Well the manufacturer web sites are no help. All of my dogs' toys are either Material Dog or Beanie Babies (Bow Wow Beanies) and the Nylabone Durables. There is no information online. Ridiculous! Guess I have to go to PetSmart and investigate. I'm guessing they will all turn out to be made in China. Are there recalls on dog toys yet? It seems like manufacturers would mention something on their web sites. Reassure us testing has been done or is being done, something...

Okay, thanks to Yorkiesmiles, I now know that the Nylabone Durables are made in the USA.

just got back from the vets, after reading about the air dog stuff, decided to take Gracie the jack russell in becuase she been just way out of it, took the ball with me, when vet saw the ball he just shook his head, he has several caese lately with large dogs being tried and just out of it like mine and all they have in common is tennis balls, mine was the first air dog though others wilson, penn is the only company that makes tennis ball in the U.S. any way he just gave me meds to come her stomach down, along with the labs, doesn't want to do anything else because they don't know what their dealing with for as toxins or dyes, afraid it make matter worst, anyway the ball he going to send off with the others, the only signs my have shown is there dead tried, vomiting every so often. hopely their body systems will work throgh all this, it will be days before the ball results come back.

Oh Gosh I hope Gracie is okay. Smart thinking to act so fast.

I just went to PetSmart and EVERYTHING is made in China. It's crazy!

Okay, I can't ignore it any longer. I'm pulling Lucy's toys this evening. I have no idea how I'm going to keep a 7 month old puppy occupied with no ball to fetch or toys to play with. Nevermind during the day when she is home alone. This really sucks

What is everyone doing in the meantime for toys?
