It is downright scary ever since pets started dying from those chinese chicken jerky treats (which Daisy absolutely loved btw).  I also started really paying attention to where treats are made and only buy made in USA.  You gotta watch too because sometimes they say "distributed" in the USA in big print and in really teeny tiny print say made in China.

I did start dehydrating chicken which works pretty well but haven't ventured into making other types of treats. I just make sure to read the packages and ingredients.  I will go home and make sure none of them have propylene glycol in them.

Thanks for sharing Lori.......I have personally been very diligent about any foods, treats, etc. since the big dog food recalls several years ago while working at my veterinary clinic. I saw many dogs and a few cats come in with horrible illness from these many recalled tainted foods, from the tainted wheat gluten product from China. We had about 3 or 4 dogs and 1 cat die from this, and many more with long lasting illness and continuing problems, especially kidney ailments. My own friend and neighbor ultimately lost her sweet beagle mix to this recall as well, just took about 6-8 months from fighting kidney failure as a result.

There are many, many available and viable American made treats that are easy to find in most stores now, because of all this China crap causing death here with our pets. Some stores are actually NOT purchasing any "death treats" from China any longer, and just taking them off the shelves. I've been checking shelves in every store I go to, and it is hard to find any treats from China now, thankfully. I just wonder how many pets had to become sick, with many dying, before store got smart about this.

Love to all,

P.S. I have discovered through many emails to dog and cat food companies, that vitamin C still is coming from China, and is in people foods and vitamins, because they said this is the "only place producing it", whatever the heck that mean.......
