Pet Bistro - Has anyone tried this new Pet Bistro everyone is raving about? We recently bought pet bistro and our dogs went crazy. I have never seen them love a food as much as this one. I read where Karen had tasted it, and I must say you are right this food has a great flavor. I hope this company makes treats soon.

I was ran across your blog today. I wanted to share a wonderful dog food I found a few months back. My dog just loves it. The food is made with all human grade ingredients. It is also made in the U.S. and Eco-Friendly. I have personally tasted this food and it is tasty. I must say I liked it. More importantly my dog loves it. I am sharing this information because it took me a long time to find a great food for my dog. It is called Pet Bistro www.petbistro.us

I found a store in VA that makes their own dog treats and my dogs just love them. I stopped with all this Chinese treats because you just can’t trust them and cheap isn’t the way to go for my dogs. Go to www.BeccasBarkery.com. My dogs won’t eat anything else now.

I was able to buy the Smokehouse brand from Petco on 10/3, the Duck Breast version. Two of my beagles got extremely dehydrated, similar to the other reports, too weak to even stand so we rushed them to the emergency on two different occasions. Not until the second dog got sick did the Vet even hear about the chicken tender scare. Now after $2,000+ vet bills, I have two weak dogs with possible kidney damage that won’t live a full life. I’m very angry and want to know when we are going to stop telling these sad stories and do something about it? How come this story broke in August/September but we still have sick dogs in November? Where is the website that is keeping track of all these cases and comparing the symptoms? Let’s get organized. Maybe get a lawyer.

I have 3 large German Shepherds. We have fed them the smoke house chicken treats sense they have been released. when these tenders were recalled in aug we stopped giving them to our dogs as we bought them at pets mart. Pets mart then told us the items were tested and that they are safe for the dogs to eat. we gave our dogs the treats only to notice that one was throwing up. right after that she became latargic and could’nt even walk. she collasped in the floor and could’nt move. She had shallow breathing. we had to roll her over on a blanket and carry her to the car to rush her to the emergency vet. many test were run dr said her liver enzymes were out the roof. she was dehyrated, she had pancritis which he said comes from alot of fat. the bag reads on these tenders low fat. She was held over 244 ours put on an iv and given meds. this game out to $687.00. Now she is home we are seeing that she is peeing on herself and not even knowing. which she has always been potty trained and never has had an accident in the house. We are waiting on the vet to get back with us on that. I called the customer support center for pets mart as I was directed by our local store. The lady i spoke with was dummer than a box of rocks. I explained to the lady what was going on and she told me well the best thing i can tell you is not to buy the product well duh. I said look My problem is that these items are still on the self and they need to be pulled as I do not want this to happen to any more dogs. she took my information and said she would pass it on. I will not rest until these items are pulled off the shelf. I know china likes to eat dogs but don’t try to kill ours.

My Yorkie became very ill over a two-day period. I had fed her Smokehouse chicken tenders for a year, but there must have been a bad batch. Her symptoms were not attributable to any other cause. It took eight days of IV fluids, numerous blood tests and care to get her to a point where she could come home. Her kidneys have been damaged, I don’t know to what extent at this time, and she will most likely be on a special diet for her remaining years (she’s 6 now). She’s alive, but only because my vet had lost another dog to the same symptoms two weeks prior and acted immediately and aggresively. I’m sure it’s not everything from China, but all products should be tested regularly, not just when there is a problem. At $10 for a one-lb bag, that’s almost four times what I pay per pound for the chicken breast I eat, it should all be tested regularly. I will not feed my dog anything that isn’t made in the USA completely ever again. We have testing here that is unmatched. There’s a reason some US manufacturers outsource their work - it costs them less because there are not the same restrictions. I’ve learned a $5000 lesson - but I’ve learned it well.

This article is dated. Not knowing about this hysteria, I recently purchased and fed two bags of Smokehouse Duck & Sweet Potato treats to my 3 companions - no harmful event occured -

I’m wondering if all the China fear mongering is just hysteria … my crew lived through the dog food scare too.

How many tons of pet food comes from China and how many millions of animals here eat it - and what did we have, less than 50 cases of illness and less than a dozen cases which were fatal? And how many actual deaths were 100% verifed as being caused by pet food from China?

Perspective folks, not hysteria.

Hi, Everyone,

I’m a pet food supplier from China. I have paid much attention to the pet food recall affair. And I want to expatiate something that you didnt knwo.

As far as I know, All our products exported to USA and Canada is nautral chicken meat without any additive and artificial preservative. so it’s health food. even human being can eat it. And my boss kept feed his dog with our products.

you can take it easy, it’s impossible to export any bird flu infected chicken in China. If you come to China occasionly, you’ll find how much China government stress on FOOD Safety.

And you FDA testing report also said that the dog’s illness is not definately caused by Chicken jerky.

Anybody want to chat me about pet food, can communicate with my by MSN: pengbomu@hotmail.com, or my skype: pengbomu.

I can send you picture of our goods, and samples if you need.

You’ll find what I said it’s true.

My son’s 7 year old cocker spaniel has gotten very sick this past week, with all of the same symptoms described by the others. The vet could not find what was wrong with him, but
think he was poisoned. He did not get the chicken treats, but he did get Dentleys chew-rite sticks. Has anyone had any trouble with this product?? We noticed that other chew treats had been re-called. We’re not sure of how much kidney damage has been done, he has been in intensive care all week, but he’s starting to do a little better and may be able to come home. Thanks Ruth
