U.S. pet owners could soon feel the impact of America's intensifying trade war with China deep down in their pockets.

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods. And China's Finance Ministry responded by placing a tariff on $60 billion worth of U.S. goods, starting in June.

Now it's things like pet food and goldfish -- which are currently available for as low as $1 -- that could soon cost more because they are frequently imported to U.S. pet store suppliers directly from China. "In the short term, we'll have to bite the bullet on this," said Joe Hiduke, a sales manager in Plant City, Florida at 5D Tropical Inc., which imports thousands of exotic fish species from China."We'll eventually have to sit down and talk with the major pet store chains and say, ‘hey we can no longer supply what you're used to buying from us at the price you used to pay us.

I know a lot of pet products come from China, but didn't realize dog food did? I knew treats do. I dry my own sweet potatoes as treats. Many people will be hurt, but hey, it is better than raising min wage and having to pay more right? 🤪🤪🤪

So damm what. If we don’t stand up to China they will continue to suck America’s wealth until they have complete & total trade & economic control. And you think pet food will go up now wait until they monopolize markets.

Anyone who can afford a pet can afford their meals. We don't need China to feed our pets. Plus, would make more jobs for Americans.

China makes toothpaste. Hope you dont use it. Neither should you buy any food from China. Look at the frozen fish you buy. Dont buy anything from China. Look at your labels. Play the trump card and we can win the tariff war.

We make our own pets we can make our own pet food. Buy American!

I never buy anything relating to my pets that’s not made in the USA. So screw China.

I would never feed my dog anything that comes from China.

Except for people like me who check the label to see where it's made. Never feed your dog anything made in China. Seriously. Regardless of trade wars.

Feeding you four-legged buddy crap from China is animal abuse.

中国

Yes, my cat food says: made in USA, with imported ingredients. So there it is.

I have a herd of dust bunnies under my bed.

We will survive, for sure.

In Beijing, views of America have become deeply cynicalChina has interests in other countries, but America is an obsession Because here in the US we love their products, technology, and variety of cultures .
