Concerned about pet toys made in China? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I called Westpawdesign and talked to a lady that said all their products are made in their building in Montana. So I placed an order for 11 toys. My girls are going nuts since I took all their toys away. Thanks for the link Yorkiesmiles!!!

This is all so frightening...how do I dare take away Winston's favorite toys??? Yet...they almost all are made in China. Guess I'll have to buy new safe toys and try to sneak the old unsafe toys out of his box. But he absolutely goes bonkers if he can't find his ball...hmmmmm...

The ball we bought was the bowser wowser ball, but it doesn't squeak. I think all laytex or rubber squeaky balls are made in China.

Dang, if it doesn't squeak, he won't like it...he'll be a very unhappy boy.

My favorite line of toys, so much that I sell them, are from Premier Busy Buddy. Here is what they posted on their website. They are such a good company I knew they would have their products tested.

August 6, 2007

Dear Friends of Premier,

In light of the recall of lead based painted toys in China, we want to reassure you that our Busy Buddy® and Squeeze Meeze™ toys have been tested and have been found to be completely safe from lead based paints.

In a recent chemical laboratory test conducted by a third party, trace elements of lead were not detected.

As always, Premier Pet Products is committed to providing the highest quality products and ensuring the safety of your pets. You continue to be our top priority.

Best regards,
Premier Pet Products

This site has really cute toys on it - I'll have to get some for Izzy now and this is good for our GE coming up.

OK - they are made in Montana with US materials??

I can't find any information about where PetEdge toys are made, even in the item descriptions. Does it give this anywhere on the site??

================================================== ===================

The only company we know for sure that is not made in China, and is made in the U.S., is Planet Dog.

We carry their Orbee line, and Orbo line. Here are some links to those items (I've listed the smaller toys for your little guys):

These toys do not squeak.

Please reply to to this email if you have any further questions.

I have several of the Zanies from PetEdge that are still new with tags. They all say made in China.
