Is this dog food made in the U.S.A? I have 3 Poodles. Is the nutrient content good?

The nutrient content is very, very good. It is made in the US. I believe that a couple of the ingredients are sourced in China. Diamond makes a lot of the foods out there that are high end. They had a problem back in 2010. It was corrected and there have been no problems since then. The dogfood advisor.com gives it high ratings. I use it and Taste of the Wild which Diamond also makes and I have been very happy with both foods.

Yes, it's made in China. I have now taken my dogs off all of these treats. Not because they had any bad effects but because of all of the warnings. I now buy "Smoke House" because they're made in the USA. They only have the chips and I look for only the ones with the label on here that state Made in the USA. For example the "Smoke House" Prime Chicken & Beef (Turkey) chips are made in the USA but the Duck chips don't state it, so I won't buy it. The dogs love them. Contrary to other reviewers I have 2 small dogs and the size of the chips seem fine for my 11 lb and 15 lb dogs. I could see where a smaller dog say under 6 lbs might have a hard time chewing the chips. Yes, it's made in China. I have now taken my dogs off all of these treats.

I had a similar concern two years ago and wrote the company. One of their vets wrote back, that at the time, it is manufactured in the US but includes raw materials from other countries. I got the sense that was some of the vitamin/mineral components and not the meat/vegetable components. Again, it was two years ago as well and that might have changed so you may want to contact the manufacturer to make sure that's still the case.

**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."

Yes - Newman's Own is made in the USA ... I believe there is a N.O. dry dog food for active and Sr dogs that has more calories. Not sure about salt content but you should contact them at http://www.newmansownorganics.com/pet/contact/ for more specifics.

Hi, I bought this a while ago and didn't keep the packaging, but on petsmart's website, it says made in USA. It's made with vegetable coloring too, in case you want to know. Hopefully I helped you, I know many people on pet forums recommend these, so I figured it was made in the US. You can see for yourself on PetSmart's website.

I recently just had the same question and contacted the company. This is their response: While we understand your concern, we hope we can ease your minds. We have many Made in the USA products, but this bone comes from India as it is buffalo and not readily available in the US. ALL of our products are tested by an independent lab and are manufactured in a food-grade safe facility. As pet owners ourselves, we take great pride in the effort we put into ensuring the safety of our products. We hope you can let your pets enjoy this treat feeling confident in its safety. Also, please check out the treat finder feature on our website which allows you to search for treats using the criteria you select. I recently just had the same question and contacted the company.

I've read on the packaging that this product is 100% sourced and produced in the USA. Before I knew about the problems with Chinese chicken and how ill dogs were getting here in the US, I learned the hard way. My Beagle became extremely ill, began bleeding from the GI tract and had to be put on a course of antibiotics. It took her a long time to heal from this terrible food. Then I began reading about how ill so many other dogs were getting and some even died. However, thankfully, there are alternatives and I am happy to say that my dogs have never for an instant become ill eating these treats. I hope this helps. However, if you are still in a bit of doubt, I would think the manufacturer would not mind a phone call asking for a confirmation of the safety of their product.

Yes, I would not have bought them if they were not made in the USA or Canada. All my pet foods are either made and sourced in the U SA or Canada.

That is the first thing I check because I will NEVER feed my dog kids anything made in China. I also share posts on Facebook regarding Chinese-made treats for dogs. You can buy these at pet stores as well like Petco and Petsmart. My only problem with them is they don't last long since I feed the smaller treats to my larger dogs. These are made in the USA. They are not like the normal Nylabone long-lasting chews, these are chewable, grain-free and made from natural ingredients.

Yup. Says right on the container "Made in USA." My dogs are hearty eaters, have good digestion, and are healthy. I like this stuff. And so do they. my only problem is that the container is rather large in diameter, and I have small hands. Getting it open is a bit of a trick. Hope this was helpful.

My container only says "Made In USA" It gives no country of origin information on the label.maybe look here for what it may mean. http://www.petmd.com/dog/centers/nutrition/slideshows/what-does-made-in-the-USA-mean-for-pet-food

Joeann, it does say manufactured in the US and I believe that. What I cannot substantiate (or haven't asked, actually) is whether or not all the ingredients are SOURCED from US/Canada made sources. For example, any company can manufacture something in the US, but where they get the "raw ingredients" may be from many countries--and China, with its absolutely unregulated standards, is the leading source for much of the ingredients. Vitamins are one huge example. That's why you are mightily careful which brand of vitamin you use--even if it says "made in the USA." You have whetted my curiosity and I'll send off an e-mail to their customer service. Always use e-mail for then you have the company's response in writing which causes most honest companies to be very honest, less honest companies to try to squirm around your question and dishonest companies to ignore you e-mail---just send it to them 20 times a day--and then to the FDA. Also check Pet Food Advisor, an on-line, invaluable source for food and treat info. Now that the company reforumulated the product, my dogs do digest them easily, with no sign they have eaten anything green and no chunks. They have one once they are on the bed, ready for bedtime--their evening brushing. A ritural for over 10 years.

I agree with Brian, although "made in China" this product is getting high ratings. At Christmas 2012, I know 7 people who received them as gifts and ALL have said how happy it made good Hot Dogs. Since then, I purchased two for birthday gifts and they really enjoyed them. You will be happy regardless where it is made. Happy Dogging, Tim
