There was a company called Hillbilly Smokehouse who made chicken jerky in the US under the Cluckers name. The owner of the company tried taking legal action against those who imported their various brands from China. He lost these suits.
Cluckers were quite expensive so I'd suppose that a combination of their asking price and these failed legal attempts is what put the company out of business.
There's now another company making chicken jerky in the US--Kona's Chips:

"Young Pomeranian Becomes Ill from Chicken Chips from China:
Kona’s Chips was born in 2007, when our beautiful black Pomeranian, Kona, became ill from eating dried chicken breasts imported from China.
Our Search for a Healthy Replacement:
Our search for American-made dried chicken breast for dogs began. We started with our local pet food store and searched on-line. We were not able to find an all-American product which was produced in America, processed in America, packaged in America, and sold to American pet owners.
We began experimenting and making our own, starting with 100% USDA inspected chicken. In a few months, we had a healthy all-American product which Kona was wild about—and we were assured that he was safe.
The Three Little Words — “Made in China”:
Next time you are looking at jerky treats at a pet food store, search the label for the three little words: “Made in China”. Often very small, packaging can be misleading. Appearing as a USA product because the product is imported and packed in the United States, an American company name and address is often displayed prominently. Look very carefully and you will most likely find in very small letters, those three little words: “Made in China”.
