| Thanks Judy! Your order will go out first thing in the morning. I just wanted to let everyone know that while I didn't find *soccer* balls, I did find squeaky balls in 2 sizes! The company custom prints your logo on them, and they can do it because they are MADE IN THE USA. Yippeeee!! I had to order a ton because of the custom print so they won't be in for 3-4 weeks. I'll let everyone know when they are in. The company is super nice and I hope I can add more of their products. We will be adding a bunch more products in the next couple of weeks and I'll post in the for sale thread once I have pictures of all the new stuff!

| I will NOT buy anything made in China. China does not have good regulations, there is not good or bad part of China, they are all lacking standards that meet safety. If there was a good or bad part, Matell and many big Mfgs wont be recalling millions of Chinese made toys. DONT BUY CHINESE made goods, they are not not the proper safe standards. I would rather pay 30 for a safe toy than 5 for something ridden with chemicals and toxins. Unfortunately I must say this Squeaky Toys are A SMALL DOGS's death sentence. They are extremely dangerous as in that, the squeak comes out eventually, if the puppr or dog swallows it, and it gets wedged in the dogs throat or lung opening. You have one dead dog. I have watched dogs almost die with them. I dont recommend them for any dog. |

I respect your opinion and your observations, and I'm certain that you are correct. However, I am choosing to accept testing on toys made in China for the time being when I cannot find the same products made elsewhere. I also allow my yorkie to play with squeaky toys only with close supervision.

Sure, we have a right to agree to disagree, that is what a good healthy debate or discussion is all about. Allowing each to have their right to their opinions. I have my political reasons as well for not buying China goods. I'll leave that there | |

| Do you mean dog supplies, or everything in general? Because I've been reading labels of everything and there are times when I can't find a certain product I need, say a shower curtain or plastic storage bins, made in the USA. I was able to find towels made in India rather than China, but for the most part I can't find too many products made here. When I do, of course I buy them, but I can only spend so much time searching. I think it's going to have to be up to the big companies to start giving us more choices. Also I do believe we all need to use our common sense when shopping. When something is simply too cheap, perhaps we should look at why that product is so cheap.

| OK you all are not going to believe this (or maybe you are!) The squeaky balls are the *only* product this company sells that is made in China. Why? Because you cannot buy squeaky balls that are made in the USA. The rep sounded as frustrated about it as we all are. She said there was one company that used to make them and stopped making them. UGH! Someone mentioned one on another thread that said "Product of USA" but I Googled it and I got no indication that it was actually made in the USA, so I'm skeptical on that one. Anyway, the squeaky balls have been tested and they are safe, so I'm still ordering them. Right now testing is all we can do.
