Busting the Myth That the Pet Meals Scare From China is Over

They took care of it, suitable?

Bear in mind "way back" in 2007, when scores of businesses were recalling dog and cat meals as a consequence of contamination with melamine? Melamine, which could be toxic in high doses, was located present in gluten imported from China, which brings elasticity or chewiness to pet food solutions. Although federal testing identified the melamine, a new York State laboratory also cited aminopterin, a rat poison, because the possible culprit within the pet meals. Many FDA Warnings have been issued even though the media highlighted the meals recall, including the horrifying amount of pet deaths across the nation.

People's Daily the exact number of dog and cat deaths is unknown, one particular issue is confident: the scare from toxic pet meals imported from China was actual and it improved awareness from loving dog and cat owners all across the country in regards to the dangers of imported pet meals.

But that was 2007, and this is now. They took care of it, right?

Our personal black Pomeranian, Kona, almost died in 2007 from imported chicken jerky from China. And that's more than now as well, suitable? Feel again--the brand that made Kona ill as well as the other individuals which might be imported from China nonetheless sit on pet store and major box shop shelves today. And, guess what? Despite the FDA Warnings along with the warnings from the American Veterinary Medical Association, the items are still selling and more importantly, nonetheless causing illness and death in dogs.



How can that be? Is it due to the fact the price of chicken jerky from China is less expensive and pet owners do not think about future veterinary bills? Is it since people never scour the labels around the chicken jerky treats for 3 tiny words, Created in China? Is it since they do not know that irradiated treats, denoted by the green Natura symbol on the bag, offers the treats an limitless shelf life and has been recognized to lead to cancer in dogs? Is it because American organizations and pet retailers nevertheless import and sell these goods to create large bucks?

Just after Kona nearly died from eating tainted chicken jerky from China, we began our personal business in order to raise awareness in regards to the dangers of imported treats and to stop the needless suffering of innocent pets. Considering that 2008, we have continued to get emails and telephone calls from heartbroken pet owners about their stories. Here's an excerpt from a customer's email we received yesterday:

"In 2009 we began feeding our dog chicken jerky that was produced in China. I questioned 'China' soon after hearing each of the terrible stuff about pet foods coming from there, but we trusted the owner on the pet shop and she said the chicken strips have been checked by the U.S. and were safe. We purchased them and gave them to our dog. But when our dog had her yearly wellness blood screen completed, two products for kidney function were really elevated, indicating kidney illness.

Then my sister told me about USA made Kona's Chips. I went to their site and identified facts that sounded precisely like Coco's bad blood benefits. We straight away got rid of the China-made chicken strips and ordered Kona's Chips. Coco loved them, both the chicken and turkey. She's been eating them daily for a handful of months now and yesterday we had her yearly blood screen accomplished. I told my vet what we've been thinking, that the China created chicken strips had been the problem with her two preceding blood panel results. We have been anxious to determine her new blood screening results. He just named me. Her outcomes are all Standard. Just about every item is inside the normal ranges! He's convinced (and it really is specifically what we suspected) that the chicken jerky from China had caused her kidney functions to be elevated in her blood operate. He said it really is incredibly fortunate that we quit employing them when we did. Retain up the good operate, Kona!"

The above e-mail was just received and it's well previous the 2007 pet food scare from China recall. However they fixed that, appropriate? It is over, suitable?

That story was just one of the quite a few we have received, in the heart-broken breeder whose puppy mistakenly ate a whole package of imported chicken jerky treats wrapped beneath the Christmas tree, and died within 24 hours from kidney failure on Christmas Day, to the darling stroller-riding 3-pound Chihuahua from Los Angeles who died inside hours of consuming one particular tainted chicken jerky strip from China.
