How to Buy Safe Dog Treats / Dog Treat Recalls 2013

January 2013 -- Four manufacturers, one a day just this week, have been forced to take urgent action for the safety of your pets. Dog treats that make dogs sick are sold across the nation by various retailers. 

Under investigation for more than a year, these treats have remained for sale on our store shelves. And from large companies you want to trust like Purina, Nestle & Mars. 

You have probably seen the Milos chicken jerky treat tv ad  where this dangerous treat is endorsed by a precious border collie. Shameful!

This is beyond 'buyer beware' -- it is like the canine version of the human flu epidemic! These treats have tested positive for 'traces antibiotic residue'. Others with salmonella bacteria. Really a bad situation.

It is because of inferior ingredients and the loosely regulated pet food industry, that these treats have been allowed to continue to put our pets at risk! The packaging is colorful and all the 'buzz' words for consumer trust are on the package. 

So, we unknowingly buy these treats to reward our tail wagging pups for being sweet and doing tricks...

And now what? Feeling alarm, worry, disgust, panic, fear, anger? I know I am. Sadly, we have good reason.

St. Louis, Missouri - January 9, 2013 - Purina announced it is withdrawing 
Waggin' Train and Canyon Creek Ranch dog treats sold in the United States.

San Francisco – January 9, 2013 – Milo’s Kitchen today announced that it is recalling
Chicken Jerky and Chicken Grillers dog treats from retailer shelves nationally.

IMS Trading Corp today (January 10, 2013) announced it is withdrawing 
Cadet Chicken Jerky sold in the United States.

Publix Super Markets is issuing a recall for
Publix Chicken Tenders Dog Chews sold in their grocery stores.

So, who can help you buy safe dog treats?
