In 2013 the FDA announced a serious dog food warning that as of September 24, 2013 the FDA has received more than 3,000 complaints of pet illness related to consumption of chicken, duck, or sweet potato jerky treats, nearly all of which are imported from China. The reports involves more than 3,600 dogs and includes more than 580 deaths. This is absolutely horrible!

Apparently, some of the name brands include Nestle Purina PetCare Co.’s Waggin Train and Canyon Creek Ranch treats and Del Monte Corp.’s Milo’s Kitchen Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers home-style dog treats.
