Really? I'm curious to know where you got that from? Hubby and I for 4 years have travelled with a sharpei and keeshond (both at the bridge now) every weekend back and forth to the US to our trailer. I've never been told that about food or treats! Of course they ask if we have beef (yay, bans been lifted!) and with the other dogs we'd been asked if we had papers (never asked to actually SEE them, just if we had them) but their food has never been mentioned. We've actually had long chats with the border guards about what food is/isn't allowed (we go to a very small land crossing - they're bored and have time to answer lol). I'm very surprised to hear this. Won't be a problem if it comes up as we feed raw now, but still...
Ironically I've had to show SoCo's papers everytime but once since we got him in mid-November - going in to the US and coming back to Canada. I used to always say travel with dogs if you're a terrorist as 95% of the time they might has well have been no one at the border for all the questions we got. (Where you going, for how long, ok bye - and no, not because they recognized us.) Apparently it only applies to uncommon breeds. Border guards don't seem to be swayed by yorkies
