Waggin Train Chicken Jerky

Nestle Purina Pet Care Co has confirmed that the Waggin Train Chicken Jerky treats are actually “Made In China” and further state that the facilities are modeled after the U.S. Department of Agriculture standards of quality, under stringent safety and sanitary guidelines. 

Further they do have a posting under FAQ section on their website the fact that the FDA on 11/18/11 and 3/9/2012 stated that there is a possibility of illness of dogs associated with the chicken jerky.   

As a dog owner, it will be your decision to purchase any dog treats or food in where it is "Made in China".

My recommendation is for you to read the fine print and the label to make a prudent decision on the health and well being of your dog.
