I have made every effort to NOT buy/feed anything made in China to my pet. I researched these duck/sweet potato treats before finally deciding to buy them. Nowhere on the amazon product page does it tell you where these treats are made, so I searched for the Smokehouse website which claimed that ONLY some of their CHICKEN treats contained chicken from China, but all other products are made in the USA. So, I felt safe in purchasing these duck/sweet potato treats. After opening a bag, and giving them to my dog did I glance at the product origin. Needless to say my dog likes them very much, but I was NOT happy to find PRODUCT OF CHINA on the bag.

Boo hiss to amazon for not putting the product origin on the product page, and to Smokehouse for misleading consumers on their product information website. Why do they do this, because there are customers just like me that care where the product originates. Many of you may not be concerned about this, but I am, and I think it's very misleading not to provide accurate, and complete information about the product when purchasing from an internet store. At least the product doesn't smell like plastic like the Dingo products.

I won't be purchasing these again. My dog seemed to like them, but she won't be getting anymore of them. I took a star off due to the lack of complete information from amazon, and misleading information from Smokehouse.

UPDATE: Big thumbs up to amazon for great customer service. When I called to return this item they were very helpful in processing a refund, and because it is considered a grocery item I didn't even have to return the items. I had also purchased the Smokehouse duck chips, but they too are made in China. I suggested the addition of the country of origin to both product pages. Just another reason why I don't hesitate to purchase from amazon. They truly have great customer service....rare these days.

Like a previous reviewer, I, too, am concerned over the product being made in China. It looks like a very healthy product and my dog loves it but I only care to feed my dog US-based products so that I can ensure the high quality that he deserves.

As others have noted, these treats are made in China as clearly stated on the bag. I didn't like that, but the news gets worse.

On the back of the bag is a statement: "Not for human consumption. Wash hands with soap and water after handling."

If I have to wash my hands after handling these things, I'm sure as hell not going to feed them to my Yorkies!

As expected, Amazon graciously accepted a return.

The FDA has issued a warning about pet treats made in China. You have to look for the small print on the back of the bag, but these are not made in the USA. Please don't trust the health of your pets to Chinese-made treats. I have personally lost a beloved pet. I didn't know about the FDA warning. Educate yourself before purchasing these.

My dogs loved these treats. They are bigger than what I had originally expected. I thought they were a tiny strips of duck meat wrapped around a sweet potato fry, which in a sense they are. They are actually a whole breast or at least half of one wrapped around a sweet potato fry. Much more meat than I expected. These take my dogs a few minutes to gobble up instead of just a few seconds with other treats.

I like the fact that the ingredients only state duck meat and sweet potato, no harsh preservatives you tend to find in most treats, especially ones that come from China.

The cost compared to the amount you get is well worth the price I paid. My dogs go through about 2 of these each a day which a bag will last me about a week or so. I definitely plan on buying more of these, its to bad they don't have the automatic delivery for these as they do for coffee because I would definitely sign up.

I highly recommend these treats.

My dog loves these treats, but I can't think of any treats my dog doesn't love. The treats are hard but only takes my 70 pound lab a few seconds to eat. Based on the other reviews, I will look into this treat containing product from China. If it does have any product from China I will never buy from this brand again.

All 3 of my dogs love these treats. I've never seen them go for a dog treat as they do these.

However, each of them only eats the Outer Duck portion. What they do is pull the sweat potato out and then eat the duck. Pretty cute, aren't they!

I typed "Made in USA" healthy dog treats in search box. These treats were first in list. I understand they are Made in China! Is this true? is it is,
this is completely false advertising.

Don't buy these. They are made in China. I found them on a "made in USA" page on Amazon but that is incorrect.

WOW this dog treat is great. I have three dogs that just love this treat. I order 10 bags every couple of months. Also love the free shipping.
