I had no idea the treats were tainted (from a coworker). My bad, I later noticed they were made in China and expired in mid 2008. I threw them out after he vomited (my 2nd mistake). We have isolated the problem to these treats (it only took 2). He has experienced vomiting then massive water consumption for 2 weeks, it has since tapered but blood levels for BUN/Creatine are high-normal. Ultra sound shows inflamed kidneys. There is sugar in the urine. All other blood/urine tests OK. Lepto is neg, urine culture neg, wbc and rbc is normal. Going to have a follow up and praying that the kidneys will still have some function going forward. I encourage people to use only US made treats. Going to be using Flint river for his food as well.... I just ran into problems with my 3yo corgi. I had no idea the treats were tainted (from a coworker).

He was 2 months old. On September 18th 2009 he became violently ill, threw up several times lost his appetite completely and didn't want to drink. We took him to the Hospital. They took a test and found out his kidneys did not function anymore. The reason: food poisoning. Within two days he went from 70 to 62 lbs, he lost 8lbs in 2 days!There was nothing left to save him and he had to be put to sleep. The only treat we gave him during the passed year were little round pellets, dried chicken. When he grew bigger over the next months I gave him the larger dried chicken strips/jerkies made in CHINA also, without realizing or even knowing how fatal these were. Had I known about these strips it could have certainly prevented him from dying. I am very sorry we found this Website just too late! We were in total shock, Caleb did not deserve to die so young, just 14 months old. We miss him dearly. As for now all the leading Pet Food Stores are still carrying these horrible strips!

The dogs started showing weakness and lassitude within a few weeks. Their symptoms were as described in the posts in this list. My vet focused on the strips because of something he read from another vet and I understand from him that a doctor at Cornell University is studying the product. I loved my dogs as Im sure all the owners who suffered this tragedy did. They were my best friends. Two of them...border collies...grew up on my ranch here in the Texas Hill Country and helped raise my four children. All three were wonderful animals. Ive noted that all the posts on this list are from 2007...WHY are they still selling these things? Does anyone have current information. Is there a site where warnings are being issued? Whats happening with the FDA? If you have current information please share with me.
