		<description>I am so sorry to hear about the loss of pets due to products from China.  How can we expect a culture that eats dogs to care about their health?  The chicken jerky strips are so dangerous from China and our little pup was seriously ill as well, but he was able to make a recovery.  Our vet told us about a chicken strip made in the US, since Pooky really loved these treats.  They're called Kona's Chips and you can check them out at konaschips.com</description>

		<description>I am Bella's owner still fighting the cause, and I will continue to inform innocent consumers without fail.
Smokehouse continues to flood the stores, and Pet Smart pthem do so.  Neither Pet Smart or SmokeHouse,manufacturer of contaminated chicken jerky, continue to deny all pet owners who were victimized havin.g precious pets poisioned and or killed by their products.  Many pet owners around the country continue to contact me about their experience, all with the common thread. Dogs with same symptoms, Pet Smart and SmokeHouse representatives continue to lie, claiming they have not had complaints (even though we've formed a network of those who complained). Money drives these people, not compassion or consciousness toward pets and owners.

		<description>It is NOT "melamine" that is killing your pets in these treats.

Look at the back panel of the bag. You will see a cute "flower" logo.

Get a magnifying glass - LOOK CLOSELY - it says "Irradiated for sanitation".

They are using spent plutonium rods to "sanitize" the treats.

If you feed these treats to your pets, you are feeding them TOXIC WASTE PRODUCT.

We bought an "Excalibur" dehydrator and make our own jerky for our dog and ourselves. WE NO LONGER SHOP AT WAL-MART, and we WILL NOT BUY ANY PRODUCT THAT SAYS "MADE IN CHINA".

You get what you pay for.</description>

		<description>*** adult language ***

THAT IS TRULY OUTRAGEOUS! and not like Gem! its truly truly fucking outrageous.

Can we have her stand up in front of the school board and all go one by one saying what we don't like about her!! 
And while we're at it can we rip out her ovaries so she may never birth children that could end up special needs and have her treat them as horrendous as this.</description>

		<description>"As for going with our instincts and gut feelings, that’s something I’ve learned to follow over the years. The times I haven’t are the times I realized I most definitely should have. And it goes without saying that a “Made in China” label is something I’m staying away from for some time to come."

This may sound like a hasty generalization but I think it is safer to avoid commercial dog food (generally) as much as possible. Pet foods are virtually self-regulated. This is weird because anything involving food should comply with superstrict standards. Sadly, this does not apply to pet food yet. So I really suggest dog owners to make the food themselves if you have time. There are many sources for &lt;a href="http://www.thepoochplace.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;homemade dog food recipes&lt;/a&gt; in the Internet. 
Thanks!

		<description>Criminal prosecution is necessary for these kind of actions:

Twelve years ago I fought for my life with this same Glendale Cigna. Back in those days they owned and operated 29 wholly owned health Clinics where they employed the doctors. I did not stop fighting until these Clinics were quietly closed down.

I had Lung Cancer, they documented in my file, I was neither a candidate for Surgery, nor was I a candidate for follow up. In other words they put me on Disability and sent me home to die.

They made me suffer for two years, lying to me I was well, when all the time they knew I had Lung Cancer.

I fought, went to Doctors outside their system, and all these Doctors recommended immediate Surgery. I had the surgery, and I survived.

All this just to save a BUCK.

When I was leaving the hospital the Surgeon told us, the cancer was very rare only in 1 percent of all cases would it originate in the Lung. He advised my family Cigna was not going to want to pay for the treatment needed. So he said he was going to document in my Hospital file all the things I would need so I could fight to get it.

The Cigna Medical Director, documented in my file theTumor was removed it was benign, and all I would need would be a follow up xray.

I stood outside this same Glendale based Cigna in a Hospital Gown fighting to live, as they would not return my calls. Instead of letting me get treatment they met me with their Lawyers, and their Risk manager.

My father was with me,and so was my husband, my Father I will never forget told their Risk Manager, if they do not let me get the necessary treatment, he would take him and throw him from the fifth floor Window out on to the street.

The Newspapers came to my aid, and after my story was published CIGNA only then agreed to pay for the treatment needed.

Please believe me, when I say these people are CRIMINALS, and I have the evidence to prove it.

Cigna, must be held accountible for its CRIMES against humanity.

Pretty damed sad this is happening in AMERICA, and nothing is being done about it.</description>

		<description>Are people reading the solutions being offered? It seems that most of these posts are still locked in on the problems rather than the solutions.

It seems to me that there are at least two ways to keep your pet safe from toxic foods:

1. Feed Biologically Appropriate Raw Foods ("BARF Diet" that you prepare at home. If your animals are healthy already, the diseases in raw chicken, whatever, will not affect them. If they are not already healthy, get them on a superior-quality nutritional supplement and probiotic and feed a safe kibble until they are.

2. Seek and find a good, safe, off-the-grid natural dog and cat food to feed them either part-time or full time, depending upon how busy you are. I happen to have an advantage because Jim Zamzow, the owner of Dynamite, is a personal friend. I have seen him laboring for years to come up with the best dog food, and they just keep getting better! He now offers "Dynamite Super Premium Diet For Dogs," and is just coming out with a brand new raw extruded meat food for dogs. 

To show you the degree to which he will go, "organic" is absolutely not good enough for Jim. He has been working to create a completely natural product that is free of the accepted practices in "organic" farming that he finds objectionable. He even invented his own natural fertilizer, and built a plant to manufacture it so that he could grow natural plants to be used for the cycle of life that he is developing. 

At any rate, when the news hit about contaminated dog and cat food, I didn't worry for a second about our animals, because I knew that the Dynamite products were completely and totally safe. 

If you are interested, you can learn about the dynamite products at http://dynamitenutrition.com.

If you would like to learn about healthy raw diets for dogs, go to:
http://astore.amazon.com/aliwel?_encoding=UTF8&#38;node=4 and check out the books. Even though they are kinda spendy, I recommend the Ian Billinghurst books.

To you healthy animal friends,
Bruce Chenoweth</description>

If they are not already healthy, get them on a superior-quality nutritional supplement and probiotic and feed a safe kibble until they are.</p>
<p>2. Seek and find a good, safe, off-the-grid natural dog and cat food to feed them either part-time or full time, depending upon how busy you are. I happen to have an advantage because Jim Zamzow, the owner of Dynamite, is a personal friend. I have seen him laboring for years to come up with the best dog food, and they just keep getting better! He now offers &#8220;Dynamite Super Premium Diet For Dogs,&#8221; and is just coming out with a brand new raw extruded meat food for dogs. </p>
<p>To show you the degree to which he will go, &#8220;organic&#8221; is absolutely not good enough for Jim. He has been working to create a completely natural product that is free of the accepted practices in &#8220;organic&#8221; farming that he finds objectionable. He even invented his own natural fertilizer, and built a plant to manufacture it so that he could grow natural plants to be used for the cycle of life that he is developing. </p>
<p>At any rate, when the news hit about contaminated dog and cat food, I didn&#8217;t worry for a second about our animals, because I knew that the Dynamite products were completely and totally safe. </p>

<p>To you healthy animal friends,<br />
