Because Blue doesn't add it, they don't have to list it. Ethoxyquin is usually burned off in the food processing cycle, but they do not test for it, nor can they insure that it is completely gone from their product before it is offered for sale. What if someone turns the oven off early for a batch here and there? The only way to be sure you are not feeding it to your dog, is to not feed them anything that contains fish.
Ask them who they buy their fish from, and contact that company. |
Good information thanks!!
I've used Blue Buff for over four years with Prince, and since Dec. with Ian and have never had a problem, although Prince never had the Blue Bits and Ian just tried half of one. When we adopted Ian, I started feeding him the Blue Buff kibble with salmon and brown rice because he was having an issue with dry skin. The kibble, although it has salmon in it, never bothered him.
I wonder what other kibble is premium with omega 3s?
