While they’re terrible for putting all manner of toxic things into the food and treats they manufacture, it’s not always China that’s the problem. “Greenies” were the worst, domestic if I’m not mistaken. There were and probably still are those organic dried chicken chips and strips. Both have led to far too many canine fatalities. Well-meaning family members gave Greenies as gifts, I bought the dried chicken chips myself. The dogs had a fit over the chicken, loved them. Weren’t so wild about the Greenies. I think they just don’t digest well and eventually lead to perforation, not any better than eating hard plastic in that regard. I had no problems with any of my dogs because of those. I would have felt very guilty if they had.
A friend sent my dogs Greenies for Christmas one year.
The dogs never even knew about them.
Vets warned people that the slimy chunks could choke their dogs and even forceps were useless in pulling them out.
