[Woogie Man]

I guess I should have been more clear about the whole flax seed. I've read that you want to see 'whole flax seed' rather than just 'flax seed' as an ingredient. For a kibble, either would have to be ground up but the whole seed is the one that is supposed to be better. What I mean by 'natural' as far as vitamins go, it would be vitamins derived from food sources rather than chemical compounds. I'm thinking that's why Nature's Logic uses so many food powders. That way, nutritional content could be accurately controlled and measured. The one chemical compound I heard of that worries me most is mendione dimethylpyrimindonol bisulfate which is used for vitamin K. It's been associated with dogs chewing their paws and I found one source that stated it has been banned by the EU (European Union), though I couldn't find any other reference to such a ban. I'm just mainly trying to go as natural as possible in a kibble and I much prefer natural source vitamins for myself and would like to find a similar product for my dogs. Frankly, I'd like to see a food produced without added vitamins so I could give them to my dogs separately and would be able to control the quality of the vitamins better. Hope this explains what I'm looking for a bit better. Thanks, Ann, for your input. Jim
