Even though it says "Nestle" a USA company, the contents were indeed imported from China. Full of pesticides. There are 5 big dog food companies responsible for 85% of the dog food packaged here. Please be aware of that. Absolutely NO chicken Jerky treats from WalMart, or Sams Club. Been recalled.

Chinese Food: Here’s what’s in the chicken jerky that’s poisoning our pets
Posted on May 15, 2012 by Amy Renz
In China, over 80% of people worry about food safety. Excessive pesticide use, illegal additives, diseased livestock, and “gutter oil”are their primary concerns.[1] If one billion people are scared of their country’s human food supply, then this one American is scared about the pet food it’s exporting for our dogs and cats.

Seventy percent (70%) of pet food imports to the US are coming from China, and skyrocketing. From finished food products to pet food ingredients for US manufacturers, that is one scary number. Reports of illness and death from eating China-made chicken jerky dog treats like Waggin’ Train, Canyon Creek Ranch (both Nestle Purina brands), and Milo’s Kitchen (Del Monte) is just one example.

And this past April, more than 23,000 chickens at several farms in the Chinese village of Touying were confirmed for the H5N1 bird flu virus. A total of 95,000 chickens have been culled. There’s no mention of where those diseased birds will end up. But if China thinks restaurant waste makes fine animal feed, then those dead birds must look like that “readily available” “quality white meat chicken,” Waggin Train was talking about.[58]

So they use lead paint on toys and jewelry for our kids, and pesticides in the pet food. Wonderful, but people buy cheap products and get what they pay for.

I just put my dog down 3 weeks ago from bone cancer. Can't help but believe it is the food and vaccines.
