Made in the USA for Dogs: Chews, Treats and Food

I, like many other pet owners will not give my dogs any treats, chews or food that is not made in America, and that is not from a reputable company. Especially with the recent issues with tainted dog food from companies that use products from foreign countries, and our increasing knowledge about the need for proper nutrition for our canine friends, I absolutely refuse to buy a product that is not made in whole from the USA. This however often makes me hard pressed to find chews and treats for my pups made solely in the USA. Each week I travel to the pet store to see if I can find a special treat or chew for my dogs that is made only in the USA. This has proven to be a difficult, although not impossible task. Each package of chews or treats that looks good from the front is turned over and scanned for the "Made in" label. I am often disappointed. I share my disappointment with the pet store staff who often appear surprised that there is a lack of American made chews. If you compared this list to the list of products offered in the pet stores, you will see a huge imbalance of USA made versus China, Brazil, Thailand or Argentina made products.
