When I first got my puppy in 2010 I fed him the waggin treats from Costco and smokehouse chicken and duck treats. He developed a weird reacuring inflammation on his face that the vet couldn’t explain, he required surgery and drains then he developed a weird skin condition that the vets figured was caused by allergies but we didn’t know what to. After he lost most of his hair, many medications, antibiotics and antihystames later I put him on a raw food diet and avoided all chicken. A year later and my dog is doing great with no allergies and a beautiful coat but hasn’t had any of these chicken treats, could they have been the cause? Is there a class action suit I can join? I spent thousands and maxed out credit cards in surgeries, expensive shampoos and food and weekly check ups for a year.

I was feeding the jerky tenders to my 2 year old Yorkie. She absolutely loved them and I loved the sensible price. I started noticing she was vomiting after eating them. I assumed that possibly the chicken fat was getting to her. So, I absolutely stopped feeding her the jerky treats. I had no idea I was POISONING her. My dog is like my baby and she gives me so much love. I am glad I went on my instinct that there was something seriously wrong with these treats. My dog would of continued eating them had I kept feeding them to her cause she loved them like I love chocolate. Shame on you Walmart. I am a regular customer at your stores and I spend over a hundred dollars a week on average. Do you want me to boycott your store? Pets are like people’s children. What are you going to do next. Market a product that is dangerous for our kids….Stop the madness and be responsible to the consumer with products you promote by putting them on your shelves to be consumed by your patrons. Take them off your shelves. Lord knows you have plenty of other products to take its place! My dog has now come to love the milk bone biscuits! If I ever witness her vomiting those I will discontinue allowing her to eat those. But, she has been eating those for several months now and has not had any trouble…Stop the madness and my heart gos out to those whose pets have suffered from these products.

Vet confirmed kidney falure in our 13 yr old Shitzu. Had previously reported to FDA of possible Melamine posion due to many years of Waggin Train Treats. X-ray confirms large bladder stone and kidney stone. When I emailled the co. they had someone, an attorney I assume, to find out exposure. When I mentioned that there will be a necropsy by the state vet, the call was terminated. We don’t have much time left before he passes, and I am really intrested in participating in this action. Please contact me via e-mail for any additional information.
