We almost lost our little dog because of them damn things from China.

Sure wish the excerpt was at least big enough to tell me which treats it is talking about...

It’s all about the ethics of cheating the consumer.
Do they have any qualms about using a poison to fake the quality of their product? It seems not.

[glorgau]

Go into a pet store these days and many of the treats are prominently labeled “Made in USA”. The market at work.

This has been going on for years. Granted, it can happen even with choosing a reputable US dog food manufacturer, but the good ones do seem to care. I have no idea why anyone still buys anything for their pets that's from China.

That includes dog toys. Why would anyone let their dog play with toys from China? Who could possibly trust the paint dyes?

Dog treats made only in the USA search results on Amazon

It's hard to know which ones are safe but be assured that nothing consumable, by man or animal, is safe from China.

My dogs LOVE Dingo bones but I love them too much to continue giving them poison from China.

I buy the generic pork rinds made locally for dog treats. Way cheaper than anything sold as dog treats and they love them.

This is what I’ve been giving my dogs (both >70lbs) for the past year

They get 1/2 to 1 piece a day for being ‘good puppies’.

FWIW, I believe both dogs were suffering kidney effects while I was giving them the (Costco) Kingdom Pets Chicken Jerky, as they now only do #1 a couple times a day. They also frequently had runny stools, just as noted in the Amazon reviews. I didn’t notice how often they were going outside to do their business until I was off work, but the frequency with which my Shepherd was running to the door desperately needing to go pee was disturbing...now completely resolved.

I supposed I’m just lucky I was only giving them only 1 piece/day split between them.

Don’t buy any kind of food from the Dollar Store.

I’m going to try this again without my comment getting zapped:

With no opinion proffered on Costco (where these Chicken Jerky treats are distributed), check the comments as FYI ‘before you buy’:

Today I tossed two packages, one of dried liver snacks and one of sweet potato snacks, each of which I found out upon receipt was made in China.

Within a minute thereafter I was on the telephone informing the pet supplies catalog company from which I had received them that I never wanted to see one of their catalogs in my mail box again.

It is possible that these treats were perfectly safe but when my pet’s health or even life is at stake, no chances are taken. And that means he consumes NOTHING from that immoral country of China.

[Organic Panic]

It is getting harder and harder now to NOT find food products from China. Read the labels carefully. Almost all the dog treats in a regular store were from China.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Any body who feeds their pet or themselves edibles made in China is suicidal China is the home of adulterated everything

I have 2 Jacks and they love the beef soup bones from the butcher. Make sure they are small enough as to not get their jaws stuck in them but they love them and they last for days.
