Do not buy what you do not trust. Words written about companies are irrelevant. Only their turnover matters.

You got that bang on !!!!

We don't have to buy the junk from China. There are other ways to shop.
Online shopping from animal rescue groups help needy cats & dogs and also
provide good ,safe products. http://www.ihelppets.com/ is only one of the
options we have. I really don't care that the imported stuff is dirt cheap.
We get what we pay for.

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN ) for 6am. While his coffeepot ( MADE IN CHINA ) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor ( MADE IN HONG KONG ). He put on a dress shirt ( MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans ( MADE IN SINGAPORE ) and tennis shoes
( MADE IN KOREA ). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA ) he sat down with his calculator ( MADE IN MEXICO ) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN ) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA ) he got in his car ( MADE IN GERMANY ) filled it with GAS from Saudi Arabia and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB . At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his Computer (Made In Malaysia ), Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL ) poured himself a glass of wine ( MADE IN FRANCE ) and turned on his TV ( MADE IN INDONESIA ), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA . ....????

I have been doing a little online browsing wanting to buy some safe toys for Sunny and some of her friends. I am uneasy about letting her chew on things made in China so I came here and put "safe dog toys" in the search and this old thread came up. As I continued searching, I found several websites that sell a limited supply of "made in USA" toys. You have to be sure to look for the small section of "made in USA" or you will see their whole inventory and MOST of the toys are not made in the USA. The ones that are, of course, are more expensive. The one I found with the biggest selection is

I also emailed them and asked if they support the SPCA or Humane society and here is the response:

Woof!

We support the Payson Humane Society in Payson Arizona. We picked this
shelter several years ago when we donated Puppy Pulls for all or their
kennels in honor of friend of mom's who volunteered there. Because the town
is so small the dogs and cats tend to stay longer...so they need more loving
care. We decided to concentrate on that facility because it is small but
they have BIG hearts and a wonderful caring staff. We are also members of
the Humane Society of America, ASPCA, and Best Friends Society.

Wags and Licks,

Betsy and Norman

I placed my order and will let you all know how the toys seem.

I just called I Help Pets .com at 888-518-6571 ...
Sorry to report this, but the Nice Lady admitted that
"MOST of our toys come from China."

It's almost impossible to find a USA Retailer or Rescue Group that sells ANY
toy or novelty items that are "Made in the USA" ...
There just aren't any Manufacturers left in the USA that can afford to produce
"low cost" items anymore. Wages, overhead, and insurance drive up the costs of production
WAY past the "affordable" range in into the "forget it" price points.

Sad, sad, situation!
