    Read the labels of treats. If it says "Distributed By......" and a USA company, it doesnt mean youre safe. Some say "Made in China", while others hide it, and list where/who they are distributed by.

    Apparently even some made in the US are using the raw materials from China.

    we are VERY carfull of what we buy them. For treats, we mostly buy locally made ones. For Food, we only buy foods made in USA with locally grown/harvested ingredients. Its hard to do, and pricey, but its cheaper in teh long run, as the Dogs stay healthy, and happy :)

Grillcraft black grill w/ black paint in back, elusive elements light bar inside w/ additional lights, old grill cutout, yakima rack mount, better tires.
    I heard about this last spring; I got a free sample in some dog food. Saw the same stuff (still selling) at Walmart. the picture on the pkg was of a dog dressed as a cowboy with a covered wagon behind him and a pet dog in front of him; Gave my dogs most of the pkg until I heard this was the product. Asked a guy at Walmart if they had heard about this and he said the problem was one batch. Since the story seems to be still making press, I'm betting the guy at Walmart was just trying to shine me on.

    My guy gets Natural Balance and usually rawhide bones or Kongs filled with his food and topped with peanut butter. Occassionally Breath Busters also but that's more for us than him :D

    Yes.
    This has been going on for quite some time. New brands are being added to list all the time. The primary issue is chicken from China. Most labels say where everything is from/made. If it doesn't specify, don't buy it.

    Our dog is diabetic so we make her our own dog food, we cook cut up skinless boneless chicken thighs, rice or oatmeal, peas and corn with cottage cheese on the side.
