I have friends whose dogs are nuts about those water bottle toys.
Since then, I've learned to read the labels and NEVER buy any dog food or treats from China. There are several very fine dog foods made here in the USA, but American made rawhide is tough to find. Even things like CET products are made in Mexico now.
I keep looking, though. I can't think of a single thing I've done in this life that would justify the love and devotion my dogs seem to have for me, but I try to earn it by giving them the safest, best quality food and treats available.

tried that link, said domain for sale.
I have stopped buying anything that comes into contact with food..from china..mugs, dishes,etc pots and pans.
I bought some dishes from Poland, Italy or best yet from the USA.
the dog food I buy is from Blue Buffalo..all made in this country.i think Newman’s Own also is produced in Calif. and meets organic standards. I am taking no chances with me or my pupster!Sure, it might be a little more costly..but vet bills or the loss of my pupster is way more costly for me.
For bones, I go to the butcher and get her marrow bones, which she eats raw ( NOT cooked!).
[I use plain old hooves. Dogs love them and they are cheap.]
Lol, that reminds me of years ago when we would have someone come to groom the horses hooves. My little dog, back then, would try to eat them and I would stop him.
I buy all Purina products and have never had a problem.
I am sorry to hear about Muffy. Callie went downhill so fast, within hours. At first we thought she had gotten into rat poison or something but she never went outside off leash. Just shocking when they go so fast.
Would you eat them?
When I had JRT’s, the would tear those stinky things
to but the lasted a month and cost a buck. Dogs don’t need rubber squeekied unless you are talking about tong with pb in them. Not sure where they are made...
Wow... auto correct sucks... sound like a tard..
Maybe China knows...I sure as s**t do not!!
Thank you that one worked.
Looks like I'll be doing some online research because the Purina links in the article were just ads.
