I am very protective of my dog, so the story about dog treats is scary.

When buying dog treats, unfortunately, I feel I need to check where the item was made. I bought some dog treats a while ago at Target, and I was surprised they were made in China. I am glad I returned them, soon as my dear wife, noticed where they were made. I remember the stories from a couple of years ago, 2008, about the contaminated dog food due to ingredients from China, that killed a number of dogs. I wrote some blog posts on it. I am surprised that 7 years later, this is still an issue.
