Chicken Jerky Recall

[Mindy Ambrose]

It should be made clear that this is a BESTRO product. Not a Waggin Train, or any other brand of treats. This makes these other companies look bad.

[Better safe then sorry]

It is possible that there is no problem with these other brands of jerkey strips, that there is no harmful chemicals, etc, but who wants to test these companies safty on their family pet... NOT ME!!
It is possible to buy treats that your pet will love, witch will not make their health suffer, you just must be willing to take the time to look at labels, and spend the money. Money talks, and each dollar that we spend on shoddily made products, and give to corporations with negligable moral practice, tells them that we will buy whatever (safe or not) they can produce most cheaply. I used to subscribe to the belief that if it was sold for us or our pets to eat then it must be safe, but this is simply not the case! I once fed my pets food and treats that were the most affordable, I now feed some of the most expensive foods (not ones that can be found at walmart or petco). This is not because I am a yuppy, or because I am rich. In fact I am a struggling student, and work two jobs. I believe that the health of my pets and myself is important and will make sacrifices in other parts of my life, so that we will be healthier and will visit the vet less often. People in america pay so little for food, as a percentage of our expenditures, and food is one of the most important things for longevity and health. My point is go to your local specialty pet store and look for whole meat treats that are made in america such as merricks lamb, or innova freeze dried foods. If you cannot find a good treat that you trust, then buy a small bag of quality cat or ferret food such as innova and give it in small quantities for treats. If all else fails buy sale chicken, lamb, liver, hearts, etc, meat and boil it and keep it in the freezer to give to your furry friends as treats (in small quantities) they will love you for it.
