Has your dog tried this particular brand of chews before? I only ask because my poodle - who also typically has an iron gut - gets the runs on those Whimzees chews. It is possible that there's just something in the ingredients that doesn't agree with your dog and the unfortunate illness your daughter's English Cocker suffered was a coincidence.
But given the severity of your daughter's dog's reaction, I can understand wanting to confirm whether or not they're the culprit. You can try contacting Kirkland's customer service line, or even asking your vet if there's a process for reporting potentially contaminated products. If a batch did somehow get contaminated, the only way the producer might find out is through customer feedback. It's not something I've ever had to do before, so hopefully others with more experience will chime in if they have other ideas. Good luck!
