The Pro Plan Chicken Slices are great! I was trying to replace other types of dry chicken tender-type treats (Waggon Train), which it turns out were made in China, and I found these, which I verified are Made in the USA. The only part of this product that is imported are the nutrients, according to the company, but the chicken is from the US and the Lamb is from New Zealand. The company can't source the nutrients (vitamins) in the the quantity needed here, so they import them and test them, but the product is then manufactured here in the US.
The representative on the phone told me that most of their treats are made in the US, a couple are manufactured in Canada, and that one treat she thought was manufactured in Columbia. I asked why the label on the product just says distributed by Nestle Purina Petcare company in St. Louis, MO, and that the label doesn't say manufactured or "Made in the USA," and she stated that the FDA doesn't require that a label state "Made in the USA," if it is made here. The FDA requires that if a product is made in another country, that the name of that country be stated. I told her it would probably help the company, and consumers, if they would actually state "Made in the USA" on the label.
At any rate, my dogs love these. I have subscribed for delivery on this product, which lowers the price a bit, and also saves me the time and money of having to go to Petsmart to purchase them. That way, I always have them in the house. I go through about a bag every two weeks for my two dogs, a Sheltie and a Chihuahua. Hope this info helps you! Thanks!
