Bailey's Choice Recalls Chicken Jerkey Treats

Surprised?  Ha! Neither am I!  The recall is due to a salmonella problem and although the site says it is not dangerous to your pet I would strongly disagree depending on the pet. Salmonella causes diarrhea , sometimes bloody, vomiting, fever, cramping and lack of appetite so if you are sporting a young pup, an elderly dog or a small breed which can get hypoglycemia from not eating for a few days and continuous vomiting then I say it is a potential problem. Hey call me fickle. What they want to do is warn humans because it will also affect you and if your dear great ,great aunt Tilly  gets sick and dies  you can sue the crap out of them!

Bailey's Choice is issuing a voluntary recall of our chicken jerky treats that have two lot dates: June 5, 2013 and October 8, 2013. These two lots tested positive for salmonella. We have had no reports of anyone or any pet becoming sick. These treats will not harm your dog, dogs digestive systems are designed for eating raw food. It is more dangerous to humans. As with all raw foods, after handling jerky products, we recommend washing your hands thoroughly. We are working with the GA Dept of Agriculture closely to recall the effected lots. We will have more details here as they become available.

I would love it if everyone would call and say they had these treats which would cost the company billions of dollars in refunds which may send a message to stop selling this shit to unsuspecting consumers! Sorry but I am mad as hell and not going to take it much longer! 

600 DEAD 3,600 ILLNESSES!

 In the overnight hours since I published my previous blog article (link here )  on jerky treats, more news has come in.  As of 20 hours ago the the FDA has reported 600 deaths of family pets and at least 3,600 illnesses caused by the Jerky Treats that are made in China ,yet the FDA is stumped on what is causing this.  Could this be another melamine type scandal? And does it frighten you as much as it does me that with all the testing the FDA cannot yet come to a conclusion?

US pet owners have been warned for years about chicken jerky treats, pig ears, pig snouts and bully sticks  yet so many are still purchasing these products and I suspect until they are taken off the shelves altogether unsuspecting victims will continue to buy them.

Aside from the most recent look into these products by the FDA we should be very leery of any pet products made in China or anywhere outside the USA.  

Also, though all of these items  are said to be "digestible" by companies they are not! They do not break down in the system and if large pieces of such items are swallowed, you run the risk of obstruction. Raw hides are also a cause for obstruction so if you give these you need to be sure you are watching the dog as they chew on them especially if they are aggressive chewers and you should take it away when it gets too small or you see the dog is taking off to  large of a piece.
