I agree, but a big problem is that sometimes the ingredients (for instance w/ the dog food recall, wheat gluten) come from China. Then the food is made in the US or Canada...and how do you really know then??? Our food supply (ours and the dogs') is one BIG mess....also the dog toys you mention, children's toys....arggghhhh!!!!!
