I will post this technical problem in Forum Technical Support also.
But my point is if you're crossing the border today and the next few days, there are likely to be problems going both ways.
If you check that you have your pets on a safe kind and can get it on both sides of the border take very little and buy after you cross over. Purina and Iams are two brands I know can be bought on either side of the border.
Your topic here is a differnt slant so we'll keep it open. I don't cross the border so I'm not aware of current border guard procedures.
Is it common to have dog food confiscated when it is in original packaging?
If this is a warning that people might not be able to purchase similar brands on either side of the border as replacement, it's good to remind everyone.

The regulation is there. The confiscation could happen at any time.
But it happens most often when where is the possibility of problems. Examples, are recalls like this one or bird flu in birds.
In the latter case, think of the protein in the pet food. Poultry is rather common and there is nothing on a pet food label that spells out specifically where the protein comes from.
Keeping original packing is important in times like these.
I learned a long time ago to have my dogs on a food that can be bought in either country.
