| I'm Freaking Out! Did you know this ab Chicken Soup?! I looked on the food ratings today and Chicken Soup used to be 5 stars, but now it is 3! It says the fish meal in it is preserved using Ethoxyquin.They go on to say that this preservitive has been banned or heavily regulated in human food because they believe it can cause cancer. It is still rated as being a 3 star dog food. http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_f...ct=907&cat=all Can anyone believe this?! I'm seriously freaking out! Should I change foods?! |

| I guess the first thing to do is to consider the source of the information. It is very difficult to gather FACTS about dog food. If the information is true, then I would change in a heartbeat. |

| NOOOOOOOOOO... I just got a sample from them and Kona will actually eat it WITHOUT me having to mix wet food. I hope we can find out the truth about this...

| I would think (or hope) that if it was anything life threatening they would be pulling it off the shelves..right?

| I just bought some today for Gracie. She has not eaten much of it. The pet store said I can return it for a full refund if she does not like it. Please let me know if this proves to be true. In the meantime, I will not give her anymore.

| Has anyone tried to contact the company (Chicken Soup/Diamond) about this information?

| This is really absurd to me. Why would Chicken soup put something in it that can cause cancer??!!! Maybe they used it b/c it is found only in miniscule amounts in a bag....that's a shame b/c so many of us buy this product. I think I will switch to Innova, at least it was only 9.00 for my bag. |

I doubt they would admit this is a known cancer causing agent, but they might at least confirm whether this is used in the fish meal. I will probably not buy it again - but drats cause it is one of the dry foods that Sissy has finally begun eating (albeit in small amounts)!!!

| This really sux. I just talked my parents, grandparents, and sister into switching from Pro Plan to Chicken Soup. They are going to think I'm Crazy if I try to make them switch again. |
