This sucks. We just got a puppy. We were at the dog food isle trying to find stuff made in the U.S. A lot were chinese, some were other, some said "Processed in the United States" - doesn't say where the stuff came from, though. Only a few were Made in the USA.

So, for someone who hasn't had a dog for a while, what's okay and what isn't?

Make your own dog food, lots of recipes and
it isn’t hard to make it in batches

also any good vet should know what to recommend for commercial products

After that last issue a few years ago, I quit buying packaged dog food. I spend about 15 min a week making dog food, which costs me around the same as a quality brand. And the dogs actually like the food more than any treats.

We give our dogs Charlee Bear treats. Charlee Bear They are tiny treats. Made in the USA. And, we also give them Milk Bone Gravy Bone treats. Gravy Bones are bigger treats. Also made in USA.

Blue Buffalo is made in America and is a very good product. We feed the Wilderness to our dogs, but they have other varieties. Evo, Canidae and Innova are all good too.

My dogs love the Milk Bone marrow treats but they are also made in China.

I spent time in the treat isle at Petsmart trying to find anything made in the US and the only luck I had was the all natural/ organic stuff.

Make a bunch at a time - they freeze well - fantastic for training.

I buy Blue Buffalo for mine.

Yep it is quite difficult to find much in the pet stores that isn't foreign sourced. I feed my girls freeze dried green beef tripe from a company called Dinovite. Great people based in Kentucky and with great products,I can't say enough good things about them. Just do a web search on Dinovite and you will find the web site or yopu could just add a .com after their name.
