THE Mook Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Holy cow! If there wasn't a reason to be buying local, all natural dog treats, there is now! I give Tek only the finest meats and cheeses of the land! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I heard about the issues with those chicken jerky treats and threw away the bag I had. Luckily I only had it for a couple days and only gave my dogs it once. Now I only give my dog natural dog treats, or a little bit of scrap meats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChargerMatt Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 A while ago I gave my dog some treats for a couple days of some new chicken treat variety pack. He ended up not eating for 3 days and having the runs all over the basement. Luckily I didn't need to take him to the vet, he slowly started eating again, but from now on I'm playing it safe and buying him the two treats I know will not get him sick: kroger brand raw hides and Pet Supplies Plus bulk dog treats. Kroger brand raw hides are awesome for anyone interested. They don't fall into a bajillion little pieces and with my dog's sensitive stomach, they can't be any bad for them.

Blue04SSS Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Dog food and dog treats are crazy. I try to only feed my dogs what i believe to be the best. I feed my dogs orijen or acana which is made in canada with only locally sourced things. When looking into dog food i found out they used to be able to use a percentage of road kill in dog food. I was talking to the guy i buy my dog food from which is not a box store and he was telling me a certain brand used to have phenobarbital in it which they use to euthanize dogs and when they did attempt to euthanize a dog. They wondered why it took so much to actually put the dog down. Its crazy. But i would never by anything made in china for my dogs period.

ExpressThis13 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I cant comment on this as I work for NPPC but im gonna keep listening see what people think. But I will say that not all Nestle Purina is a overseas product. We make plenty of treats and cat/dog food right here in the QC in the good ol USA!

Blue04SSS Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I will say if people researched dog foods and treats and what dogs should and should not eat. I would lay money a lot of people would change the way they feed their dogs. My fiance used to grab beneful for our 2 pitbull mixes. They are both 50lb female. That bag suggests about 3-1/2 - 4 cups if i remember correctly and acana is about 1-1/2 - 2 cups a day depending on activity levels. Makes you wonder the difference. Also my dogs were always hungry eating beneful. Feeding them acana wild prairie i just fill their bowl and they eat like cats whenever they are hungry and its a lot less than beneful. Other things are ingredients but thats another long post that i wont start. Lets just say my dogs are a lot better and healthier with good food.

LFairbanks Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 With my wife being seriously into dogs, she has always said that stuff made in China for the pet industry could harm or kill your animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feets31 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The company needs to quick buying from china and open a plant back here. if china does not want to play by the rules, kick them to the sidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
