Please pass this message on to all your dog loving friends, we want to keep all pups safe.
I have a bag of these! Luckily my pups have all been ok but I’m definitely returning them ASAP.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for letting me know. I had these biscuits in my treat jar!
You would think if it said HEALTHY TREAT it would be good for our babies. You just can’t trust anything.
Hey everyone.. Please keep an eye on what you feed your furry kids. I work a Veterinary Hospital and we’ve had tons of pets’ this week come in with diarrhea, vomitting and lethargy.. We’ve found out they(the clients’) had been feeding the PetSmart Grreat Choice Biscuits on the recall list. It is so sad that we have to monitor what we feed to our furry kids and ourselves for in fear that we will contaminate ourselves..
We buy those all the time! Thankfully we haven’t for a while! WOW!
