    Has no one has figured this out yet? The reason no recall has been issued is because THEN they’d have to refund the MONEY.

    AS – You are right, money was one factor used in making the decision to remove the product from the shelf. Money is always a factor in any business decision. But again it comes down to, we don’t know what caused these dogs to become ill or even die. How many dogs are we even talking about that may have been affected by this product? That is one thing I would like to know, because it will give me a sense of how big this issue really is. But again, we still don’t know what the problem is. That is why they are testing the product.

    China has responded to the critical media attention that it has been getting by reminding us that US business DEMANDS (Wal Mart?)low cost goods…..they have no choice but to cut corners.

    Is that another way of saying you get what you pay for?

    Whenever possible Buy American!

    WalMart is already telling people to bring the product back for a refund. There is still not recall, but I think WalMart is handling this properly.

    Our pet Rosie, a 3 year old Chihuahua was poisoned from Chinese made
    Bestro’s Jerky Chicken Strips #77849 00006 1 We have this contaminated
    bag. We have three Chihuahuas and one of them died one month ago. She
    started with vomiting and dehydration and then we were told she may either have an obstruction or have been poisioned. Since our dogs are inside dogs and we are with them at all times outside we thought it was an obstruction. Finally the doctor
    said he was almost positive it was some kind of poisoning at Elwood Animal
    Clinic in Glendora, California. They were going to scope her but before that
    could happen she died July 21, at VCA in Fountain Valley, California.
    We gave our dogs Waggin train and Bestro’s Jerky Chicken Strips. Our
    Sweet Rosie (our chihuahua that passed) loved them and and she would eat all the
    treats we put down for the other dogs too. Up until today we never had any idea
    what happened but now with Wal Mart (I bought the treats there and at Sam’s) pulling this quietly from their selves. I truly believe that is why she died. We called Wal Mart and are getting a run around. We need help. I would like to find a website with other dog owners who may have experienced the same as we have. If you know of any please let us know. We are totally heartbroken and will never forget Our Sweet Gypsy Rose!

    Since Wal Mart had this problem before, why didn’t they pull all that
    Chinese junk off the first time? Our Rosie will still be alive! Is Wal Mart concerned about people and their Pets or Money? You figured it out.
    Boycott China and Wal Mart

    The laws are not written to protect our pets & that’s just wrong! I agree & wonder what this world is coming to when we are so reliant on crap from China & then it sickens & kills our critters & sometimes us too!

    Boycott China made foods, lotions, drinks, toothpaste, anything that can be absorbed into our skin or ingested. Better safe than sorry….
