Some products say where they are made, but with pet products it is not
always clear which use imported materials and from where. Nor is price
an indicator. Blue Mountain was among the places which had melamine
tainted food from buying imported Chinese protein sources in the past
and is not a low priced food.

<http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/ProductSafetyInformation/ucm295445.htm>
has some useful info.

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/newpetfoodrecalls/
lists recalls.

It might be helpful -- but might not -- to see which companies used
Chinese products during the melamine problem 5 years ago:
