    Both of my dog got violently ill after eating 1 each Waggin train country style drumettes. Extreme vomiting and extreme diarrhea! I am furious this is still on the shelves at Wal-mart on Centennial Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada! I am taking them to the hospital right now!

    My two boxer dogs and one domestic shore hair cat have been eating the chicken strips for years and more recently the ham strip. They love them and have never had any intestinal or bowel issues with these products. It would be nice if the products were made in the USA as against outsourcing manufacture to China.

    I gave my dogs one Waggin Train ham jerky on Christmas Day night. I thought I'd try a new treat for them. The next morning, I gave them a Milo's Kitchen chicken jerky and my 7-year-old vomited and my 14-year-old had a seizure and never came out of it. I did not realize that both of those products are made in China. It's disgusting that they are still on the shelves getting ready to be sold and given to the next victims. I still can't believe I lost a member of our family over some dog treat made in China.

    My two Shih Tzu’s suffered extreme diarrhea, was very lethargic, and wouldn't eat or drink. An extensive and costly visit to the vet uncovered E. coli in both dogs. The E. coli was traced back to Waggin’ Train's Chicken Tenders purchased at Walmart in Warsaw, Indiana. The store was notified of the E. coli, but they did not remove the product from their shelves. My loved pooches survived this brutal illness but only because of our experienced veterinarian and God's grace. When I learned the product was produced in China, I was mortified. China does not respect animals as (most) Americans do. We love our dogs and cats; some countries eat them. Why would anyone trust China to make a quality dog treat? Can you say greed?

    My babes were very ill for one week with lasting "poo-poo" issues for much longer. Obviously, the chicken tenders were thrown out. After much research by my husband, we found dog treats made in America. Our dogs are doing fine now and seem to enjoy the taste and texture of their new treats. After reading other related stories about these Waggin’ Train products, I feel so blessed that our two dogs made a full recovery and the $250.00 we spent in vet bills pales in comparison to others who have had to spend thousands only to suffer the pain of losing their pet.

    I gave my dogs a Waggin Train Prime Cutlets Chicken treat. I then went shopping and returned to find my Pug mix, out in the backyard digging a hole in the dirt near a tree. I thought nothing of this but later on that night (3 AM), she had a blood discharge from her rear end. She then became very lethargic, and started to get cold. I immediately drove her to my vet but she died on the way. I left her with my vet who was going to perform a necropsy on her. I got home at four in the afternoon, and my Whippet mix was squirting out blood from his rear end. I immediately ran him into the local vet's office, where they thought he had eaten rat poison (not possible as I have none on the property). He was given a vitamin K-1 injection, Cerenia injection, and put on an IV.

    After an hour I brought him home and continued administering IV sub cue injections all night. The next morning, both vets called me, and said that the dogs had suffered HGE, which is a bacteria commonly caused by food. I of course promptly realized that the only different food that I had given them were these treats. After administering a whole bag of Lactated Ringers, and starting him on Clavamox tablets, the Whippet bounced back by the afternoon. However, the next day my Terrier mix started squirting blood from her rear end. She went down hill very quickly, and would not walk. I immediately started her on the IV and Clavamox and called my vet who said to bring her in, if I saw no improvement that night. I stayed up all night sub cuing her with the IV, and holding her next to me. The next morning she bounced back, and by the afternoon there was no more blood.

    Due to these treats I lost a very special dog, and almost lost two others. These treats should be recalled and destroyed! The treats came from China, and were distributed out of Anderson, South Carolina (code #07020 77835. Lot #CA756).

    My best friend, Yorkiepoo was found dead after eating Waggin Train treats. Unlike some of these consumers, they were not the chicken variety. She had eaten the beef and duck. Our vet has had over 100 dogs with symptoms and many of them have died. Wal-Mart still has the products on the shelves.

    Our 9 month old Pug ate some of these. Just out of the blue, the peppy pug became lethargic and was vomiting and having diarrhea. We thought he had a bug, so gave him a day to see if he got better. He got worse, so we took him to the vet. The vet bills came to over a thousand dollars. He had to stay for almost a week hooked up to an IV. The vet did not know if he would make it, but luckily he is back to his normal self, still with 'softer' stools weeks later. After reading this, we have thrown out all of our Waggin Treats! Please, if your dog becomes lethargic out of the blue after eating these, do not wait! Get him to the vet ASAP!

    I was giving my Anatolian Shepherd the Chicken Jerky treats sold by Waggin Train. Unfortunately, that led to the death of a 4-year-old previously healthy therapy dog. We dealt with two weeks of misery as Molley went through a dialysis type treatment to try to clear the junk out of her kidneys. A cheap bag of dog treats cost my dog her life and although an american company, the treats are produced in China.

    My dog died and I incurred significant vet bills.

    My dog, Jake, a Gordon Setter, has been eating these treats for over a year. I have to wonder if his recent weight loss and lethargic demeanor is due to these treats. I also have to wonder why Wal-Mart continues to sell this product when the complaints and concerns go back years! Thank you, Wal-Mart, for your concern!

    About two months ago my small dog became ill with vomiting and severe diarrhea. I took her to the vet and he give her antibiotics. She began to feel better, but is now vomiting and having diarrhea again, and my other dog is showing sign of very soft stools.

    I went on the computer and found the Waggin Train Chicken Jerky Tenders has been shown to produce these symptoms. I will not give my dogs any more of these and the doctor said to give my dog Pepto-Bismol for the symptoms and hopefully she will recover.

    A few months ago, I bought Waggin Train Big Blast Pork Skin Twists with Chicken Liver Content. My Lhasa Apso untwisted the twist and caught one end over a tooth and the other end was down in his throat. If he had not come to me and kept staring at me, I would not have known that he could do nothing with the twist. He would have eventually choked to death. I took the package back to Walgreens, showing the one that was untwisted and told them they should take them off their shelf. I just wrote a separate message to Waggin Train asking if they are still making this product. They should not because dogs can choke to death on it. Please let me know and let others know not to use this treat.

    I recently left my dog in the care of my neighbor, who has dogs of her own and is very responsible. When I returned from my vacation, my dog was suffering from severe diarrhea. A couple of days later, my dog sitter called and said one of her dogs was suffering the same symptoms as my dog. The only connection between the two dogs was the Waggin Train chicken dog treats that my sitter had given both dogs.

    I believe the treats are what is making both dogs sick, as neither has yet to recover and it's been a week now. I see that other people have had problems with these treats and am sickened by the thought that I may lose a close companion of over 14 years. My dog sitter has an appointment with her vet and we'll see what he says we should do. Thank you.

    In February of 2009, our dog Jakey had been eating Waggin' Train Chicken Jerky treats. There was no need to worry as the package says 97% fat free, no preservatives and all natural. He began to vomit blood and his bowels were also bloody. I rushed him to the vets at 2:00 a.m. and they immediately put him on IV and antibiotics. He pulled through after 3 days there.

    In March, he started to have stomach problems and the vets contributed it to colitis which I thought was kind of a farfetched idea. He never had stomach problems before eating these treats. In April, it was the same thing again, stomach problems, but this time he was having trouble walking up the steps, would not eat food and drank a lot of water. Still, I continued to give him Pepcid for his stomach as directed by the vet.

    In May, it was the same problem (stomach) and then on May 29, the unbearable happened. We rushed him to the vets and he had a temp of 103. He was very listless, and not responding. Later that evening, he had seizures, became unconscious and never woke up. I can now say that I am 99% sure that these Chicken Jerky treats were the cause of his death.

    Why isn't someone doing something about this problem? He is not the only one that has died and will not be the last unless something is done to stop China from processing these treats with arsenic. If these were humans that were dying, these items would be pulled off the shelves immediately. Please make people aware of the potential hazards of these treats. They are not safe.
