My dogs like these treats and they do not have a lot of calories (35kcal) as compared to other treats. Also, I verified with Natural Balance and was told that all of the plants which manufacture the Natural Balance Dry, Canned, Treats, Rolls, Pouches are located in the United States, with the exception of our Delectable Delights Stews and Wet Cups which are manufactured in Thailand by a state-of-the-art USFDA-approved plant.
