Thank you very much for sharing the article. My aunt owned a beagle and a poodle two years ago. They are very spoiled, and they would always get treats from my aunt and even the relatives when they are visiting. One day, our aunt called us and she was really devastated because the beagle, Brutus, suddenly became lethargic. They took him to the vet, and the vet told them that the dog has urinary problems. They didn't know the reason why because they always buy high-quality dog foods. When the vet asked them to list down all the foods that Brutus might have ingested, they realized that the treats they are giving him are mostly made in China.
Brutus survived, but now treats that are from China are banned at their home. I am not bashing the quality of products produced by China, but it's just alarming that the pet food coming from there are often laced with harmful chemicals. I no longer buy treats, either for my cats or dogs, if I found out that it is produced there.
