This is from the FDA. It links back to China…..again! I urge all of you to please buy food & treats for your pets that are made from products sourced and produced in the USA! If it costs a dollar more, it’s cheaper than a Vet bill if you get tainted food or treats……..and that dollar could potentially save the life of your dog! Aside from that, buying American means jobs and a better economy!! READ THE LABELS!!
