The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has documented more than 5,600 cases of dogs that got sick eating jerky treats, most of which were made in China. Of those dogs, more than 1,000 died, according to the FDA. Of the dogs examined as part of the federal investigation into these Chinese pet treats, about six in 10 were found to have gastrointestinal or liver disease, and 30 percent suffered kidney or urinary disease.

Some pet food and treat companies have been reducing the number of Chinese-made products they offer and going toward American-made ones. They are reducing.....they should be totally doing away with anything Chinese-made.

Take a few minutes to e-mail, write, or phone some of the companies that offer Chinese-made pet food and treats to express your concerns and ask that they stop offering ALL Chinese-made products. Even the pet toys that are made in China are a concern. So contact them, too.

People will sit around and complain about Chinese-made products amongst their friends, but companies need to be aware of just how seriously pet owners take this issue.
