Hi Stacy:
The whole dog journal, to which I am a subscriber, removed the Blue Buffalo company from its approved list in 2009 because the company failed to respond to an inquiry regarding disclosure. In 2008, the journal added "transparency" as a criterion for food approval. The failure of the company to respond got them removed.
As you know, I home cook but also use Merrick products. They make all their products in the US at their plant, use only human made ingredients and make full disclosures on their labeling, and you can see the food actually looks like home made food when you open the can. One of the RI area holistic vets actually recommends and sells Merrick canned. Mine eat canned mostly but also like the dry. They make a wilderness blend but my boys prefer Grammy's potpie and Turducken.
