I urge everyone to do their homework. The FDA monitors and implements the regulations for Vietnam, so it's generally fine, as Vietnam meets all the requirements to be imported into the USA. In terms of tech, China is a major no no! However, Vietnam has been on the rise in the past couple of decades. Back to SmartBones is where some of the latest cell phone testing and development takes place. Please be aware You should check the back of every bag once you have ordered it. In the case of stamps that state "Made in Vietnam" and smell familiar there should be no trouble. Whether it is made in Mexico or not would be a concern to me. Neither the smell nor the look are the same. This is not necessarily a sign of a poor quality product, but I recently received one Due to cost savings, I purchased 2 of the 24 mini packs instead of one 32 mini pack - The reason is now clear to me.
We carry pet food and bones that are made in the USA. Ingredients need to be traced back to their source. It is common for companies to purchase ingredients from China and then make them in the U.S. This way they can put the USA logo on their product and people will just assume it is the desired product. The company that makes the product should be able to tell you where the ingredients are from if it does not specify where they are from. Otherwise, you should simply assume that The company Pet Naturals of Vermont is one example of a company that is trying to trick you. Even though the bags have the American flag on them and are labeled made in America, the actual product is not made here. This company consists of an imported ingredients factory located in Vermont that makes the imported ingredients in Vermont. This information was provided directly to me by As far as I'm concerned, it is misleading.
A puppy of any breed could be content with a puppy of this size. There's no way to really tell how old my dog is. He weighs It's been 14 years since she turned 14. The first one is about a year old and I give her the second one for a They are good to her and she never has any issues with them.

He would beg and beg for them unlike ANY other treat he had ever had. I probably fed him these bones every once in a while for about 6 months. As a result of the diarrhea and constipation, he began to have pooping issues. In addition to getting thirsty after drinking them, he got thirstier than usual after having them. A couple of days later, he started having bloody stool, so we brought him to the vet to be checked and it came back negative. As a result, he began scooting A LOT (something he had never done prior to any of this) and his anal area started becoming raw and sore. The vet told us that the anal glands in his neck were only half full when we took him to the vet. Because it took me so long to recognize that the bones were the problem, I was upset with myself. It has been almost 2 weeks now and we still have no bones. He generally seems to feel better and looks like he is healing in his back. He scoots maybe 2 to 3 miles each day. For three days in a row, it was all day before the event. I want the blood work done and to make sure everything else is okay. I have the blood work from last year to compare with. I find it so sad that these bones are so IF YOU GET YOUR MOUTH ON THESE BONES, DO NOT EVEN TRY. A DANGEROUS situation. I didn't think it was worth it.
Upon doing some research, I discovered that it's the sweetener they use in these, dogs bodies can't process it. As a result, I decided to just give him different kinds of natural dog jerky. From that point forward, nothing has gone wrong. There are really a lot of pet owners who are concerned about giving their pet food and treats without fear that they will hurt them.
THe dogs love these smartbones, which we have regularly brought in for five years, ordering them 67 times during that time. We regularly brought in American made ones, which is one reason we bought them regularly. Our problem is that they are now made in Vietnam, so we don't think their QC is still in China. It made our dogs sick, they would have constant diarrhea, as others have written. We had the end of the story when our two dogs pooped five times in the house, something they had never done They stopped eating Smart Bones and were switched to another treat after two days. Within two days, their diarrhea was gone. There needs to be a ban on these.
DO NOT BUY! NEITHER BUY NOR SELL THIS NOW! THE PRODUCT IS NOT THE SAME! These Mini Peanut Butter Smart Bones used to be a favorite of mine. They WERE made in Vietnam, so I cut them in half and was worried about their quality. Nevertheless, they are like crack to a dog. It wasn't just that they loved them, they loved EVERYTHING about them. Since they were children, they got one every night after their greenie! The latest shipment I received from Amazon, however, came a couple days ago. As I looked at the bones, I noticed that they looked quite I was bothered by their size and color, since they were much darker than I expected. When I usually give my dogs what they want, they take it right out of my hand, but with this package, they both sniffed it and hesitantly took What an odd thing to say. Both dogs threw up the remains of this bone this morning after one had diarrhea, and one had diarrhea last night. I gave them a bone last night after dinner as usual and NOWHERE did I get any takers! To see if any changes had been made, I examined the package closely. Yes, they are no longer made in Vietnam. Now they are made in Mexico. It appears that there is something wrong with the Amazon has my product and I'm returning it to them. I would NOT recommend this product to your dogs if it is made in Mexico. The problem is that it does not make sense!.
There will never be another purchase of this product. This is the kind of treat we used to give to our dog, who loved it. But after a short time, we noticed his stomach was starting to swell, he had bad diarrhea, he was very lethargic, and he just didn't In addition to being extremely thirsty, he would also become extremely hungry.
Once we stopped giving him the pills, he no longer seems lethargic and his puppy energy returned and he has no diarrhea anymore. We have found that our dog's health is affected by something in the ingredients, and reading the reviews, it appears other dogs are having the same issues, too.
In the event that you receive Smartbones that are made in Mexico and look like those on the left, they are not genuine I'd describe these as bad fake candy that looks and smells bad. It is the third time I have been in the position to ask for a refund - twice from Amazon and once from Chewy's. The two of them both returned my money without having me return them, so I think that they just want to get rid of the bad batch and refund my money without making me return Furthermore, this order is auto-shipped and I am disappointed that Amazon does not offer to replace it. With true Smartbones, there will be no stomach issues.
Due to the fact we were making these in the USA, I used to buy them often. Then my dog got sick after eating one, and I realized they are made in China now! The fact that I am no longer able to get these is so upsetting. Raw hide chewable bones that are made in the USA are extremely difficult to come by. This is a real.
It has been about a year since I started buying these. I love their smell & my dogs do too A lot of people have an addiction. My dog vomited and was incontinent, as I had read many reviews about it The food made me sick after eating it. In the past few weeks, my two dogs have also experienced the same thing. Similarly, I've eliminated every other possibility just to ensure these bones are the culprit. There will never be a time when I will give these to my dogs again, and I am throwing away the other two bags I have. Buyer.
