I am sick to death of all the contradictions in the animal food business. I wish someone would overhaul the FDA so they would be more efficient and that all the testing would be done before the products are put up for sale.
I have been giving my brittany 2 to 4 strips of the Kingdom Pets chicken jerky for nearly 3 weeks and haven’t noticed any problems, but after reading these comments, I will take them off her list.
My heart goes out to those who lost their pets - this should never happen.
I seldom shop at Walmart because of their ‘China connection’. Now I won’t ever shop there at all. And, I will make my own chicken treats for Bambi.

My beautiful lab died early this morning. I did give her the Kingdom Treats Chicken strips from Cosco as a treat daily. I couldn’t figure out why she died so I got on line only to discover, the chicken strips were under caution and were from China. I guess all this time I was poisoning my baby. Why is this allowed in the United States?

I just buried three dogs in the last three weeks. They were my best friends…If you are wise read the posts from others that lost their animals and traced the problem to chicken jerky from China…For those that think they are safe…you are being very foolish. The resulting kidney failure seems to cumulate over time…I fed my dogs the treats for about a year w/o noticing a issue but in the last few months they sstarting showing weakness…I bought from Costco which more recently switched to the Pet Kingdom brand…within a few weeks of eating this brand one dog became very ill and died…then I lost two more over the next 2 weeks..The symptoms and deaths were the same as described in the many posts ive now read. Im interested in any updates. Ive read posts from 2007…WHY are these still being sold? Bob Galvan bobgalvan@hctc.com

I have a 7 year old Shih Tzu who is the best little dog I ever have had. As of late she’s been sick, running to the vet only to be told they think she could have kidney disease. After reading every little thing on kidney disease and racking my brain on what I have done different since she got sick. I remembered a few months ago I found chicken strips from Costco and started giving them to her in place of pupperoni’s and she really loved them. All I can say is I hope it’s the chicken strips that has made her sick and not kidney disease. After reading this web site I hate myself for giving my baby the poison strips from china. They are now in the trash!!!!

I have two dogs, Lady Gator a 49 lb English Bulldog and Daisy and 26 lb mixed beagle/basset mix from the pound. I purchased Kingdom Pet Chicken jerky treats from Costco. A few days ago, one of them start peeing in the house. I took both girls to the vet yesterday (Feb 26, 2009) to get checked for a urinary infection. The next day, the vet called with the blood work results: Gators results were boarder line but Daisy was going to require medication. I told the vet that Daisy was acting strange and they asked me to being her in when I came to pick up her medication. When I got home to pick her up (taking off from work) there was vomit, feces and urine all over the house and all containing a lot of blood.
The vet did an x-ray and found nothing left in her stomach but thinks it was food poising. When asking about their food, I mentioned the chicken treats. She believes that is the culprit. Daisy was treated for dehydration and sent home with 7 different kinds of medications to start taking tomorrow when she is able to keep something down. It is Friday evening and I have cleaned up vomit containing large amounts of blood three times. I have spent over $926.00 and can only pray my babies will be OK. I am very mad that this product is still on the shelves at Costco’s and that there has been no recall as of yet.

Kingdom pet Chicken Jerky is not safe.
These chicken Jerky treats are not safe, I’ve recently bought a 3lb bag from costco and started feeding my GSD puppy them… it seemed like a good idea first, high protein, the treats were easy to store, but after about two weeks she began having bad gas and didn’t eat anything.
If this happens to your dog, try boiling chicken thighs and cooking some rice for your dog.

My 13year old chi.. had her first seizure yesterday than another today…I have been feeding her only the best in dog food including organic brand. No human scraps for her but have been feeding her five chicken strips a day over the last month and notice she has alot of bad gas and very thirsty…When our four legged children become ill today we all get on the internet looking for answers…and today after reading the above testimonals I have thrown the strips in the trash. I can only hope it changes her condition. tristen6583@aol.com

Thank you for the recipe. I am definitely going to try this. How long do they keep after you make them? Is it best to keep them in the closet warm and dry or refrigerator? Can you freeze and bring out later? What if you just got sliced chicken breast from the deli already cooked and then dried it. yes, always looking for shortcuts here. I did find two brands that are made in the USA - Bravos and Savory Prime.

Oh! and these strips are not super hard so that you have to worry about splintering like the store bought, and poking your babies.

To make your own, get lean chicken breast, cook in a pan until done. Cool, then cut into thin strips. Lay flat on a baking pan, cook in oven or toaster oven, low heat, 150 degrees for about 20 to 30 min. until dried out, pretty crispy. They will get a little harder when they cool too. Wala! All natural homemade chicken strips, made in USA in your kitchen. My dogs..great dane, white shepherd and chihuahua LOVE chicken strips!! :o)
