| Does Natural Balance contain Ethoxyquin ? I was wondering if dick van pattens natural balance dog food contains Ethoxyquin The vet suggested this dog food for Pixie and I wanted to know if anyone else feeds it to their dogs and if it is a good quality dog food.

| Sorry to say, yes it does....Vets typically don't know much about nutrition, just what they where told by the pet food reps.....

| Their Natural Balance food rolls actually said "no ethoxyquin" on them but I remember it being mentioned their dry food does contain it. I still don't think it's a bad food. And it's way better than the rest. IMO, it's better than vets recommending Science Diet, Iams, or Pedigree.

| See NB's response in post 10 of the thread you started in March. They had a different response from them in post 29. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ght=ethoxyquin

| I remembered the thread (but not that it was yours) because I was confused by their responses at the time. I think I get it now, finally. Crystal, from what I've read this seems like such a minute amount. And I understand a lot of it is removed during the cooking process. How do you feel about this level of ethoxyquin in foods? I think NB is a good food, especially for special needs pups, but I'm still not sure where I stand on the ethoxyquin issue.

| That's partly why I've been so confused about the issue.

| It's all a bunch of crap honestly. I don't mean the food. I mean the politics behind it or whatever we're calling it now. And then the thing with Innova. I'm just happy I have one little dog that I can cook for at this point.

| I think the fish formulas only. They told somebody from YT how many parts per million, so unfortunately it does.

| I get tired of it all. Innova was a huge disappointment. If I didn't have entire crew to feed, I would seriously consider home cooking for mine.

If a product works for you and your pup is healthy eating it and it's a good quality food, why would you care what anyone say's. NB has stated and another thread has the letter from NB, that it DOES NOT have Exoythcoin in their food, fish products yes(due to government regulations) but not the regular foods. Why some keep saying yes is beyond me. | |
