Default 3 big brands tied to chicken jerky illness in dogs

My friend's 2 English bulldogs passed away recently from liver failure. They both ate the Waggin Train and Canyon Creek Ranch treats. Just thought everyone should be aware and not feed your dogs this stuff.

I checked the label, they were made in China. I should have checked the label before I purchased, I try to buy treats made in America only. Into the trash they go!

I just looked carefully at some treats husband bought Danny and sure enough in small print says chicken from China. It is a rawhide with chicken in center. Right in the garbage can it goes.

I've done this so many times with brands that scream in big letters American Whatever and in tiny letters on the bottom of the back of the bag "Made in China" that I find when I get home. I'd rather throw them out than have my dogs get sick too.
