| Thank you for posting. The ONLY way that this is going to stop is if US pet owners quit purchasing treats made in China - all of them -- period! Once the economic hardship on the companies that import these treats outweighs the profits, then perhaps they will take the safety of our precious pets seriously. Any time I see someone picking up a treat item that I know is made in China, I mention that treats made in China aren't safe. Then it's up to the purchaser to decide. |

| Are they still being made in China? I hope no one buy them and they go out of business.

| I just noticed today that some treats are being made in Thailand -- anyone know if they have the same problem as treats made in China? I put the bag down because I didn't want to take any chances... |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I had been feeding my 3 Weruva dog food which is made in Thailand. It appears that it is safe and the same place makes Chicken of the Sea human food. I recently stopped feeding them it as it became too expensive. But, when I took Pixie to the vet the other day I showed the vet the can of Weruva and she said she was still leary of food made outside of the US.

| I'm not too worried about Thailand. Like captnoonie said in a recent post (I can't find it)... ALL Asian countries should not be looped into one. Some of Thailand's facilities are actually better than USA...

| I've been feeding my babies bravo dry roasted chicken treats. Then, I realized that it would cost me about the same(+time) buying organic chicken, and making natural jerkies myself! here are some pics of rosemary chicken & happy tummies
