| Updated jerky advisory Argh. I want to find safety in the us label, sounds like I cannot. Thought I would share this article I read about updated jerky treat recommendations: Welcome to Best In Show Daily

| Jerky Thanks for the link. Scary!! I wonder how many other foods have other than US ingredients that we don't know about? I had a bottle of hand soap and noted that it was 'designed' in the USA, but made in China!!? So manufacturers will use any means to steer us away from the China word! |

| I agree with what the article suggests.... just stop feeding ANY jerky treats, not only made in China, but all places. Dogs can certainly live without jerky

| Just my opinion, but I think jerky treats are bad no matter where they are manufactured. Dehydrated chicken sits in their guts way too long, especially if you are feeding it on a daily basis. Go buy some beef jerky and eat a piece equivalent to your size you are feeding your dog daily and see how your tummy feels. |

| We make our own chicken jerky treats. I make them small usually about the size of a quarter. She usually gets 1 maybe 2 a day but not all at one time.
