I order a box a month from amazon - now they're gone. I don't know what's going on either.

They are from China. Costco discontinued them after receiving a LOT of pressure from "pet interest groups" and then brought them back one more time, but I've noticed they are gone again! There is a strong lobby regarding this and I suspect it's partially political. Pet products are a billion+ industry and veterinarians and large pet food suppliers are not wanting "foreign interests" cornering their market, where they can charge prices that guarantee HUGE profits! My 3 dogs have been enjoying these chews for years and they are 14, 13 and 5 years old. HOWEVER, they are used as a treat with no more than 2 chews a day...NEVER as a meal. They shouldn't be used as a meal! Recently I bought some chicken chews and printed right on the package instructions it stated, "No more than 25 chews a day" Really, I thought! That's just crazy that you'd have to tell a pet owner THAT! No wonder they "MIGHT" end up with cancer! Also, be wary of the chews that say "Distributed in the USA" That doesn't really say where they are coming from, does it? Hope this helps?

You are so correct. I realised it after I bought it. In fact, most of the ingredients in it are nothing but junk. You have no idea how pissed I was that deceptive labeling trying to push chemicals and preservation. I did some research and found a website www.onlynaturalpet.com. customer service 888-937-6677. They sell a product called Only Natural Super Daily Canine multi-vitamins item #999010. 270 tablets for $31.99.This is why in cases like these I'm very suspicious and cautious of anything that's made in the USA. One must really research...Its great to see that other people are becoming aware of deceptive labeling not just for our pets but for our food also. I hope this info helps. You are so correct.

Thank you for asking. I brought them to the office and they are long gone. The now-empty container does not have that information. Not only were the packages mini, but the bears were mini too. Fun. Hopefully you can find the info from someone who still has a bag on hand.

I'm sorry, I only bought one bag and I used it some time ago and the bag was thrown out. I can tell you my dogs loved them; I split one piece between my two terriers each morning. These seemed very lean & meaty, although I know you can't tell by the appearance. There was something about the 'wholesomeness' that prompted me to try them, and I would get them again (I look for sales).

I do not know because they are all gone. Might want to try the Kong website direct.

They have dog treat mixes also on Amazon. It is cheaper to search on the internet and get recipes that way.

You can contact them and ask. Try chuckit.com and they have a place you can email them. I don't have the packaging anymore so I don't know for sure. I do know these are the sturdiest balls I've found for my dog. I've some of them for three years now and they still look brand new.

I have been using this brand of dog treats for a coupe of years with no problem. Being made in the USA does not necessarily mean all the ingredients were also from the US. I wish it were so. Even then, there have been many recalls (due to contamination), of various products that were and are 100% USA grown or produced. Our government does not feel it is cost effective to staff enough people to check our and our pets food so we just have to take our chances!

Here's an apparent statement by Newman's Own Organics:"Newman's Own Organics pet foods are NOT part of the mass recall by Menu Foods or the extended recall. We DO NOT use wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate in any of our pet products. All our pet foods are made in the US and certified organic by Oregon Tilth, a USDA accredited certifying agency."http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=389x774322

Someone here said they contacted Pedigree and was told they were discontinued. They still show the product on their site. I am going to contact them and tell all my friends and family to do the same. Maybe with enough interest, they will make them again.

They sell them at any pet store really. You're looking for more of a pouch with a zipper type bag for this since these don't have the plastic post. It will be with the other dog waste items - aisle. Try Petco, Petsmart...

Well Rian, your question should be directed to the either the maker or the seller of the Yummy Chummies. I, too, have noticed my latest bag has much firmer treats, appearing to have dried in storage, and I am definitely not pleased. Even though they are harder, the dogs seem to like them all right and are able to chew them anyway.

**NO LONGER MADE IN THE USA!!!*** Hey guys -- a quick head's up. I used to purchase this product for my dogs because I confirmed directly with the company that the duck was raised and processed in the US. I noticed on my last couple of packages that there was no longer a "made in the USA" sticker so wrote to them again today to find out if this was just an oversight. Following is the text of the email response I received. Needless to say, I will need to find another place to get treats for my dogs: "The current stock we have is currently not from the US, it is from a different manufacturer. The duck is from China, but it is FDA tested and approved. We unfortunately lost our old manufacturer. We are very close in getting a new manufacturer that makes the duck in USA. We know our customers would prefer that. We apologize for this inconvenience."

Thank you for your question. At this time we do not carry any dog food. That's not to say that we won't in the future, but it's not in our immediate plans. Thank you for choosing Rocco & Roxie for your dogs' treats!

Yes, I did notice that the chews were much smaller in size. For a medium size dog, it should be bigger ... And the price has shot up.

I don't think I can find it anymore. It was a while ago. I but so many treats for my spoiled little girl. She really likes these though and it's good that they are only 10 calories a cookie. I do not subscribe to Amazon Prime but maybe I should because I buy a lot from Amazon. I already have Netflix and we are happy with that.
