This reminds me when I traveled for an extended time in Canada some years ago. My elderly Lab was on prescription Science Diet and I brought a full supply with me in the truck because I was unsure of availability and accessibility in Canada. The Canadian authorities, as always, were welcoming when crossing their border. However, when returning to the States, I was subjected to an "agricultural inspection." I was forced to sit in the office and not allowed to go outside of a painted square on the floor- I still call it the plenty box. Anyway, they confiscated the dog food! The label clearly stated, "prescription" so they treated it like illegal drugs! As Ricky said to Lucy, I had some splainin to do! They finally let have the dog food, I was no longer treated like a drug smuggler and allowed to re-enter. I think they were convinced it was from the USA when I pointed out the bags were marked in pounds and not the metric system. Its funny now, but at the time it was an unnerving event.
