Would you buy it?

[buddybear]

I'm picky about Buddybear s food and treats

The other day I bought 2 bully sticks from my local pet store, 9" each total was $15. They are the Red Barn brand.

Shopping at Wal-Mart I saw 2- 12" bully sticks for $5.87. These are from India. With India so respectful of cattle as they might be reincarnated family I'm wondering if they are processed more safely than other places.

I'm not trying to stir up any religious problems but am trying to be honest and respectful.

I saw some for sale at another store that had 3 different possible countries of origin that I believe are not careful in their slaughtering so I didn't buy those.

Would you buy from India or any other country????????

No
I buy bully sticks for my boy at my local feed store, if they are not made in the US I will not buy, even if it means Cody goes without one for weeks until I can find a made in the US.

Thanks for your honesty.

I had to get a magnifying glass and the Red Barn ones are made in Paraguay in their own plant. This is the last time I buy their brand. For some reason I thought they were USA made.

I get tired of reading fine print on all the food items. Once I find one that meets my criteria I will stick to it.

Since bully sticks are mostly left as is vs other treats that are totally manufactured from other ingredients, I'm personally not as concerned as to where they were made. If it were me, yes, I'd buy the ones made in India and not feel worried about it.

I was buying Red Barn, the label had made in US in big letters. I buy the 9 inch braided ones and I buy 7 at a time so I always have them in the house and they last for many months. Aug. came, I needed more, back to the feed store for Red Barn, I am reading the label because I didn't see made in US, so I ask the salesmen where the Red Barn made in US are. He reads the label and tells me the ones they have are from another country, I say yeah but Red Barn always has the US ones, he tells no, Red Barn gets them from where they can. Since it was not US and whatever country it was, I had never heard of it. I told the salesmen when they get made in US back I will buy. So Cody is without bully sticks. I will go back in Nov. to see if Red Barn has changed back to US, if they have I will buy in quantity. Bully sticks are the only chew things Cody likes.

I don't like bulky sticks at all. I like Oinkies instead, pig skins.
