Petco became the first pet retail store to remove all China-made dog and cat treats today just days after the FDA announced that they have now been linked with deaths and illnesses in dogs, and even in people. “We know some pet parents are wary of dog and cat treats made in China, especially Chicken Jerky products, and we’ve heard their concerns,” said Petco CEO Jim Myers in a statement. Petco will also stop carrying the treats in its Petco stores, its Unleashed by Petco locations, and online at Petco.com.
