Two maybe three
years ago I bought a bag of Chicken Jerky at Cost - Co thinking it would be a healthy treat for my Pug, after eating these treats I noticed he Mugsy would drink water like he could not get enough... Then one night he kept coming to me with his ears laid back and hanging with a look in his eye that I knew something was wrong, went to my daughters house as she is really into dogs and hoping she could figure it out, well she noticed he could not pee no matter how much he tried, so rushed him to the vet, thank God, had I waited he would have died as his bladder was full of crystals and was near rupturing, anyway the vet catheterized him after putting him under anesthesia as it was so painful, after all was said and done and $ 1, ooo.oo later, he ended up
on a
special diet which we kept him
on for well over a
year... decided to try a good, but less expensive dog food, had his urine checked and he was doing fine...

Thankfully he has had no more occurrences, needless to say he does not get chicken jerky anymore and definitely nothing from China at least not that I know of.
