*This was not for their treats, but there was a FDA Recall on September 11, 2012 for their dog food.  Also, not information on where the treats are made..hmm..

Dogswell Treats for Adult Dogs

The following table highlights the popular treats by Dogswell.  An "x" under a category indicates that this product has ingredients that are widely accepted, but not always, as useful for that specific indication.  For example, ginger has been used in Asian cuisine for thousands of years for its taste, but also for its medicinal properties.  Although its benefits have not been proven in dogs, I am safely assuming it has similar capabilities.  If you don't want to take the risk, read ingredient lists thoroughly and avoid what you don't feel comfortable with.  I hope these tables help you in your decision making!


*The entire line of Dogswell Jerky, not jerky bars, are made in China.  The company addresses many concerns, such as the FDA warning, and why they choose to use China for their factories: 
Dogswell Quality Assurance


Personally, I give my dog the Vitality jerky bars with chicken and veggies and the Vitality jerky bars with turkey and veggies.  I feel comfortable with them because I trust the ingredients are hopefully as they say, and they are made in the US.
