There are a number of USA made treats for $19.99 a pound, or less.  This product is not cheap.  I wonder if they are hard or soft.  Does not include any ingredient panel.  Does not exclude rice.  Leaves lots of questions.

100% Wild Sockeye Salmon

Sounds like the sole ingredient is salmon. 

It's listed for cats, too.  How about a crosspost in the Cat Product section?

I'll add them to the food and treat by brand forums later on.

All salmon? Already have treats that are 9.99 for 16oz from www.platopettreats.com made in U.S.A. without GMO's, no by-products, etc. Now have a smaller 6oz for 5.59 at my local Pet Supplies Plus. And Plato's has chicken, salmon, duck and kangaroo strips too.

Still haven't seen these in my Costco......however, they now carry a big bucket of Buddy Biscuits but it's way too much for one dog.  I get my Buddy Biscuits in Trader Joes & it's just a box of them, not a huge bucket.

I want to try these but not sure when they'll have them.....
