This just keeps going. Thanks for the warning ---I have decided to use only US made and manufactured products and from time to time home made. I just switched the boys kibble back to Innova Evo mixed with plain Innova mixed (for now) with the back to basics I have been feeding them-- and at night they get the Natures Variety medallions--- I feel the best about Nutura (maker of Innova, Evo and Cal Naturals) and Prairie-Natures Variety----

I found rawhide made in the USA from USDA inspected cows. I tossed the cadet rabbit fillets (although the person at my pet store said Cadet is a great company that he knows personally and trusts) the only thing that may have foreign in it that I still feed is the Canz real meat treats-- it is manufactured/distributed in CA but I believe the Venison comes from New Zealand.

FYI: In case any of you use Smokehouse Brand dog treats, they've been pulled off Petsmart shelves after several dogs have become sick. There's no recall yet, but I sure wouldn't chance it. :(

As of this morning, PetSmart has pulled various Smokehouse Brand dog treats off of their shelves. There have been reports of pets becoming ill after eating the treats, and as a precaution, PetSmart has removed the products. There has been no formal recall as of yet.

Here is what the PetSmart corporate office released to the PetSmart stores:

"Today the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) issued a media alert warning some treat products from China may be a potential threat to pets due to 'several complaints from pet owners and veterinarians of illness in dogs.' No deaths have been reported at this time. The symptoms of pets reported sick were vomiting, lethargy and anorexia. To date, testing by the FDA and PetSmart Techinical Services has ruled out melamine contamination that might be making pets sick.

For now, we're going to take the precautionary measure to pull this product from the shelves and contain it in the backroom. Our experts will continue to monitor the situation, analyze samples for a variety of possible problems and ask the vendor to test additonal product. Because of the relatively small number of complaints at this point, we're not issuing a recall. We'll provide timely updates as more information becomes available."

Here is the SKU list of the Smokehouse Brand dog treats that have been pulled off of PetSmart shelves:

7856525052 5108696 Chicken Chips 1lb.

Missy- I'm so sick of these recalls and illnesses related to dog food and treats. I only give Maddie sweet potato treats I make myself and dog food that has ingredients made in USA. It seems there is no end to the China connection causing illnesses in our pets. :(

Marj, I'm glad someone finally wrote an article on the Nutro brand. I've been reading on a ton of different breed lists that people have had serious trouble with this brand. I had a spare bag of one of the sensitive tummy formulas, and even though it was made before this problem was reported, my Maltese wouldn't touch it. And he'll eat anything!
