Made in the USA


My guess is that there is a land-office business underway, right now, repackaging rawhide chews made in China, Thailand, and Mexico, and putting them in "Made in the USA" packaging. The markup from this grift would embarrass a crack dealer, and who would check? The penalty would be ridiculously low, and since almost none of these fly-by-night chew toy companies have a name to protect, the real business model would be to sweep earnings out and overseas every week, and to declare bankruptcy soon after the first question was raised.

    Grifters gotta grift. What's a dog owner to do?

    Also doesn't have to be high quality chicken - a pack of the cheap boneless skinless thighs makes a ton of training treats in minutes.

    Yes, like M, it is totally simple to make your own jerky. I make mine with beef. In fact, it's not even necessary to put in the oven; can be air-dried using AC filters and a box fan.
