Guest BrianRke Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I carefully search all packaging for the Made in China stamp. A lot of times they try to hide it or put "A USA Company" on the lable, even though it was made in China. Does anyone else do this? Am I just paranoid? I wouldnt want to take the chance.

Guest CampWhippet Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'd never knowingly eat a food product from China nor feed it to my dog. I also read the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4ANap Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 As hard as it is to do, I try to buy nothing from China. Period. It's not feasible for most electronics, but we do try to research other things and find an alternative. Food of any type, human or doggy, no way! Quote Camp Broodie.

Guest BleuDog Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm VERY careful, too...... BUT.......... the treats like chicken jerky (originates in China) that Costco and Many other fine dog supply places carry-----if it has been irradiated........I think one is OK, for humans and puppers........

MaryJane Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm very careful about treats and feed nothing that has anything from China. Like you, I'm also careful to "see past" the made in USA statement and try to check where the "ingredients" originate from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabozem Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Definitely not and a huge NO WAY! I wish everyone in this country could boycott Made in China crap. Unfortunately, that's very hard to do. Remember the days when WallyWorld bragged about having only American Made merchandise? Sam must be spinning in his grave these days.

Hardly paranoid. I can't remember what the food item is, but there's some new issue with something undesirable that just popped up again in their food or drug supply. I'm too lazy to try and google it and find it, but it's just in the last couple of days. I feel that if they can't keep their own citizens from eating (and dying) from poisons in their food, who knows what is making it out of the country? Definitely no treats or dog food for us that is made or sourced in China. I also won't buy anything knowingly labeled as coming from China for us to eat. I find you've REALLY got to watch it at Trader Joes. They source a lot from China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sheila Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 heck no! They poison their own babies over there. I normally don't get excited about the little things but when I read that companies were substituting/adding toxic things to the formula they fed their own children that was all she wrote.

Guest june Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I don't buy or feed my girls treats made in China. Occasionally I'll have someone bring a bag of treats for the girls that have been made in China and I re-home the treats to someone who doesn't mind if it is made in China. I have to add that I don't feed my girls very many store bought treats at all. I bake dog biscuits, dry yams with my dehydrator and freeze dry liver for treats for my girls. They also get things like hard-boiled eggs, tiny bits of hot dog and pieces of boiled chicken. They do get the occasional Milk Bone because they absolutely love them, but I stay away from products made in China. june Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montgomery2524 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Mine love the dried strips of chicken. So now I buy them from www.konachips.com where the chickens, the food they eat, the processing of the treats, the whole works is in the USA. If I see China on a dog treat I skip it. And your right about Trader Joe's. I picked up a pack of tilapia from the frozen section and it was from China. Didn't buy it.

Fruitycake Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 They are still having serious problems with control of their own food supply there. Melamine in baby formula, added to milk for human consumption, lead in toys sent out of country, and who knows what other crud. If they don't mind adding it to food they keep in their own country, I certainly can't see them caring if it ends up in the US or any other foreign country! I do have to admit that I don't feed many treats to the dogs, though. Their food is USA made [Taste of the Wild] and they say they don't use stuff from China [have to hope they're "truthin" on that], and treats are chicken feet, turkey necks, pieces of fresh meat from our foodlines, so they're pretty much not getting stuff from China.

Guest sheila Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 for treats my dogs are over the moon for plain old cheapo hot dogs. I cut them up into bite size pieces. You can also nuke the pieces till they are 'chewy'. Yes they are salty and all that, but since it's just little bites and given just as a treat I don't think it's going to harm them.

My DW and myself deliver Meals On Wheels in our city and yesterday we had our annual volunteers party. We all got a coffee mug with t he logo on it I looked a t the bottom of the cup and it is made in China. Don't want to use it now. I too gave up the Costco chicken strips for Konaschips also.

Guest meggera Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'll be honest, since we just got our girl I hadn't even considered this.
