Yes
Colorado Naturals treats are made by Colorado Pet Treats in Denver, Colorado. The company's About page says "We slow-roast the products in our own state-inspected facilities" from "raw ingredients obtained from USDA and/or FDA inspected meat processing plants," and its homepage banner reads "All Natural Ingredients All American Made." Its Colorado Naturals product pages say "All of our meat is sourced from USDA-inspected plants and processed right here in the USA," the beef jerky is "Produced in the USA" with "100% all-natural American beef," and the salmon treats use "100% all-natural wild Alaskan salmon."
| Product line | Made in | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Beef and bacon jerky strips and chips | Denver, CO | Made in USA |
| Salmon jerky chips (wild Alaskan salmon) | Denver, CO | Made in USA |
| Lamb jerky strips and chips | Denver, CO (lamb source not stated) | Made in USA |
One gap: the lamb jerky pages describe "high-quality, lean lamb meat" without saying where the lamb is raised, so the country of origin of that one ingredient is not stated, even though the treats are processed in the USA. The company was founded in downtown Denver in the 1990s by Galina Kasel and is now based at 12601 E 38th Ave.
How we checked: On 2026-11-01 we read the Colorado Pet Treats homepage, About page and its own product pages for the Colorado Naturals beef, salmon and lamb jerky chip treats.
