Wal-Mart Removes Bestro Chicken Jerky Strips After Dog Death | Itchmo: News For Dogs & Cats: "A Philadelphia woman says her dog died after eating tainted dog food treats (Bestro Chicken Jerky Strips) bought from Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has quietly pulled the made in China dog treat from its stores named Bestro Chicken Jerky Strips. There has been no announcement to the public as of yet. It is also uncertain of how many tainted bags of treats there may still be out among consumers. A recall has not been issued. There has not been any information on FDA’s website. Wal-Mart has told consumers if they have purchased Bestro Chicken Jerky Strips, they can return them for a full refund."I am. I so am.
Newsflash. Wal-Mart doesn't actually care about getting to the bottom of this. Neither do most retailers or wholesalers or importers. They only care if it hurts the bottom line. So what are you going to do? What do you have to do to make food safe? You have to hit the bottom line and hit it hard.
Start buying food that doesn't come from BF Nowhere. Make a decision to do the right thing by your dog. There are ways. And I'm probably too angry right now to say anything smart about how to do that. Except to tell you that when you feed your pet, you have options, just as when you feed yourself. Maybe you should start by feeding yourself better food. Things that a dog could eat. And then share.
Gasp. I'd better go drink a glass of water. Calm down a bit. Bit of fresh air. Walk the dog.
Sit. Stay. Demand better.
