KONG

This letter is in response to a Nutra-9 e-mail.

Thank you for your question regarding the country of origin for KONG toys and treats. All Classic KONG natural rubber products are made in the US and have been for over 30 years. All KONG Stuff'N Treats are made in the US and are manufactured in FDA and USDA/APHIS approved factories. All ingredients are of US origin with one exception: rice flour from Italy. Additionally, all KONG Stuff’N treats are tested for quality assurance by independent USDA approved laboratories. Together these lines represent over eighty percent of all KONG products.

 The remaining KONG products: Air KONG (tennis ball toys), KONG Plush, and KONG Wubba are made in China. These factories are under strict KONG supervision and have proven to produce reliable and safe products. All imported product lines are tested by independent laboratories to prove they are safe and non-toxic. Once products are received in the KONG warehouse they are again subjected to strict KONG quality control procedures to further ensure our KONG products are the finest available. No KONG product, toy or treat has ever been involved in a recall.
