Thanks for that info about weruva, crossing them off my mental list. 'State of the Art' phfffft, that doesn't mean anything to me...where are the ingredients sourced is what I would like to know.

Thank you for that! If there's scientific studies to back it up, they NEED to do something about it, not ignore it.

Sorry Patti, I see it
Is this the one you're feeding:
Natural Dog Food, Cat Food and Puppy Food for Pets With Food Sensitivity – California Natural
Carrageenan is the 5th ingredient, so there is sufficient amount to cause concern. Esp since they're so small & eating it 2 x's a day. Can you possibly get a refund for the remainder of the unused cans?
