We've bought some of these, Deb, and Bailey loves them, but they are off the menu now. Thanks, I don't know what I'd do if I lost Bailey. I feel so sorry for the over 500 who lost their beloved pets. Keep informing people, we all need another set of eyes to avoid these pitfalls. Thank you.

I was watching this on the news this morning. Sad to think you can just give your dog a snack and a day later it's dead.
I make my own jerky for them, if I run out I buy the human grade big bag of jerky from the market.

Agreed. I don't bc most of the time I'm hardly ever home & have a hard enough time just making myself food. So if I buy treats, I don't buy anything made outside of the US.

Lol, yeah that's my problem too Haha!, but since being laid off I've been in a cooking mood....so now I try to make time, even if I get lazy lol.

So many items now say 'distributed by' rather than 'made in' so I always wonder about their true source.

Yep. That's why I always check for "made in the us" if you look at some of the packaging it may say made in China, distributed in the us. I stay away from those too

I don't put any salts or pepper on the meat but it is soaked in the same Soy, molasses, fruity, marinades that I use for my own jerky. The sodium and citrus are the preservatives.

Welcome. Jerky making is just about doing it how you want it. I just made a batch that I soaked in a molasses and cajun spice blend then painted it with Sriracha hot sauce before I dried it. It is like fire but so yummy.

How do you make the jerky? I'd love to make some for my dogs. I'm too scared to buy the treats.
