This review is from: Dogswell Happy Hips for Dogs, Chicken Breast,15-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3) (Grocery)

Originally, these were made in US. Now made in China ( see back of bag) ... advertised as natural,cage free, no hormones, no fillers, no antibiotics ...HUH? Not in China... I will not trust these as safe treats. Follow up: My dogs vomited after they ate these. 3/09 original warnings from FDA 2007 re: chicken product from China... a follow up was issued by the FDA again on 12/18/08 to remain vigilant and of concern if fed to smaller dogs.

Update: DEC 2011 All chicken Jerky remains a problem according to the FDA (product from China noted again to be of concern)
Some dogs made ill from chicken jerky product recovered with treatment and others have died.
The email from my vet stated that the FDA would like you to report if you have a problem with chicken jerky treats.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE: MADE IN CHINA, October 16, 2009

I'm disturbed that these treats, as many reviewers state, are so "addictive." My dog, too, loves them but has now begun to shun her meals and will only eat these treats. In trying to make sense of her current state of anorexia, I recently became aware of the FDA advisory on Dec. 19, 2008 stating that one of the symptoms to be aware of in dogs eating chicken jerky treats made in China is "decreased appetite, although some may continue to consume the treats to the exclusion of other foods." So be very wary of the fact that dogs seem to go crazy over these treats. Although the Dogswell Company states clearly that their product is not contaminated, and that third party testers have confirmed this, do the owners of the company truly know what's happening in China behind the scenes? Or who might get paid off to test certain batches of jerky? I and my vet have been unable to come up with any other explanation for my dog's anorexia, except that it coincides with her increased interest (and now ONLY interest) in Happy Hips since I began treating her with them last spring. Thankfully, her kidney function is still fine, but if you research this on the web, many other dogs were not so lucky and died due to kidney failure.
See this link to the FDA website suggesting caution to consumers in using chicken jerky products from China. Be informed! [...]

I had bought this product last year my dog loved them, but... I subscribe to a couple of Bichon Frise newsgroup and they are saying not to feed these to your dog as they come from China I threw out what I had left for the outside critters in the forest. I called Dogswell today and they verified that even though they say U.S. on them they are still coming from China.
