All made and sourced here in the US, and their USDA inspected which means that it's human quality food, not the scraps and organs and crap that goes into most dog foods (even in the US, I can't imagine what goes into food from China). I've been ordering it for a while online because I can't find any stores around here that carry it, but I've never had any kinds of problems from them.

Please correct me if I am wrong! Unless a food product is advertised as SOURCED as well as MADE in the USA, I am staying away for either myself or my pets. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Toto, CD,- RN, CGC We don't do- doodles!!!     Barked: Wed Jan 9, '13 2:16pm PST  Actually, I just did some more research and ALL meats imported to the US from ANY foreign country for human consumption require USDA certification of the plant it originates from. Therefore, I am even MORE skeptical about these treats being made from USA meats. If they WERE sourced from meat from the USA I am sure they would state that information as much as they do the Made in the USA!! BTW, USDA certification only means the plant has been inspected and passed. It does not mean that ALL meats exported are tested individually or that inspections occur on a daily or even weekly basis. Someone else mentioned this earlier, but if there can be so many issues with imported HUMAN BABY FOOD, supposedly inspected and certified, how can we trust meat??? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
