On august 22, 2013 I received a letter from JP Quijano, a claim professional affiliated with WinCo Foods stating;\n\nPlease be advised that a claim arose involving a WinCo Foods customer (me) purchased your dog treats, specifically rawhide and pig ears, from our store and alleges that consumption of both treats was the cause of his dog's death. Our client did not make any modification to your product. As such, we have determined there is no apparent liability/negligence on our client.\n\nAnother words, when asking WinCo Foods for compensation in the death of my dog, they would just rather pass the buck to the manufacturer and not take any responsibility for the products and or how they are displayed and handled in there stores.\n\nMy dog's death could have been a tax right off to WinCo, for my vet bills where more than what I was asking for.  Then this bad review and the poor customer service could have been avoided.\n\nThis claim took from 02/02/2013 date of loss to 09/09/2013, for me to speak to someone (the manufacturer) for this matter to be taken care of in a professional manner. If I didn't care as much about my dog to take the time and to call and call about this matter, it would have been forgotten and that is how I feel WinCo Foods wanted it, after all it was just a dog that died. I feel WinCo Foods should have handled this whole situation different for better customer service and maybe in the future they will.
