You know, I just ordered some Dogswell products for my website. They are a good company and their stuff says all the right things all over it - USDA, no added anything. Their website is not clear about where they are made. In fine print on the VERY bottom of the package it says "Made in China" so I called them and asked how I am supposed to sell a product made in China. They didn't really have an answer. So they are USDA inspected, but when you say they are free range or whatever HOW DO YOU KNOW? I thought the Dogswell ones were a safe alternative and I still think they are a high-quality product, but I am returning my inventory. I can't sell treats made in China no matter how good the company is. Plus, they are expensive. For $8 a bag you'd think they could find a way to make them here.

I thought the same thing when I read about them, but then I read the fine print too. Good for you for calling them and sending back the inventory!

We need to make it known that we want the things we buy to be safe and made at home! I really respect that!

Is this the kind that was recalled from WalMart shelves recently? There was a post under health and diet about this.

No, the dogswell wasn't the walmart brand that was pulled - I forget the name of the brand walmart carries. The dogswell hasn't been recalled as far as I know, but it is made in China and I'm not comfortable with that.

How can you tell if a treat is made in china? I give Zoey Hollywood stars liver treats. It says JRB Foods Sharon Center, Oh. Is there a way to tell if a co imports ingedients from China. This is so scary. How do I know if something is safe??
