don't buy your christmas ornaments at walmart!

I bet they are made in China. :D I spent a few minutes looking at the web site to see where they are made. I wonder how well they they are made.

I don't have anything against China. I just wish so much of our manufacturing wasn't going overseas.

yeah, the other day I was looking for chewy bones that are made in the US. BOY HOWDY was that tough. But I refuse to buy anything pet food related that isn't made here in the US by a small company.
I swear that the food we were feeding our great dane was what killed her. And here we thought we were doing the right thing by feeding her the Eukanumba all natural lamb and rice.. :mad:

Jack our new terrier is quite a chewer, so I need SOMETHING he can chew on and not completely destroy in two seconds.. :confused:

Running Mommy,

these are simply the best toys for dogs, your chewy dog will love them and ..... proudly made in the U.S.A.

www.kongcompany.com

on the other hand I just gave Mae (mutt) a rawhide chew from www.castorpolluxpet.com , it's made in Thailand and proudly says on the label "no humans were harmed in the production of this product".

kongs are great.

I have no experience with these antlers but they're natural and made in the USA.

(Um, well... except fine woolen garments, that is. Only NZ's finest merino wool will do. Though, wait!!! Now that we have an Icebreaker store in Portland can I claim it's local?? :rolleyes: )

Did you know that Ice Breaker garments is no longer made in New Zealand, but in Shanghai ????

but they have done their best :

Oh, dear, Icebreaker....

I have a very chew-oriented dog, and he loves the Kong "Goodie Ships". You can stuff cheese or training sausage or peanut butter, etc into the holes and it keeps the beasties busy for a loooooong time. http://www.amazon.com/Dog-Toys-Kong-.../dp/B000H4F9KU

Another good trick is to take a regular Kong and wrap aluminum foil over the bottom little hole. Fill it with yogurt and dog food and freeze it. When you leave the house in the morning the gradually melting yogurt keeps the dog busy for a good half hour or so. (at least it keeps my dog busy)

I also have the Dental kong stick thing, and you can jam peanut butter or cheese into the grooves on it. My dog isn't so interested in the stick, though.
