydrated and she was given a fluid and a shot to stop the vomit. She still had the lose stools and she was eating a little (just chicken), but she’s not herself. She didn’t want to play and was very depressed. So the third day she ate little more chicken and still wanted to eat grass. She didn’t want to drink, but we did get her to. She still had the poops, but now blood was in it. Later that night she wouldn’t eat or drink anything. So, I took her back to the vet today with the bag of treats and my vet said that she thought they took them out of stores and that many dogs been very sick from them!

I had heard from a friend several months ago that dogs were getting sick from eating Chicken Jerky treats and made a mental note not to purchase any. Last week, I was shopping and saw Waggin' Train Duck Jerky treats on sale - thinking nothing of it, I bought a package. I gave my 70 lb. Husky mix two or three treats in the afternoon. She woke me up unusually early the next morning acting like she needed to go outside, so I let her out and she had diarrhea. An hour later, she needed to go outside again and the diarrhea was even worse. She was uninterested in her food but drinking water normally. She continued to be sick for the next two days but has thankfully recovered.

I began feeding my two Yorkshire Terriers, Bella and Kiwi, the Waggin Train Duck Jerky treats in 2010 approximately. (I also gave them Canyon Creek Duck and Sweet potato treats, but they had Waggin Train Duck treats primarily.) Both dogs were diagnosed with chronic kidney failure. Bella was diagnosed on July 18, 2012 and had to be put to sleep August 2. Kiwi was diagnosed on Aug 15, 2012 and had to be put to sleep Aug 23, 2012. They came from different dams/sires. I find it hard to believe both dogs getting this was due to coincidence or age. Bella was 12 and Kiwi was 11, still fairly young age for small dogs. They were in good health with the exception of... kidney failure.

I was feeding my dogs the Waggin Train Treats and Canyon Creek. Then, my husband told me about the issues so I did some research. It was around when my female was having issues, she'd have runny stools and throwing up, so I stopped right away. I told my mom and forgot to tell my grandma and aunt about all this issues. A week and a half ago, my aunt's dog got an infection from these treats. Two different vets didn't know what to do for her and she just died last night. She was only 3 or 4. Why have these companies let this go on? For most people like in my family, our dogs are our family.

I was mortified. I bought the pork skin twists with the chicken liver in the middle. I opened a sealed bag, and out of the center of one of the twists I was about to feed my dog, 2 enormous, 2-3 inch long roaches fell out of the center. I contacted an attorney who said that dogs are considered property. Property, really? And that I could not seek any action until my dog dies. What? If you google Waggin’ Train 2012 Recall and dog deaths come up as the main searches. There were tons of bags on the shelves at Walmart where I bought these. I am going to contact the FDA, the health department, the Waggin’ Train PR rep, and Walmart to pull them from the shelves. They are not American bugs at all. I could have fed those things to my dogs, my companions, my babies. I will not stop until action is taken on this.

My dog died a horrible death in 2006 of sudden kidney failure due to eating Waggin’ Train Chicken Fillets. At the time, my veterinarian did not know why but stated it was something she ate, a poison if you will. Yet she was always with us, no access to anything dangerous. Then all the cases about these Waggin’ Train Treats came out in 2007. Put two and two together equals the Waggin’ Train Treats (which were the only treats she ate).

Waggin’ Train chicken jerky caused my Bailey's kidney failure after 2 years of giving them to her. She actually loved them, def her favorite. So, I never ran out and she had them daily. I switched to these treats thinking they were better option than pig ears as I heard those were bad for dogs. I was so wrong. She passed of kidney failure in October. I have found lots of information regarding these treats poisoning over 1000 dogs just in the US. I am 100% sure that these treats were the cause of her death. Please do not give these to your pet! These treats killed my dog!

I am sure Waggin’ Train Jerky Tenders is what killed my beautiful boy Dusty. He used to love these treats. He got sick one day and never recovered. The vet could never figure out what was wrong with him, even though my wife and I spent thousands of dollars on tests and treatments. I always suspected that it was the Waggin’ Train Jerky that caused his death. It made no sense. He was only a few years old. It was not an easy death either. He really suffered. We had tried every thing to save him. He finally died in my arms having a blood transfusion. This happened about two years ago and it still tears me up to this day. I loved this dog. He was my best friend. We did everything together. All I can say is beware of Sam's Club and Costco. They always seem to be involved when this kind of stuff happens. They killed my dog and I hate them.

After about three treats, we noticed the symptoms: lethargy, vomiting, not eating. After a few more days, his urine contained blood. So we took him to the vet, and they diagnosed him with a urinary tract infection (UTI). But they could not explain the symptoms, as they are not related to a UTI. After coming home and doing some research, I realized that these treats are responsible. Being I dealing with my dog being sick for two weeks and taking meds (My dog almost died!) and spending a $600 vet bill, this company should be ashamed!

I gave my Lhasa Apso one of these Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky treats one evening and come morning when I woke there was vomit all over the house. She had stopped eating and drinking. In the evening I noticed she started having bloody diarrhea everywhere. Poor dog, I thought she was gonna die. She was hiding behind a door all curled up. I took her to the emergency vet hospital and she was admitted to the intensive care unit. She had pancreatitis, swollen stomach and intestines. She was put on 5 different medications. This really upsets me that this item has been recalled and yet it is still on the shelves at Sam’s Club and other stores here in Albuquerque. This is animal abuse!

Waggin’ Train Chicken Treats - I had to have my dog put to sleep because this stuff poisoned her. It started with vomiting, loss of weight, no appetite, no energy, and drinking lots of water. Then she had a stroke, lost all muscle tone, lost control of walking and jumping, then bleeding from her bowels. This took 6 months for a healthy dog to dead dog. I spent about $600 at the vet, another $200 to have her put down and cremated all because we buy poison from China. I think that company owes me something.

My dog would be given one of these treats (Waggin' Train Dog Treats & Milo's Kitchen Chicken Jerky) every day. I did not see the reviews or complaints regarding these treats until my dog became ill. I have spent enough to supply the dog a treat a day for over a year and almost $2,000 in vet bills bringing my dog back from severe bloody stool diarrhea, vomiting, and refusal to eat anything for over a week. There were no changes in my dog's environment, routines, or foods that could have caused these issues. He was in perfect health. These treats should be taken off the shelves immediately. My dog's illness occurred in July 2012.

Our dogs got very sick after eating Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky. They had diarrhea and were vomiting after having one treat. Their symptoms improved after two days but we only gave them one treat on the day we bought them so we are hoping there are no long term effects. We reported the issue to the company and the FDA. We won't ever buy pet food made in China again.

My little dog has been eating at least 2 duck treats every day for at least 3 years. She has never been sick. These are Waggin Train brand. All of the complaints seem to be the chicken treats. I'm confused but to be on the safe side, I won't be getting anymore. Don't expect China to comply - we owe them billions and billions of dollars, how do you think that will work out? Whose side do you think the FDA will take? Have you taken a close look at who is in charge of these agencies? Wake up, time to flush the toilet, get out and vote.

We bought these treats, and I had not heard about the issues with them. After giving them to our dogs, they had vomiting and loose stools. Luckily, my husband told me to stop giving them to the dogs. But it was too late for one of my dogs. She was older and probably weaker. Her eating habits changed. Looking back now, I think she probably had kidney problems. She got so sick so fast until she had complete liver failure. Now all we have is her ashes, and I am sick over it after reading about this. I didn't think this could happen again after what happened with a dog food a few years ago.

My healthy and happy 2-year-old Shih Tzu/Pekinese became ill after eating these treats with vomiting, lethargy, excessive thirst, and loss of appetite. We took him to the vet on 12-28-11. He was diagnosed with kidney failure. He was treated by the vet for 2 1/2 days with no improvement. I was advised by the vet to put him down. He was euthanized on 12/31/11 - happy freaking New Year. My husband loved this dog so much. He still misses him every single day. And to make matters so much worse, New Year’s Day is the anniversary of the day three of his kids died in a car wreck in ‘88. So, to watch his Buddy die on New Year’s Eve was even more devastating.

My family had no clue of this recall till after our mother had passed away on June 27, 2012. Our mother has a low immune system but she had it under control and was considering her several health problems she battled over years. She was 56 years old and, sadly, left behind her baby puppy, Lizzy. Our mother fed her toy poodle these treats all the time. As any pet owner, her dog was treated just as she treated us children. Back in December 2011, our mother had become sick. We had taken her to many doctors who could not find a reason for the sickness outside her several illnesses she had already had.

Waggin Train dog treats - Dog treats made my pet extremely sick, vomiting, diarrhea and weak. I picked up a package of 45 or 3.53lbs at a big box store, it only took one. My vet is affiliated with UF. He sent a sample off to University of Florida School of Veterinary School for testing to find out why.

I was unaware that there was a recall of this product. We have been using these treats (Waggin Train Big Blast Jerky Treats) regularly for the past several months. My Brittany loved them; however, right now she is at the vet hospital with pancreatitis. After reading other posts, I am definitely wondering if these treats may be the cause. I think the company should be required to at least provide possible side effects on the packaging. Dog-loving consumers are being lured to buy the product based on the packaging, which claims that this is a healthy and wholesome dog treat, when, in fact, the company knows that it has caused pets to become sick and die. My vet bill so far is $600 and Britt, my best friend, has only been there a few hours. You can't put a price on a treasured pet, so I will do whatever it takes to make her well again; but the company certainly should have a legal responsibility to compensate the consumer for the damage their product is causing to many pets throughout the county.

I was feeding Waggin’ Train Chicken Jerky Treats to my pug. Around November 2011, I began to notice things just weren't right with her. She had become lethargic, had loose bowel movements, and seemed to drink a lot more water than usual. When she started to not want to eat her food, I knew something was wrong. I cook everything she eats, and give her no store bought dog food, so the Waggin’ Train Treats were the only thing she was given besides freshly prepared foods.

Just last week, I bought my dog the Waggin' train treats and fed my dog 3 treats over the course of 3 days. Now, he's not eating and had diarrhea for two days. He still appears hungry and looking for food; however, whatever he eats, it comes out within a couple of hours. He isn't lethargic nor weak but hopefully we were able to catch this in time before it happens. The only thing different is the dog treats.

Waggin’ Train Treats - I found a chicken bone in the treats. My dog has lost interest in eating. He used to dive into his food. Now, he just looks at it. I feed him Large Puppy Blue. He used to love it.

Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats - I purchased these treats at Hannaford Supermarket in West Peabody in July of 2011. I gave her one treat before she started acting unusually. She was in and out of the pray stance (a sign a dog is in severe abdominal distress). For a week, she wouldn't eat and was very thirsty and lethargic. She kept trying to squat, I wasn't sure if it was her bowels or urination until one afternoon, she had bloody stools. She had only had 3 Jerky treats total. I immediately put her on diet of organic ground beef and rice and she recovered on her own. But looking back, she started that pray stance within hours of ingesting first treat.

Our 9-month old Australian Shepherd puppy died in September 2011. He had routine care from our experienced veterinarian since we brought him home as a 7-week old puppy. He was healthy and energetic. Once he aged a few more months, we gave him Waggin Train chicken jerky as treats. He became very lethargic and uninterested in his usual activities. Immediately, we took him to the veterinarian. After a visit to that office and a specialist's office, they found he was in rapid kidney failure but could not figure out why. Chance passed away overnight in the vet's kennel, hooked up to an IV. We believe the treats were the culprit to his agonizing, unexplainable, heart-wrenching death. Our 2-year old daughter had lost her best friend... to pet treats.

I just lost my wonderful Westie yesterday and best friend to these contaminated treats by Waggin Train and Canyon Creek made by Nestle Purina. My dog had been sick over the last 4 to 6 weeks with stomach issues (especially vomiting, some diarrhea) which now appear to have been caused by these tainted treats. These are treats that I have used before and had some at home as I have 3 dogs. My Westie loved these treats. I too liked them because I thought they were really U.S. manufactured in South Carolina. The back of the labeling on the package sure does read as if these products are properly made and prepared with the utmost care and attention for your dogs. The jerky is even made from free range chickens. Wow, that's better than the chicken we buy for our family! I only want the best for my dogs. That is what I thought I was getting from these treats. Of course, I was wrong, wronged and duped!

Waggin' Train dog treats - I gave dog treats and now she refuses to eat and is vomiting. Then I saw online that other dogs were sick from this brand as well. I see that they refused to recall the food and it makes me very angry. I will not buy any food or treats that are made in China from now on and will tell my friends and family as well.

I gave my 8-year-old healthy German Shepherd, Heidemarie, two pieces of Waggin Train Jerky Tenders (chicken) on May 22. On May 25, she refused her food, began vomiting, and had diarrhea. On May 26, the vomiting and diarrhea got worse. It was Memorial Day weekend, and the vet's office was closed. During all this time, Heidemarie drank from her water bowl almost constantly and then vomited it up a few minutes later. On Memorial Day, Monday (May 28), my sweet dog collapsed and could not get up. I held her and cried as she stopped breathing, convulsed, and died. I didn't know anything about the controversy regarding the Waggin Train Jerky Tenders until after my dog died, and I began searching for answers on the internet. It's too late for my best friend. Don't let it happen to you. Do not give your dog Waggin Train Jerky Tenders.

Since reading this, I now wonder if these Waggin’ Train treats are the reason my dog Satchmo became so ill last year and died. It was heart-breaking for me to see my Satch get sicker and sicker and the vets I took him to do not know why he was so ill. I have been feeding these treats to my other two dogs, Ella and Fatha. I will no longer give them these treats. I could not bear to see these two go the way Satchmo did.

I started using Waggin’ Train treats as a way to start training my dog. She slowly became sicker and sicker and within the same week, she suddenly died (RIP Akira). I just wished I had seen the FDA warning. These treats should be pulled from the shelves immediately. What will it take? Someone’s infant to get into them and end up dead? This is just horrible and I can’t believe they are letting this go. Please do not feed these to your dog.

Waggin Train Treats killed my dog. My Golden Retriever had been to the vet in November and was given a clean bill of health. He never really had any problems and the vet commented on what good health he was in. I started feeding him these treats and within two weeks, he was dead. He started drinking large amounts of water, vomiting, very lethargic and non responsive. He also refused to eat anything, which for Jack that was a real giveaway something was wrong.

I have been reading the complaints posted here by the pet owners about this product Waggin' Train Chicken Treats for Dogs from China. We have three cocker spaniels which are 4 to 5 and they are given these treats every morning for the past several months. So far, whatever health issues they had, we never suspected about these treats. But then, after reading all these reviews here, now I doubt these products might have caused all the health issues.

I have two beagle puppies, Koda and Lola. I treat them with nothing but duck jerky and they absolutely love it and have never had a health issue. These stories made me skeptic. However, not everybody who lays in the sun is not diagnosed with skin cancer.

I have been giving my dog, Kita, who is 8 years old, Waggin' Train dog treats for the past month. Anytime I give the treats to her, she becomes very thirsty, sleepy, and often has diarrhea afterwards. I stopped giving her the treats recently and she has been a lot happier. I have noticed the diarrhea went away and she drinks her regular amount of water again.

Several years ago, unbeknownst to me, the FDA sent a warning about Waggin’ Train dog treats. I now believe both of my dogs died from eating these treats. I had always fed them Hill’s Science Diet and an occasional treat. After reading the ingredients on the package, I began giving them one Waggin’ Train chicken jerky treat every few days. They loved them. I wish I had seen the FDA warning. Just today, I have read story after story of people losing their beloved pets from what they believe was a result of the Waggin’ Train treat. These treats should be banned!

I have been feeding my dog (a 13-lb Chavachon) Waggin' Train Chicken Treats since she was a pup. She gets 1 every night. Never had a problem. She loves them!

My dogs are very sick from Waggin’ Train Chicken Jerky treats. I just found out about this recall. My boxer and chocolate lab are very sick. I don't know what else to do for them. I don't buy these kinds of treats. They were free with our bags of Beneful dog food bags. This pisses me off so bad. I don't have the money to take 2 dogs to the vet. I have a family to support, and I want to know what you all are going to do about this mess, before my dogs die. I just can't believe this is happening. I want a phone call to tell me what you’re going to do. I have a 1 and 3 year old, and if these dogs die because of this, it’s not going to be pretty. How could you let this kill over 700 dogs before you did something? I will never trust anything from your company ever again.

I have read all the complaints regarding the Waggin Train treats and have stopped giving them to my dogs too. I was noticing problems, but thankfully no real health problems (so far anyway). Why are these still allowed to be sold here? I have even gone to pet stores and found a lot of made in China products on their shelves as well. I have found some made in the USA products. Please boycott all these made in China products and please read the labels carefully.

We gave our dogs Waggin' Train treats. One of our dogs was a hog and stole from the rest. He messed his bed, became lethargic and was extremely thirsty. He got a lot worse and just laid in front of the water bowl. There, he died.

I also have a 3-year-old Shih-Tzu, and my brother has a 3-year-old Victorian Bulldog. He bought a bag of the treats (Waggin Train Chicken Jerky) for his dog and gave some to me for my dog, because we share treats at times. When I came home, I gave one to my Shih-Tzu; and almost immediately, she started to make gagging noises like she had swallowed a piece that wasn't chewed to well. I took it from her right away. It just so happened that the next morning, I saw the recall on the news about numerous dogs dying and getting horribly sick off these treats.

It's not just the Chicken Jerky variety that is affecting pets. It is pretty much any treat made by Waggin' Train. I fed my Border Collie one strip of "duck jerky" about a month ago. She had one night of severe diarrhea and a few days of no appetite after that but I never made the connection. Just a few days ago, I gave her another strip (and these pieces are small). I woke up to massive amounts of diarrhea all over my kitchen and, again, she had no appetite for several days. I am just so glad I happened to hear about these treats on the news before I gave her another one. I really hope there has been no permanent damage done! I love my dog!! She seems to be back to normal now, is eating and drinking again. I will not be buying treats at the store again.

It's Tuesday, May 8, 2012, now at 1:20pm on here! I was on the phone with Jamie today. I had given my dog Kofi (Blue Weimaraner) some of these treats - Waggin' Train Wholesome Chicken Jerky Tenders. I really don't buy any treats for our dogs due to they are large dogs and the cost of the treats. My husband was at Sam's and bought them on Saturday, May 5, 2012 (morning, EST). We thought it's real chicken, and we are very careful on what we give our dogs.

On 2/24/2011, my 5-year old German Shepherd dog Floyd passed away an agonizing death. My first dog, gone. A week after he passed, a friend of mine alerted me of dog treats Nestle Purina Waggin Train chicken jerky have killed 700+ dogs all over the world. Kidney failure killed my dog and that's what these treats are causing to other dogs. Immediately, a knife went through my heart. I fed Floyd those for 4 months before he died. I have done a lot of research and have found that indeed they do cause death. I strongly believe they killed my dog.

About a year ago, I saw the Waggin Train treats in Sam's and decided to purchase for my precious dog Turbo. I started giving him one a day, and he loved them. A few months went by and I took him to the vet for a routine procedure and was notified that there seemed to be something wrong with his bloodwork and they wanted to run more tests.

I purchased Waggin' Treats for my puppy and after the first time he ate them, he was vomiting like crazy, was acting mushy, and was drinking a lot of water.

I bought the Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats to give to my Pomeranian and dachshund, and so far, I haven't had any problems with them and they have eaten the whole bag in about 3 days. Now, after reading these stories, I am constantly watching my dogs to show signs of distress. I am hoping and praying that nothing goes wrong with them, as the dachshund already has issues with his stomach and such and the Pomeranian is an older dog anyway. And I thought I was buying something that was all natural and supposedly good for them. I guess I was severely wrong! I guess now I have nothing left to do but wait and see if my babies are going to be okay after eating this product.

I am interested in filing a class action lawsuit. My dog became severely ill after consuming Waggin Train Treats, two strips the first day at separate intervals. She weighs 33 lbs. A few hours after consumption, she had symptoms of being sick: stomach gurgling, eating grass, drinking lots of water. At first, I thought it must be the treats. Only change in her diet.

I have been given the Waggin Train chicken treats that came in the Beneful bags for over a month. My 2 dogs, one pitbull/boxer 2 years old and a boxer/mastiff 3 years old, got severely ill with the dehydration, lethargic and bloody diarrhea. It continued for over a period of one month. It was very, very messy to have to clean up all day. I even switched their dog food twice thinking it was their dog food or maybe they had gotten into something. I happened to be online one day and read a story on how Waggin Train was making a lot of dogs very sick and/or dying. How very sad that I made my 2 dogs suffer for over a month not thinking it could be their treats.

Our healthy 3-year old dog, Aja, became sick with diarrhea on April 13th. We kept an eye on her for a few days but then noticed blood in her stool on April 16th so we took her to the emergency vet. They took x-rays to check for any obstructions (none) and did blood work that showed she was dehydrated. She was given a subcutaneous fluid injection for the dehydration, medication for the diarrhea and a diet of chicken or lean beef with rice for the next three days. We then noticed a few days later that she was having some leakage when sleeping (not urine), so I was googling the subcutaneous fluids when I saw the link for this website. I was in shock. I had just bought a bag of the "Yam Good" treats (yams wrapped with chicken) two weeks prior. She only had 2 treats in a two week time frame (one a week for two weeks), one of which was right before this instance of diarrhea.

We have a sick puppy from chicken/duck jerky treats. Our mini Yorkie is not even 2 years old and for the last 8-9 months, she has declined severely health-wise. She is lethargic all the time. She can't play for more than a couple of seconds before she starts gagging. And a couple of months ago, we had to take her to the vet on an emergency visit due to her not eating, drinking, going to the bathroom, etc. She had to be put on IV fluids immediately due to dehydration. She was shaking, cold, and couldn't stay awake. We were terrified that we were going to lose her then. They sent her home on antibiotics and rice diet. We had to slowly introduce food back to her, but it was almost a week before she really showed any improvement in her appetite.

I gave both my dogs Waggin Train pork skin bones with chicken liver center before I left for work. When I got home from work, there was diarrhea all over my house! Both of my dogs were very sick, and I got them to the vet on Thursday. He started them on antibiotics and prescription canned dog food, and the diarrhea stopped shortly after. I then read all of these horrible reviews on how many people have lost their companions after these products. I am horrified and doing everything I can to make everyone aware. I wish I knew about this when I bought them. I can't even believe stores still carry them on their shelf.

I have been feeding my dog these treats for about 4+ years now. Since I began, he has had bloody vomit, excessive thirst and urination, lethargy, seizures, loss of appetite and massive hair loss. Recently, I became aware of other complaints by other pet owners of pets being sick with similar symptoms and some dying. Accordingly, the FDA has not issued a recall as the culprit (toxin) in these treats has not been identified yet. My dog is still alive. I stopped these treats over three weeks ago; however, the permanent damage this has done to him will be determined by my vet. I am appalled that this company is well aware of this issue and has done nothing but imply that pet owners overfed their pets. This is not right. Something has to be done and Waggin Train needs to be held accountable for these sick, dying and dead pets.

I started feeding all five of our dogs these Waggin Train Chicken jerky treats. My Ziggy became ill on 04/05 /12. We took him to the vet the very next morning due to severe bloody stools and his mouth has very thick saliva. They took him and proceeded to our understanding on fluids and catheterized him to help his kidneys but he passed away on the 7th of April very early in the morning. On Monday morning, another one of our pom started getting ill by vomiting so we rushed him to the vet's and they put him in ICU. After three days, we brought him home weak but okay. I believe these treats are the reason all the symptoms are the same. We took Bearbear to a different vet. We were scared and they gave him no fluids.

On March 12th, we lost our beloved Saint Bernard. She was part of our family for many years. We gave her Waggin Train treats i.e. Chicken jerky. She was a big girl and would toss her goodies and roll on them until she was ready to eat them. I gave her one on Sunday, March 11th, and she died on that Monday, March 12th. I am not sure if the cause of her death was from these treats but, it sounds like a lot of people are having problems with their dogs while eating or after eating these treats. No worries now because I will never buy these again!

Our beloved Pom just passed away as a result of kidney problems. She was given the Waggin’ Train chicken treats for years. If I had known of the problems with these, we would never have given them to her. We are very angry and hurt at the loss of our baby girl - we will never use Waggin’ Train treats or, for that matter, any of your products.

I gave these treats (Yam wraps and chicken treats) to my dog daily thinking it was all natural food. I notice my shitzu drinking lots of water, not eating much, and urinating (sometimes with signs of blood), a lot more than usual, now that I have read all the symptoms of everybody else's. I guess I never paid attention before. She developed a bump on her back which I'm not sure if it is related or not but I'm leaning towards it is. The bump was removed awhile ago. As of today, I will no longer give her these treats. I hope she will be better.

My puppy had been eating Waggin’ Train Chik’n Biscuits treats when I first heard the horror stories about these treats. I stopped giving them to him immediately but it was too late. He had already been getting sick and we were puzzled and figured it was these treats but that he'd be okay if we stopped them. He just continued to get worse. He has recovered after 2 weeks of being very ill, and had to have lots of medication and treatment. He now has some permanent kidney and liver damage and will be prone to liver and/or kidney failure as an adult dog. It sickens me that these treats are still sitting on the shelves of our local retailers!

My Chihuahua recently started acting strange. She looked like she didn't feel well. So today, I took her into the vet to be looked at. At one point when the girl was asking me questions about what I thought was wrong, the topic came up about was she eating. I said I think so and every night when I come home, I give them one of those supposedly all natural chicken jerky treats. She said, “It isn't the Waggin’ Train is it?” I said, “Yeah, why?” She said the Waggin Train treats have been poisoning the dogs and all the vets have been getting dogs in with these symptoms. At one time, they were recalled but then the FDA approved them to continue sales.

These treats made my Pit bull Bodhi so sick. Pits are an extremely hearty breed, but these treats brought him to his knees. I noticed within hours of feeding him these treats, that he started having diarrhea. I could not figure out at first what was causing it, I thought he must have eaten something crazy, but would not have thought it was his "treats" that were making him sick, but I stopped feeding him the treats right away because I didn't know what it was that was making him sick, so I made sure to only feed him his regular dog food mixed with rice to try and get him back to normal.

My friend posted a picture of their bags on FB and said not to give these to your dogs because they are causing kidney/renal failure. I am livid and I’m off to the vet tomorrow with my precious 3-year old Yorkie to see if I have poisoned my own dog as I noticed her becoming lethargic and drinking a lot of water. The United States of America farms out everything to other countries and they are not telling what they put in these products. I want this off the shelves. I spent 35 minutes after work in the pet aisle reading everything on the back and found 2 products that were actually made in the US. I am now going to give my dog nothing except what is homemade by me. If my Yorkie is ill, someone is going to pay!

I am so entirely sickened that this company is still in business with all of the illnesses and deaths that have been caused by the treats made by you monsters! My Boston was lethargic, throwing up, drinking more, etc. when I gave her these treats until I read up on the brand and found out they were slowly poisoning her to her death! Thank the Lord it hadn't been long term or irreversible damage. Thank you everyone for sharing your grief and pet loss and raising awareness on this horrible company. I plan to tell every single person I meet with a pet about this and every person I see scanning the dog treat section what product to avoid if they want their pet to be healthy!

About a month ago, I noticed my female Akita, Bryn, was having difficulty breathing and was drinking very large amounts of water and was urinating so often. She sometimes didn't make it outside before she had to go. She was lethargic, and, for several days, would not finish her food. So, I took her to the vet. Several tests were run, antibiotics were given, and a follow up would be done the next day for more tests. Initial diagnosis was kidney failure.

I’ve been reading a lot about Waggin’ Train because of a link on Facebook. About a year ago, I had a Boston terrier, got her as soon as she stopped drinking milk and she was very healthy. At about 1 year old, she was big enough to feed her treats. About a week after feeding her chicken jerky in pieces throughout the day, maybe twice a day she started having seizures, peeing on herself while sleeping and vomiting all in one day. I took her to the vet and they said she was fine. Still worried, I kept a close eye on her, still feeding her the treats, not even realizing that that was it.

I fed my Shih Tzu dog Waggin’ treats over 2 days. She started coughing and drinking large amounts of water and was rapidly breathing. She was found to have fluid in her chest that had to be drained, high liver enzymes, high phosphate, bun, and declined kidney function. There is blood in her intestinal tract. She died today because of respiratory failure. She was fine until after these treats. I am sad to see so many complaints being ignored.

I truly am sorry for what has happened to your dogs. I have been giving these to my dogs for years and they have had no ill effects. Now I am asking in all sincerity, how do you know it was these snacks that hurt your dogs? I am alarmed, but I have run across far more people that gave these to their dogs with no ill effects, than I have folks that had dogs that were affected negatively by these snacks.

I too have purchased several bags of treats made by the same company. Like some others, I believed that because it was a company of United States, that it would be safe. I have two yorkies, the female had the same symptoms as what has been reported. She had the bloody stools, that smelled horrific, and the vomiting. The vet tested to make sure it wasn't parvo because of the symptoms. She was given antibiotics and they weren't sure what had caused it. They suggested that she might have ulcerative colitis. So I have been giving these treats every once in a while with same results. My son is the one that brought my attention to this site. Thank goodness he did, no telling how long I would have been poisoning my dogs.

My healthy 5 year old Maltese/Bichon was given Chik'n Biscuits and Yams wrapped with chicken both Waggin’ Train products. In January 2012, he started vomiting, urinating and drinking a lot of water. I took him to the vet who gave him meds to stop the vomiting and meds to help him want to eat. They took blood and urine samples and his protein levels were very high and he was diagnosed with kidney failure and his enzymes were also high.

My dog Fiona, a beautiful Boston Terrier, became sick 2 weeks ago. She had seizures. On Sunday morning, one happened and then the vomiting started. Then by Monday, she was so dehydrated that I was frightened. I took her to the vet and they believed that she had an infection in her pancreas. After IVs, meds and $1300, she seemed to be on the mend. What happened to her? I personally believe it was the treats that caused it. When I went onto their website, the best they could do was to offer you suggestions on how many to give your dog. Well guess what? I never made a meal of the treats. They were exactly that, a treat.

My son Jake, a Labradoodle, got a sore on his tail on Wednesday March 14, 2012. I took him to the vet for treatment and they did a CBC and discovered that he had no platelets. He said it was an auto immune disease and we treated him initially with prednisone and doxycycline. On Thursday, March 15, 2012, Jake threw up blood three times! I rushed him to the vet and they gave him nausea medication and sent us home. Jake was lethargic and did not eat or drink or pee for 3 days! We went back to the vet on March 17 and did another CBC. He discovered that not only did Jake not have platelets but also hardly any RBCs.

I bought the Waggin’ Train chicken breast treats at Sam’s. They were about $16. I thought I was buying a healthy treat since it had no by-products. At the age of 4 1/2 months and weight of 30 pounds, I gave my Weimaraner 1/2 of one treat. I noticed his stools were loose and odd the next day, so I figured he had not chewed it well and decided to wait until his teeth were developed. Now, at the age of 6 months and weight of 50 pounds, I fed him 2 treats at night. The next day he slept a lot and the following day he was vomiting, shaking, and had diarrhea with blood. He was peeing a lot and not eating nor drinking. Right away, I took him to the vet and they diagnosed giardia, gave him metronidazole and amoxicillin for 7 days. With home made baby food and lots of love, he recovered. I hate myself for feeding him poison and now I worried that this is not out of his system. Please be careful in not feeding your dog these treats. The FDA needs to do something!

Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats - Our dog was a perfectly healthy border collie and in less than a week, she was vomiting blood and had bloody diarrhea. She was very lethargic and unresponsive and drooling. I took her to the animal hospital ER and they admitted her immediately. They conducted many tests that showed her liver was enlarged and abnormal so they performed an ultrasound/biopsy.

My 12 year old dog died with all the symptoms that I found on the complaint website for Waggin’ Train Dog treats. I didn't know until today that this was the reason. He had been slowing down and his right leg was bad, but otherwise a happy dog. Then his urine turned to a very dark yellow/orange color, he started having difficulty in breathing, was lethargic and within 3 weeks of purchasing the Waggin’ Train treats he was dead... criminal.

For the past 3 weeks, I'm trying to find out how my dog Sandy's health went downhill so fast. She died after the bloody stools, everyday with meds from the vet. Something triggered the auto-immune sickness she had around the holidays. She would run to wake me up at 3AM to go out for a treat, I would walk her for a half mile everyday in the summer. Tomorrow, we will have the Waggin Train drummets tested by AGR and Marketing. I've only seen one other lady here had sick dogs from the drummets, I hope they made it. This happened so fast, even after blood transfusion.

I have been purchasing these treats for my 5 year old Shi Tzu Chandler. For 4 years, I have been giving him one treat a day. 4 months ago, I noticed him drinking excess amounts of water and also losing weight. I took him to the vet and found out he was diagnosed with kidney failure. After one month of force feeding him and trying holistic medication, he was put to sleep on New Year’s Day.

1 year and 8 months ago, I gave Abbey, my precious Lakeland terrier, Waggin Train Jerky Treats (the duck flavor as she was allergic to chicken). I purchased it from Wal-Mart. I was leaving for the day, so I left some out for her. I came home that evening, and she was lethargic. She was having massive bloody diarrhea. She was treated with antibiotics and meds for nausea and diarrhea. She seemed to recover. I googled and found all the people writing about the Waggin Train Treats that had made their dogs ill.

I was buying these treats for my pup for a few months and he loved them. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess, because he never got sick. When I got my puppy, I swore to never feed him anything made in China because of all the recalls in the past years. I check every label. When I checked the Waggin' Train label (I did not have my reading glasses on), I saw in big letters “made” and then either “North” or “South Carolina”. I didn't notice the small "for" in between “made” and “Carolina”. One day, my 12-year old looked at the package and said, "Mom, these are made in China.”

I just lost my sweet Yorkie to kidney failure yesterday after $2900 in vet bills to try and save her. I was told about this problem with the treats last night. We had purchased a bag of Waggin Train Treats from Costco and had been giving them to her. I am heartbroken. This must be stopped!

We purchased these dog treats at Meijer in Madison Heights, Michigan on the first week of March and have been giving them to our 7-month-old jack rat terrier. On March 20, he went into kidney failure and nearly died. $870 later in vet bills and still being treated, we are thankful to have caught it in time. He acted like he was toxic, swaying like a drunken sailor and couldn't even stand up. I brought him to the vet, and his BUN and creatinine were both elevated. His body temperature was low, and he was in renal failure. Do not feed these to your pets!

I've fed these to both of my Shih Tzus for years. They seemed like the perfect treat, chicken wrapped around a fruit or vegetable or a flavored biscuit. A year and a half ago, my beloved Shih Tzu Louie went from perfectly healthy to dead in 5 days. We blamed it on pancreatitis and figured since he was 9 years old, his body just failed him. We never had a clue about these treats. I noticed recently that Shih Tzu #2, who eats two of these each day is unable to eat much. He has become real picky about his food and I mentioned to my husband he acts like he was poisoned. I stopped buying canned food and started making my own with turkey, rice, oats vegetables and fruits. He usually loves this, but hasn't eaten for the last three days.

I got these in a large bag of dog food as a free sample. I never heard of them or seen them before then. I gave these to my 68 lb pit bull/German shepherd mix for about a week straight, I’d say 2 or 3 a day and he loved them. But he loved dog treats in general a lot.

My beloved Dollymay had to be put down because of kidney failure. I have discovered that she is not the only one. I can understand if it was only a handful of cases but I don't think that there is a computer in the whole world that can hold the data of how many pets have gotten sick or have died. The FDA needs to hire someone that loves pets and understand the hurt we owners are going through then maybe they will ban them and save other pet so their owners won't have to go through what I and many, many others have.

I bought a chicken jerky as a Christmas treat for our dog. By New Year's Eve, our dog was dead due to kidney failure.

These Waggin Train Chicken treats were on sale at a local chain store. I bought them and gave my dogs two a piece before a good friend told me to stop and that some animals had passed. The second night, they both started throwing up! This product needs to be recalled and the company needs to take responsibility.

We have lost both our dogs in the last two weeks. I never heard about this problem with the Waggin Train Jerky Treats until today. They both had all the problems and the vet gave them IV, Antibiotics for days but nothing was helping. Why must we wait until more dogs that are loved as family members pass away? It has been the hardest two weeks I have every spent. Not sure if we can do anything about this. We need to get this off the market and stop buying from China. If this is what they are doing to our pets, then just think what they are doing to us!

My precious Corgi died this morning from kidney failure. He had eaten Waggin Train Chicken Jerky treats in the morning and at night, as they were his favorite. He began vomiting and was extremely thirsty. His body began to shake and shiver and he was panting excessively. We took him to the vet where he was put on an IV, given antibiotics and pain medication but there was nothing that could be done to save him. Our hearts are broken as we have lost a lovable member of our family. I am angry because these treats should have been taken off the market a long time ago. Maybe our dog would still be alive.

Waggin Train Lot #J4CA3760A - Our 10 year old Shih Tzu has been eating Waggin Train for a couple of years. I was having a problem finding the "chew sticks" (chicken wrapped), so I picked up the Jerky Tenders. She became very ill! Never in ten years has she had diarrhea so extreme, including fever of 105. She was placed on special dog food and antibiotics. Please look into this matter! The back of the bag states "made in China".

We have been giving our dogs Wagon Train chicken jerky for a few weeks. They loved them. Well, our 9-year old had torn a ligament in her back knee and had surgery. After she came home, she would not eat and drink a little and laid around a lot. So we took her back to the vet and he found her kidney numbers were 10 times normal and was starting to go into kidney failure. He didn’t know why until he checked the internet and asked what treats. We told him and he said that these have caused kidney failure and death in dogs. We had him set up an IV and had it run for 3 days. Her numbers came down and we brought her home. Right now, she seems better, but he wants to check her out periodically. We all believe the treats were doing this and didn’t they’re know made in China. We will never buy these again and will tell everyone with a dog to stay away. Hopefully, she will recover.

After wondering why our dog was getting so sick, I started hearing about the Waggin Train Jerky Treats. I checked in her box of different treats and discovered that I have an almost empty bag of Waggin Train Jerky Tenders! I am so upset and broken hearted because my dog is dying! She is dying! Our sweet girl is dying because of this poison! I still have the bag and will keep it to prove that it is the reason she is dying!

I fed my 4 year old golden retriever, Chance these Waggin' Train Chicken Treats. On January 2, he threw up many times. I took him to vet and week later, he threw up many times. I took him to vet and liver enzymes were off the chart. He would not eat any dog food. I fed him a liver diet, potatoes, sweet potatoes, chicken, etc. he got lethargic then jaundice. I kept giving him fluids but his breathing became labored. He passed away 5 weeks later on February 9th. It breaks my heart to know I was giving treats to my dog that killed him.

These dog treats killed my dog BJ on 3/4/12. In small print in the back, this company touts proudly on the bag front to be American, made in China is in small print. The FDA is covering this up for some reason, not reporting the correct number of cases and their website is "losing" the reports from the site. I had to report twice, both are "missing”. They don't know what the toxin is yet, but I personally know of over 100 dogs killed this year alone! Do not but any jerky treats because they might be processed in China, but packaged in the USA. Dehydrate your own or find another dog treat. Read labels! I learned too late.

I have been buying my dog Milo's Kitchen, thinking it was a great treat for a dog because it is natural and doesn't have added artificial ingredients in it. I recently saw an article in MSNBC stating that Milo's Kitchen, along with Waggin’ Trains, is causing many dogs to have kidney failure and die.

I gave my Shih Tzu a Waggin Train Big Blast Treat yesterday and this morning she was very sick. She trembled and cried for over an hour. When I called the complaint hotline, they acted like it was no big deal after I mentioned the possible recall from November. She also tried accusing me of supplementing her treat for regular dog food. It wasn't until I mentioned how sick she was and the fact that she had a vet appointment that I was taken seriously. I was then offered coupons for other products. I am taking the unopened package that I have back to the store and will never again buy a Waggin Train product. Please answer me this. Why would I want coupons for a product that I never again will be giving to my dogs? And why would I buy a product that could potentially get them sick or kill them? I’m very disappointed. I will spread the word and already have.

I want to know why Jerky Treats is claiming they are made in the US. It's been brought to my attention that some of the ingredients are from China. My vet said to avoid all China made pet products. Had I known, I never would have been buying these treats!

My dog is very sick and we cannot seem to get her over it. She has been eating Jerky treats (chicken) from your company for several years. What should I do or tell my vet? This upsets me greatly as we are old and are very close to her.

I have 3 Mexican mutts that I rescued from the streets of Baja. All of them are Shepherd mixed breeds from 60 to 90 lbs. Each dog eats 6 Waggin Train Chicken Jerky treats per day and has done so for several years with no ill effects. They love the stuff and will do all sorts of tricks to receive their treats. Perhaps the reason that no link can be found between these treats and the illnesses reported by other pet owners is that there is no link! I'm 100% satisfied that these are wonderful treats for my dogs and will continue buying them despite the steep price.

I bought a 30 oz. bag of Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky Tenders. I feed my 2 Chihuahuas the treats for 4 days. After 4 days, both dogs started passing blood through their bowls. One dog started vomiting blood to. I had to take it to the vet. I showed him the treats I had been feeding the dogs. He checked the product (Waggin' Train) dog treats on the internet. He found 300 and some complaints where people had made. The complaints range from dogs passing blood through their bowls and vomiting up blood to liver failure and some of their dogs dying. I think this product should be taken off the market before killing any more family dogs.

Everyone, beware! Our dog Brit has not been herself for about a month! She and my husband would always go for a long walk/run and hunt everyday. Like clock work, she would pester my husband to go. Lately, all she does is sleep and refuses to go on a walk. She will only go down one house and turn around, go home and sleep. She has also not been eating very well. Her favorite thing has been her Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky Treats. She has been at the vet the last few days. Our Vet has been trying to figure out what is wrong with Brit. First thought it was arthritis, but no. We thought perhaps it was a heart problem. Her heart does show that it is enlarged so she had an ultrasound today. Enlarged heart, but all is working fine.

Please take these off of the market. Why sell something that might kill a pet? My dog was a healthy lab/greyhound mix--with normal weight, active, happy, and had a good appetite. My husband began giving him a Waggin' Train dog treat after their daily walks. He became lethargic. The dog didn't want to go on walks anymore. He lost his appetite and his breathing became labored. I drove him to the vet in a snow storm. The vet was not specific as to what was wrong with him. His lab work did not show up as normal. He vomited blood and within a few days, we had to put him to sleep because he was no longer eating and could hardly breathe. A family member was put out of his misery due to something that was supposed to be considered a safe product--a dog "treat." Please feel free to contact me regarding this issue.

I bought Waggin' Train Chik'n Biscuit dog treats on 2/16/12 and fed one treat to each of my dogs. My larger dog was the first one sick, he threw up and was off his feed for the entire next day. My 16 week old pup was violently ill all day. They both recovered and I had not made the connection to the dog treat at this time, thus feeding them both a treat again on 2/20/2012. Again, my older dog was refusing food for the day, and my Kuroi became very sick again. This time, however, she did not recover and died five days later after suffering.

I gave my dog a treat from a brand new bag of Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky Treats. Archer was given a treat (1) of the Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky. He began not eating and was just laying around. He started laying down, panting, and started writhing around on his side in circles. He continued for 15 to 20 minutes. His front leg twitched. He vomited several times during the night and had a soft unformed bowel movement. When I took him in to the vet, he was refusing water.

I bought both Waggin Train and Canyon Creek chicken jerky treats. I did now realize they were from China or the problem with treats from China. One of my dogs became very ill—vomiting and diarrhea for 5 days. Only by chicken jerky from American companies now and they sure are hard to find--and expensive! But I don't care, I want a healthy baby! Now the one that was sick has a urinary infection. I'm just hoping it's nothing worse from having been sick.

My dog is now suffering from liver failure very possibly from these treats. She has not been fed an overdose. She had about 3-4 a day of them. She was 55 lbs. and her weight has dropped to 46.5 lbs. as of today. She became ill 3+ weeks ago with fever, lethargy and weight loss. We finally got a diagnosis of liver disease when a CBC was done and showed all elevated liver enzyme levels. It is too early to know her prognosis because we do not know the extent of the liver damage. She has been in the hospital since Friday on IV fluids and Flagyl. My vet bill for this will be about $2,000. I was heartsick when I saw all the online chatter about how people suspect this product as the cause of serious illness and/or death in their pets. The vet has advised me not to give her this "treat" any longer.

I am proud to say all of my dogs are second-hand dogs and they are my world. Riley was a completely healthy 9-year-old lhasa apso. Riley was stubbornly sweet and loving. He was very active and always on guard, and had to take a victory lap around the yard after every potty break. Riley had so much energy he needed direction and I took him to obedience classes. Riley earned a Canine Good Citizen diploma. Riley had a 9-year-old sister Chloe, she is a shih tzu. Riley immediately fell in love with Chloe and made her his puppy. She never had a mother and truly needed his love. We also have a 3-year-old 3 lb. Chihuahua named Bambi.

I purchased a pack of these treats from a CVS in Jacksonville, AL. On February 23, 2012, I gave one (1) chew to my Yorkie & Chihuahua mix dog (both under 10lbs) that evening. Within 24-48 hrs both dogs became ill. The Yorkie has been panting almost continuously and drinking water as though dehydrated since, the Chihuahua mix started whimpering off and on as in pain (2/24), and both dogs have diarrhea (started 2/24).

My dog Sally is in the hospital this weekend fighting for her life due to liver failure. Her prognosis is still unknown. She had been sick for 3 weeks before we finally got her diagnosis of liver disease due to elevated liver enzymes. She was otherwise a happy and very healthy and energetic dog. Her weight dropped 6 lbs in 3 weeks before she was admitted yesterday. She has been eating these treats every day, 3 per day for a 55 lb dog. Not an overdose! I am heartsick to think I was very likely giving her something that was a toxin. I take extremely good care of her.

My dog became very ill, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in the stools. This product still is on the shelves and the company knows the problem. How dare they ignore this nightmare? Never buy a Canyon Creek Ranch!

On January 26, 2012, our 3 1/2-year-old Beagle mix became deathly ill after consuming Canyon Creek Ranch Duck Tenders. On January 27, 2012, we took her to our vet because of an extremely high fever; she was lethargic, she was drinking a lot of water, she was unable to sleep at night because she had to either drink or pee a lot, she refused to eat, she was shivering, and she was dehydrating. Blood test results revealed elevated liver enzymes, a fever of an unknown origin, and low BUN. Our dog was given 2 antibiotic meds, subcutaneous fluids, and instructions to return or take her to emergency clinic if symptoms worsened. A leptospirosis titer was ordered which later came back negative.

All I know is that I have a dead 6 yr old Bichon Frise. She died Jan 24, 2012. She was throwing up and I took her to the vet and she has jaundice already. Her liver numbers were off the charts. She was hospitalized for 8 days. They did a biopsy on her liver and it was definitely a toxin, maybe aflatoxin. 90% of her liver was gone. It hit her very hard. My vet grew a culture of her gallbladder and it showed E.coli and Staph. She never got anything but her dog food. I never fed her treats or food from the table. But we did visit a friend and she said she gave her a Waggin Train Chicken Jerky. I have a $4,300.00 vet bill and no dog to show for it. I miss my little girl. I am so sorry, Holly.

My dog could not breathe after eating the treat and now has had major vet bills. His gallbladder is enlarged, liver enzymes high and will not eat. He also started going into jaundice. I have a huge vet bill over this and want these items pulled, and my bills and loss of work compensated.

After giving my son's dog Waggin Train Chicken Jerky approximately 4 "treats" over a 4-5 day period, she developed liver failure, was hospitalized for several days, and died yesterday. My son & his girlfriend are devastated, and I feel responsible as I am the one who fed it to her. Please help us get this off the shelves. How many more animals have to die before someone does the right thing?

Your product came with a box of dog food I purchased. I gave a couple treats to my three year old and 15 year old dogs. They both became violently ill vomiting, and diarrhea. After that, they became lethargic and would not eat and would not drink. I had to force feed them both and incurred a very costly vet bill after this went on for 2 days. Thank goodness, they both recovered; however, my older dog who had no health problems other than arthritis is now displaying signs of kidney failure. I think this is disgusting that your company has a blatant disregard for the lives of our pets. I was shocked to find out other dogs had fallen ill, even died due to this product and this company ought to be ashamed of yourself.

About a year and a half ago, I begged Wal-Mart to pull these jerky treats of the shelves because they made my pugs deathly ill, but no one listened. Well I guess they are now. I told you they were like poison but the FDA would not put a stop to it so I’m not sure what to do but I hope everyone sues this company and that will stop the import from China. These treats were like poison. The news media, FDA or this company would not stop but I tried on my own now maybe someone will listen. Spread the word, not everybody has a computer or takes the paper.

On November 2011, I fed my registered 9 month old, long haired Chihuaua, Brewster 5 Wagging Train chew sticks over a 3 day period. He became lethargic, wouldn't urinate or drink. First vet visit believed he couldn't pass something. He was given him Milk of Magnesia and shot. On 2nd visit, he was in shock and euthanized after body temp dropped with no chance of recovery. Autopsy revealed nothing lodged but interior bruising and swelling of major organs. Vet stated it could have been the treats, but had not received a warning of recall. Since then, the same vet states there are other cases of euthanized over these same treats. I thought I was rewarding my sweet baby by gifting him a special snack.

I fed my dog Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Treats, she trembled all over and threw up. This happened twice, on 2 separate occasions, before I realized it was the Jerky treats. She and my other dog both were suffering with loose stools. This product needs to be recalled.

Waggin Train treats were the only brand I fed my dogs, especially the chicken jerky. I lost my 15-year old Shellbie in December 2010. She had developed severe diarrhea, vomiting, and urination. Before we could get her to the emergency vet, which is an hour away, she went into seizures and passed away. My little Annie also got very sick one evening. She also had severe vomiting, diarrhea, was lethargic and I could tell she was very afraid. Got her to the vet in the morning and blood tests revealed high liver enzymes. She seems to be Ok for now but needs to go back for more blood work.

My 7 year old Chow mix was given one and only one of these deadly treats on November 18, 2011. He died on December 1, 2011. This crap needs to be banned and destroyed!

We received a bag of these treats inside of a large bag of Purina Dog Chow purchased at Walmart in Amite. I would feel differently about these treats if it was only a certain lot of treats, however, it's not. Various bags from across the US are tainted and Waggin Train is all but admitting fault. I have audio of a conversation stating this. You are welcomed to check out our Facebook page, Animal Parents Against Pet Treats Made In China! And also Waggin Trains site for more victims!

Bella was a healthy 2-year-old dog up until the night of 11/13 and14/11 when she began vomiting, having diarrhea, and quivering. She could not keep any food or water down and would vomit it up right away. After 2 days of trying to eat, she then refused all food on Wednesday. She kept trying to drink but could not keep water down either.

Our four-year old German Shepherd has started getting sick after eating the chicken jerky treats and possibly the duck treats. I, after hearing something on the new tonight, will stop using the Wagon Train products. I am so lucky and I am sorry the losses I have read about on this site. The packaging is misleading as it shows a US location on the right and on the left side of the package it shows made in China.

My dearly beloved best friend of six years died five days after eating some of these treats. She loved them and I betrayed her by poisoning her with treats from a thoughtless company. I will inform all my pet owner friends to never buy your treats for their pets.

I purchased the Waggin' Train Chicken sticks in November of 2011. They were too hard for our 16-year old Pekingese to chew, so only our six and a half year old Yorkie ate them. I only broke off small pieces for him, never a whole treat at once. Two days after Thanksgiving, he suddenly became ill. I took him to the vet immediately. His blood work showed his kidneys were failing and he was still vomiting, and was in terrible pain. For a week, he was on an IV at the vet's clinic. I also took him to another hospital for an ultrasound because my vet isn't equipped. It took a day to realize what made him sick because it was the only thing he ate that our other dog hadn't. I asked my vet to check the product but they couldn't find a recall.

Both of my 13-year old healthy Alaskan malamute/husky mix suddenly developed lethargy, vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss over 2 weeks. The female's BUN/Cr (kidney function tests) were sky high, the male's were moderately but seriously elevated. I racked my brain if they had eaten poison or had leptospirosis. Then I read online about the Waggin Train chicken treats and realized I had bought them these one wk before this started happening on 12/1/2011. After $4000 in vet bills, lost work at my new job, ruined holidays and still giving them subcut fluids, antibiotics, antiemetics and appetite stimulants at home, they seem to be recuperating. I am still very worried about chronic kidney issues.
