Let's be 100% honest here, be specific, and not parse words. If you read their website, then you would have seen that the rabbit, and ONLY the rabbit that is in the raw and canned comes from China. All other protein sources and ingredients come from the USA (including the rabbit used in the kibble). Many members here at Yorkie Talk, that are VERY picky about what they feed their pups use Nature's Variety and have great results.

I don't feed their rabbit products to my pups just because it does come from China. There are a lot other varieties of their food and treats to choose from besides rabbit, and there is no reason to have a problem with the ones that don't contain rabbit.

Directly from their website:

At Nature's Variety, our nutritional philosophy is to source the highest quality, safest, and most nutritious ingredients in the world. We look for our ingredients domestically first. In the case of rabbit meat, we've found that the best supply of high quality, human grade rabbit is found in China. Therefore, we are currently sourcing rabbit meat specifically for our raw and canned rabbit diets from a trusted supplier in China. To help ensure that our strict quality and safety standards are rigorously enforced, this rabbit meat is regularly inspected and monitored by the PhD food scientist we have on staff. Additionally, members of the Nature’s Variety leadership team have personally visited and inspected the facility in China. We also employ extra testing (at an independent lab in the United States) to ensure that the rabbit is nothing short of our strictest standards for quality and nutrition.
