[Ellie May]

I tend to agree with some of your points. "Human grade" has a broad definition. Evidently the wheat gluten that was recalled in the massive recall of 2007 was fit for human consumption. So, we just don't know...

I, however, prefer to know exactly what Ellie is eating and I would prefer that she does not eat feathers (even if only one or two were left behind in good processing practices) and certain preservatives like ethoxyquin.

There is no proof anywhere that dogs need grains. They need nutrients and calories...not ingredients.

Some of the "higher quality" food doesn't work for some dogs. Sometimes the fat or protein content is blamed but it could also be individual sensitivity to ingredients.






As for the antifreeze in dog food, can you post the brand? Are you sure it diddn't say propylene glycol? That is a common ingredient and is not the same as ethylene glycol.
