I just lost my 7 year old Standard Poodle who suffered a horrible death after getting into and eating a large amount of these treats. She threw up about 2 cups but xray at the emergency vet hospital showed her stomach to be quite full without volvulus. Her symptoms were consistent with Nitrate/nitrite poisoning in retrospect. She was not treated with methylene blue.Unable to find info re these treats online. Does anyone have info/similar experience? I would never have bought had I known of potential toxicity in large amounts.

Ann, were these purchased from Costco? We have had both of our dogs intermittently sick from these, I am convinced. We rarely give these to them as we have had the same bag for over a year but just recently we started to realize that every time they have these treats they have diarrhea or worse. My english cream goldendoodle was in ICU in September and was septic, we almost lost him. Fast forward a few months and just a day ago after I gave him a bath I gave him about half of one strip as a good boy treat. He is so sick today, same symptoms as before. Diarrhea, bloody stool, lethargic, drooling, panting. If he has not improved by tomorrow I am taking him back to the ER and will open up a lawsuit with Farmland Traditions. I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. Pets are irreplaceable and companies like this need to be held accountable.

I bought them at costco too. My dog is so sick. I emailed the company but I am sure they will admit no wrong.
I am fuming over this.

I have given both my small dogs these treats for at least 2 years. I had to put my 4 yr old down right before Christmas due to kidney disease and now my other pup has it. They have not gotten in to anything toxic. I started researching what they eat and this came up. I am almost certain these killed my baby and has gotten my other baby sick with the same thing. Please if anyone has similar situation speak up. I do not know what to do but I do not any other animals hurt by these treats which are to be treats. How do you limit how many treatreats you give your dog because of the harmful ingredients. I cannot believe this was approved by the FDA. Shame on you all. To have to watch your fur baby suffer for months only to have to put them out of their misery way to young then have your other one come down with same thing 2 weeks later. I am heartbroken and pissed.

I am in shock and am devastated! We lost our sweet Rosie this morning. This was a new treat for her and had only had 1 of them until yesterday. She got them off the counter and ate about half of the bag without us knowing. She threw them up yesterday evening and then this morning she didn’t want to get up. Then as she was laying there, a pool of blood came out of her bottom. She died in the driveway on the way to the vet. It was horrific. There is no doubt in my mind that it was the treats. She did not get into anything else. She was a 6 yo lab, completely healthy. Please let me know if anyone has taken action to sue this company. These treats should not be on any shelves.
