Sorry, didnt mean to offend you. I have just researched every food out there and believe LA is the best. I like for people to know that it exists. I have seen animals lives turned around because of this food.
Maybe your can doesn't have canola oil, but if you search the Wellness site you will see that some of their dry and canned has it. There is a lot of controversy over whether or not to use canola oil as a fat source for dogs. I don't like it, it is harder to digest then a animal fat, such as chicken, which is in LA.
Wellness also has been recalled and was in a lawsuit last fall, not sure the outcome. I will research that is well.
Great Companions -- Nutrition Information, good nutrition results in better behavior Canola Oil: I have serious issues with canola oil, which is short for ‘Canadian oil’. There is much controversy over canola oil and whether or not it is a healthy oil. Opponents of canola oil claim that it has been used for years as a light industrial lubricating oil, that it is genetically engineered rapeseed oil, which is a member of the mustard family (it was also the source of mustard gas), that it has been classified as a biopesticide because no insects will eat it. It has been linked in in Europe as the suspected causative agent for Scrapie in cattle. It is a transfatty acid, or a partially hydrogenated oil, which has been linked to cancer in humans. However, as of 1998, the EPA states that no studies have been done on toxicity in humans. Proponents of the oil claim that it is very healthy. But because of all the controversy, I’d stay away from canola oil! There are many other healthy oils to choose from, and dogs tend to do well with animal oils.
