This topic probably belongs in the "health section" but i figured more people would see it here.

If the mods or admin don't like it here, sorry...lemme know and i'll delete it, or move it.

the actual "Alert" by "The American Veterinary Medical Association" is here: http://www.avma.org/press/media_alerts/070914_jerky_treats.asp

To be honest, its tough to trust anything from China. So many recalls on foods, treats, ect.

Its best to just get something, if possible, locally made. That is, if you don't want to make your own.

I have actually heard a lady on CNBC say that we should all just shut up about China putting lead in the toys and poison in the food. I looked for it with Google and here's the clip: CNBC-China is ur buddy! --Rediculous

You are wise to avoid anything from China, but everything is from China, it seems! We have an embargo against Cuba, but one of the most notorious millitary bases and detention centers we have is in Cuba. Meanwhile, we are importing communist Chinese goods like it is going out of style, mainly due to consumers not having enough money to pick and choose, only to settle for the least expensive.

But then if you try to make your own treats, you will find that most of the internet recipies require wheat, unless you are willing to cook some beef liver in the oven overnight. Mine was crispy in the morning with a stank that left the apartment reeking for days! Or there is Liver Biscotti: Biscotti But that is purdy pricy, for me. You could use hotdogs, or get chicken breast from the store and dehydrate it yourself (possibly?!) but then again, what did that chicken eat? You don't want to know! So, ultimatly, I just choose to look the other way, and consider myself good for not feeding the dog anything but human grade food-and I have to wait until I can buy some land and raise my own chickens until Bella or I can really eat well!

i feel we have enough other products out there that we dont need to buy chinese products,sometimes people dont read very carefully ,it may say an american product, or company ,then in small writing made in china,must be very careful.i want a shirt that says boycott china!

Latest recall on product made in China: leukemia drug tainted with some other drug. Looks like our medicine is being made over there too. What hasn't been caught yet before we take it. Total madness.
