Petco and Pet Smart both stopped sell treats that were being made in China. The treats were making dogs ill since 2007. So far there are 4,800 illness and 1,000 deaths reported. Treats like chicken, duck or sweet potato jerky treats are making the dogs sick. Pet Smart plans to take these products off the shelf by March 2015. Many people question why Pet Smart doesn't take the treats out sooner. Pet Smart owners stated, "We don't want to leave pet parents high and dry" (http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/petsmart-stop-selling-pet-treats-made-china-23808928).  Since more of the customers like the treats made from China better the company will switch to similar treats. However Petco will be removing these treats out of 1,300 stores by the end of this year. When the FDA tested the chicken jerky they found antiviral drugs amantadine, but they said this isn't causing the illness. The investigations still continue
