Toto spent the day Wednesday with her vet for extensive testing. Good news & bad news. Out of the long laundry list of tests, they were all fine except one. Her BAT was within "normal" range, but on the very tippy top just this side or abnormal. Because of several strange behaviors of late, he said we can't put this to rest. We will re-test in 4-6 weeks and if it's still at that level or higher ... go beyond that. I don't know what any of this means, I just know that I trust her vet completely. He took two days to study her tests along with her food and every percentage of protein, fat, etc. We are numb ... she has been perfect her entire life.

We got our sample in the mail yesterday and Stewie enjoyed his first treat today. He LOVED them. He ate it in about 10 seconds. We'll definately be ordering more!!

Thanks so much for the link and for the education on the made in China products. As a first time dog owner, I need all the help I can get. Thats why I love this site!

My parents' Goldens love these. I haven't tried any for my yorkie pup yet though.

Thank you all so much! Please, please tell everyone about this danger! I get so angry now when I am shopping and begin looking at all the things that are "Made in China"!!! I usually wind up buying nothing! Don't we make anything in our country anymore!?!? I'm sorry ... I don't mean to sound so angry here. I have promised myself that I will check every single item and if it's Made in China, I will not buy it! I am not so stupid as to think for a second that my doing this will really matter .... but it surely will make me feel better!!!

I know there's not much that we can control anymore but, by golly, I certainly can control where I spend my money!!
