| Toys made USA, material may not be from USA..please read response from westpawdesign Someone had posted www.westpawdesign.com had toys made in the USA. I emailed them about where the fabric come from that the toys were made out of and here is the response I got. Even though toys are made in the USA does not mean the material is not from China. Hi Heather, You are right -all but two of our toys are made in Montana. All of the materials with the exception of a few items are also from the USA. I have listed the exceptions below (since there are fewer exceptions), so feel free to purchase knowing that the toys are non-toxic and your animal's safety was a major concern that we truly care about! Also, note that by supporting West Paw Design, you are supporting a company that is environmentally and community conscious! Bow Wowzer Ball - made in Canada, packaged in Montana, USA. Fling Thing - made in Canada, packaged in Montana, USA. Organic Fabric - Origin is India, Beds manufactured in Montana, USA. The following toys are manufactured in Montana, but the fabric's origin is China: Winter Bear Snowball Kitty Stocking mike merry mittens big sky stockings big sky blankets dancin' Man kitty coins barn mouse cheddar Hip Nip Pouch Flower FLyer Star Chaser Octopal Rainbow Nip-n-night cat mat Fleece Sleeper dog and cat mats Ruff-n-tuff reindeer Tiny-ruff-n-tuff reindeer The remaining toys you see on our website are made in the USA and contain materials of USA origin! Let me know if you think it would be more helpful to list all the remaining Beds and Toys that are made in the USA and contain materials of US Origin. I did list both Cat and Dog Toys above, just in case you happen to share this list with anyone else that may own a Kitty. I hope that helps!

I am very concerned about anything that comes from China with all the recalls. Thanks, Heather

| That's good and being that he offered to list more toys I'd let him know it's for the YT board, and we'd love to read the rest of his safe toys.
