It appears that this company knows there is a problem with their chicken jerky and doesn't want it spread around...

Read the ingredients, do a per piece cost analysis, and the sensible and humane way to feed is clear.

I refer to the "dog food" aisle in supermarkets and other stores as the Aisle of Death.
Oh please, do you have any idea how many people give their dogs and themselves food poisoning by not knowing safe food handling? "Aisle of death" is just a bit too dramatic for me.

I have a dog that has such severe allergies and there is only ONE commercial food we have found that he can eat. I've tried fresh food. Fresh chicken, he reacts, fresh beef, he reacts, most starches, he scratches himself raw. Exactly what am I suppose to feed him if not the ultra processed food that his body's histamines will not react to? Call it what you will as dramatically as you'd like to but I'll keep shopping those so called "aisles of death" for my dogs well being and comfort.

Dramatic or not...it's how I see those bags. Sorry that your dog is in such discomfort, that's very difficult to deal with. I know how hard it is to figure out what is ailing your pet and through trial and error, finally find a solution. I've found mine and I'm more than comfortable with it. Most vets have little clue as to proper nutrition, I'll stick to my successful outcome, and others can do as they wish.

It was simply a common sense suggestion...no need for you to go all drama either. Although...it's funny to read your reaction. Glad to read your dog is comfy and well. Peace.

I'm very sorry for everyone who had problems with these products. Let's hope the lawsuit does some good.

The idea of "Chicken Washing" disturbs me greatly. I want to know where what I put in my or my dog's body comes from. I guess I will have to be even more careful in the future.

The only place around this area where I could buy Milo Kitchen Chicken Balls was in Walmart. Now they have stopped selling them. Then I read about all the problems with Milo's product and I understand why. My dogs love the chicken balls. Is there any other company that makes this product. I live in Canada. Thanks Sue

My dog had severe renal infections/failure from the 2007 Chinese food stuff. He was on Nutro Max Senior which was not even on the recall list except many other Nutro products were AND it was at the same time as the other stuff. That dog was my heart dog. He was 10 that year. Now he's gone. I will not buy dog food from China, period.

Wow, went to Target yesterday and saw that they had both the Milo's Kitchen meatballs and jerky on sale. I almost bought some but I remembered this thread and passed on them. Feel like I dodged a potential bullet there. I will definitely be checking labels more closely for now on. Will be calling/emailing Target about this too.

Default Milos Kitchen - Don't ever feed anything to your dogs!

I had heard about the recall of the chicken treats from Milo's Kitchen, but hadn't heard anything negative about the beef treats until I found this site. However, I have discovered from personal experience that the beef jerky treats are not good for your dog. My dog likes them, and didn't seem to have any problem with them at first. But then he got sick and threw up 3 days in a row. I started to suspect the Milo's beef jerky the 2nd day, but when he threw up the 3rd day in less than an hour after eating a couple of treats (and nothing else except the food he's eaten for 2 years ever since we got him) - I decided that this stuff is poison and we are taking it back to the pet store. We don't care if we get a refund - we just want the store to know that they should pull this **** off the shelves - they need to be out of business.
