Coming from China is this product irradiated? My hounds love this product but I'm hesitant to give them treats made out of the USA.

My 2 dogs love these treats as well - but must admit, with all I have read, I am VERY hesitant to continue giving these to them. We have switched back to Greenies for the time being. I am sure they are like "hey wait - what happened to those delicious jerky treats mom??" But as others have mentioned, there is a lot of information (and unanswered questions) listed on the below FDA link -Like every pet owner, I love my dogs with all my heart and want to do what is the best for them and in my opinion, these treats are just not worth the possible "risk".... http://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/safetyhealth/productsafetyinformation/ucm360951.htm

I feel the same way. I wish there was a way that they could get it in writing that it is OK for the pets to eat these. My dog loves it also.

The problem here is the amount and quantity of antibiotics used in China that are illegal in the US. They have been linked to deathsin countless dogs including my own. The FDA has many records online you can read about this. The antibiotics are still in the product.

I bought it for my then girlfriend, Leslie Horn, and gave it to her while in Barrow, Alaska, for her dog, because everything is very, very expensive up there in Barrow. I did not read the package to find out about that.

This product is irradiated according to the manufacturer, BUT I am still concerned about Chinese treats in general.

Not from China. Proudly made in the USA. Expiration date on my bag says 4/01/16 so they are "good" for another year and a half. And now that I have moved the bag to read it, the dogs are whining for treats, so hard or not, they must really be "yummy."

After further research I found they were made in China. Go to the Kingdom Pets website and they will tell you about their testing process. I would not have bought them if I knew they were made in China, but after reading their website I decided to let my dogs have them. They loved the treats, and had no ill effects from them, but I will not purchase again, as treats from China killed my last 2 dogs.

Good question with all the garbage coming out of China. The label states "distributed by Del Monte Pet Foods" but does NOT state where it's ingredients are made?? It does provide a toll-free number 1-888-MILKBONE for questions; if you call, they verify that ALL ingredients are from here or Canada and are safe and when they must "out source" from the "global market", they insure NOTHING comes from China. My dog has had NO ISSUES with these, so again, GOOD QUESTION, thanks!!

I was worried about this product being produced in China, but have had no issues for past two years. I feel because they are 100% dried chicken, and the reputation of PCI they are safe. I have bought some of the chicken jerky made in USA that my dog has negative bowel reactions to.

I've never looked at the box to see where they're made. No where on the company web site [that I could find] says where they're made. I worry about the Chinese [chicken] products. All I know is that my dogs have never had any problems digesting greenies. Sorry I couldn't directly answer your question.

Hello, according to the package they are MADE IN THE USA. I am not a China product person as there has been way too many bad items put into our pets foods. I highly recommend these treats as they are the perfect size for my pugs.

Yes they are a product of China. Never, ever had a problem with chicken jerky from China and that is over many years of dog lives. The China prohibition is making good treats very hard to find. Our local COSTCO sells the Cadet duck dog treats and I applaud them for that. Have been having to look far and wide for anything my old dog wants and she lives for her good treats. Eleven years old and going strong.

As far as I know all the ingredients are from the USA. It is definitely Made in America. I don't feed my pets anything made in China. The only thing my pets get from outside the US are Brazilian Rawhide and some treats made in Canada.I think your pet will enjoy this canned duck, mine did.

The wrapper says Made in the USA. These have not made my dogs sick, we have tried the sweet potato and bacon and cheese. This brand of bones is used by Warrior Canine Connection, a service dog organization with very high standards. I hope this helps. Diane

No, that's the reason I buy it. It's USDA, Proudly made in America. I was buyingdog treats at Costco only to find out the meat came from China. Not happy about that.

On the packaging, it states that they're sorted and packaged in the USA. However here's a blip from their website: "Most of our Himalayan Dog Chew (made with Yak and Cow Milk) comes from the shaded region (in the map to the right) of the Himalayas in Nepal. Remaining come from a Dairy Farm (made with Cow Milk) in Moses Lake, WA." So yes, a tiny region of the Himalayas is located in China, but I think that these treats shouldn't be lumped in with the other inferior and potentially dangerous treats coming from China. These aren't the typical factory made junk products we've all been told to avoid.

No, they are made in china. I check the info on the Cardinal Labs. They do not have made in the USA anywhere on the package. If you search dog training treats made in the USA, the real ones come up. I ordered the brands that popped up on the search and they smell fresher and are made from real meat.

They say that they are made in the USA. I have used them with my Greyhound and she loves them. I was using the Greenies brand however those seem to give her loose stools. With the Blue Buffalo Dental Chews she doesn't have that problem.

This product is made in China but checked in the U.S. My dogs have eaten it for years. Duck seems to be ok. Stay away from the chicken.

Great question. I looked and yes, they were, they are from the USA. They were made in Franklin, TN. For anyone else reading this getting foods, treats, rawhide, etc from the USA is extremely important. Imports from other countries, especially China and South American, have cause many illnesses and deaths. Buying American made when it comes to your pets isn't just a good idea, it could save their life.
