| Question for my buddy! Dear buddy, I know most people here don't want anything that is made in China. I just got home from shopping for you and I noticed that a few of the adorable little stuffed squeaky toys are made there. Some of them Layla has herself and we've never had problems. A couple are even Kong products, which I are distributed in America, but in small print they are made in China. I stayed away from latex and painted toys, but would you rather me not send the stuffed ones either?

| We used to be really worried about stuff from China, but we've lightened up. So, for us, stuffed would be fine. How fun!

| Hadn't even thought about that stuff...I would hope that by now things have been straightened out....besides, kind of hard to find much of anything made in usa anymore.

| Yeah almost everything in Petsmart was made in China! And apparently I even missed a few of them! Was there ever any problem with anything stuffed? I can't recall but I thought it would be safer to ask. I know there were problems with the paint on latex toys, right?

| I think people have gone a bit overboard with the "no made in china" thing. Personally, I don't want any plastic, latex, painted or food items made in China. Stuffed toys are fine with me as long as they don't have small parts that can get chewed off and choked on. I say that about any stuffed toy, not just those made in China.

| Fine with us! Most all of Lilly's stuffed toys are made in China, I always try to wash everything especially if it smells funny. I think most of the stuff I bought for my buddy is made in China except for the treats, oh well.
