I didn't know that the chicken strips sold on pet shops were bad either. But, it does see like almost anything and everything you buy is made in China, even if it is packaged and distributed in the US. So, I wasn't too surprised about the chicken being from China.
I ordered a sample from Konas also and they just came yesterday. And, yes, they look just like slices of chicken breast that I would have bagged up. My dad thought it was homemade chicken as I use the same bags for my Food Saver.
Oh, and BTW, Molly loves them! So, I'll be ordering more of them.
