[QUOTE="donna723, post: 581226, member: 1883"] You have to be REALLY careful about buying dog treats. I just don't buy them anymore because there have been soooo many recalls. The manufacture and marketing of dog food and treats is not regulated and monitored nearly as closely as it should be. Contamination of ingedients can occur very easily and foreign matter may find its way in there too. And usually more than one brand is affected because a manufacturer will sometimes make several brands in their facility, just different labels, and cross contamination happens all the time. Some of these treats are imported from other countries where their health regulations are not as strict as ours. But even buying treats labeled "Made in the USA" is no guarantee. Pet food manufacturers are allowed to label their products as "Made in the USA" even though many of the [I]ingredients[/I] are imported from foreign countries and are more likely to be contaminated. And something else I've noticed ... they are often v-e-r-y slow to recall these products when a problem occurs. There have been many instances where rumors of certain products causing illness and even death in pets were going around for months or even [I]years[/I] before the product was actually recalled and removed from store shelves. You just can't be too careful ... [/QUOTE]
