Mimimomo...I know you posted a link to info on the guar gum and from what I read last night it appears to be a source of fiber in dog foods (if I remember what I read correctly, it was late) and if you get too much fiber, yes, it can cause nausea, cramps and diarrhea and fiber also naturally reduces cholsterol in humans. So, is the information on that page relevant to humans or dogs?

The canned food states it is for supplemental feeding only...like mixed with dry food. I didn't find anything bad about guar gum in dog foods on the pages I read.

Am I missing something or am I understanding things correctly?
Looks like nice ingreds to me . I always like foods that don't have a billion ingreds too, ya know? Especially when it comes to allergy dogs. I hope this food works for you, I know you've had such ongoing trouble with allergies and I so understand those frustrations.

If the food you're looking at says 'suppl feeding', then it's prob intended to be either temporary or to be mixed with something. Are any of the formulas considered complete diets? Or is there a reason you want suppl feeding? Some of their formulas aren't AAFCO, right? If they aren't AAFCO, you could feed that formula on a temp basis...but I'd be concerned for long term...
