When you cross the border now with pets.

I apologize for introducing the phrase 'big time'. Culturally, a phrase with many meanings. I should know better.
Each border crossing is one transaction. If each country is going to keep problems out of their own country, they have to question the incoming traffic one vehicle by one vehicle. 80,000 damaged items means big by comparison.
Just as on Sept 11, a few planes, under 10, made a big difference by what they did.
I can readily understand either border wanting to restrict entry of items containing the category of those which were diseased, ie. any pet food containing poultry.
Now, the reality check that 'made in the USA' is considered acceptable for entry into that country. There is a minor detail not covered by that regulation. In the time of the phoney ingredient from China, which was actually a very dangerous plastic, some of it got into USA made pet food. I never picked up any cases of pet food made in Canada contained said plastic. Like, I said, 'minor detail'. Reality is if your going into the USA, those cases don't mean a thing.
Still, I've always been glad I had my dogs on a made in Canada dog food at that time.
