 Is Irradiation a problem ? September 5, 2008
Read the link about irradiation.
http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/securit/irridation/cyclobutanone-eng.php
If you do the math, and this food is 3% fat, according to my calculations, I come out with my 10 pound chihuahua getting 11 millionths of a gram per KG of body weight of this 2-Dodecylcyclobutanone stuff. This is feeding her one piece a day.
They mice that had problems had from 1.12 mg to 14.9 mg per KG of Body weight per day. This is a factor of 100 to 1350 times more before any problems showed up. Not to mention that on the larger dogs the concentration per gram of body weight would be so much lower, about 3 millionths of a gram per kilogram of body weight for our dalmatian.
Now they get a little each day as a protein supplement to their diets. The chihuahua gets about a half of a large piece, the dalmatian gets a whole piece. They get some vitabone biscuits later. Finally they get their natural balance, or prarie dog food in the evening.
If you use them as natural treats to protein supplement your dogs diet you should have no problems with these new organic compounds that are caused by irradiation.
Now on the other issue of China. Just buy ahead and if you hear of some bad news you are a month behind the problems.
Hope this helps the non scientific among you. Don't listen to the people who just freak out about everything that could go wrong. There could be a problem, but it looks as if it is OK for now.
Remember Irradiated food means no bacteria, so this is a small plus as a brand that was not irradiated had problems with sick dogs some time ago. As far as I know Waggin Train has had no issues like this.
Sincerely,
JC Carey
PS if you are still concerned, just cook real chicken for your dogs like we used to do. This is the safest thing you can do. In fact, every time we cook we cook extra meat to share with our dogs.
 fair price for a good product August 17, 2008
My dog loves these jerky treats but they don't always have the big bag in stock at the store.At Amazon I can get them even with shipping it's the same price as the store.
OK treats, not outstanding August 1, 2008
Of the many "healthy" treats on the market today, these certainly are not the worst. They contain no wheat, soy or corn, which are the some of the main ingredients one should avoid in pet foods (and subsequently the most commonly found within them).
However, the fact is there is absolutely no nutritional value in these treats; unlike other jerky type treats on the market, most notably Zuke's brand Jerky Naturals. The ingredients list reads that they are made up of "chicken breast filler" and "seasonings" which is comforting in that it is a very short list, but concerns me merely because the bag smells very strongly of salt. This leads me to believe that the primary "seasoning" is no doubt largely of salt. (I know my dog seems to become quite thirsty after just one piece.)
It should be noted that this product does state it uses irradiation to sterlize. I, personally, am not a fan of the use of radiation with regards to food, but all the studies I have read regarding it have concluded that there is absolutely NOTHING HARMFUL about the process. The process merely eradicates any bacteria and helps to preserve food, though it also destroys any nutrients also present in the food.
Lastly, I would like to address the concerns of potential health issues (i.e. kidney failure). Such extreme health issues are probably not caused by this product being unsafe, but rather an owner's own ignorance of high protien diets. If you are not giving your dog adequate amounts of water to "dillute" all the protien present in the food given, s/he will most definitely be in danger of kidney issues. High protien is NOT a bad thing by any means, but it is important to make sure your dog is drinking enough, especially if they are eating only dry food!
 do not buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 10, 2008
my dog has been so constipated..so sick..one time when he threw part of one up it was just like wood splinters that is when i quit giving them to him.He has an obstruction from this garbage. With five enema's and two medicines i still haven't been able to get rid of the blockage. He probably will have to have surgery. His kidneys are not as good as they are supposed to be either.....they did blood work and it showed possible problems.
These treats are TOXIC (literally) ... read on ... June 4, 2008

These treats are being hailed as "safe" because there are no added ingredients.
Some say their pets are getting sick because of "melamine", yet these treats don't seem to have any melamine in them.
I invite you to LOOK AT THE BACK OF THE BAG. You will see a cute little "flower" logo. If you get a magnifying glass and read what the "flower" logo says: "Irradiated for sanitation".
Irradiated means TOXIC. Period. These treats are being irradiated with spent plutonium rods.
Smaller dogs get sicker quicker than larger dogs, but medium to large dogs eventually get sick too. Many have died.
The company that manufactures this product [ADI Pet Products (adipet dot com/Products/products.shtml)] SWEARS these treats are safe for our pets.
I personally do NOT believe them.
The treats are made in China. They say on the label that they are irradiated. Blogs of bereft pet owners pine away over the loss of their beloved family members (pets).
WAKE UP FOLKS. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!
We purchased an "Excalibur" dehydrator and make our own. I'd rather be safe than have my baby be dead. How do you feel about that?
PS ~ this product costs almost $26.00 for 2.5 pounds of meat. That equals $10.40/pound. I pay less than that for free range chicken, get a lot more, and won't get SICK off of it. Food for thought - literally.
