I was pleasantly surprised to hear this:
We have 6 staff veterinarians and 20 other professionals with advanced scientific degrees. Two of our people are fellows to the European equivalent of the AVMA. We have 3 of our plants and do extensive testing with the University of Milan and Naples. Our company has been around since 1965 and is owned by the Russo family.
The food you sampled was tested for 24 months in three published studies for safety before they were put on the market.
Our foods test only slightly higher than the minimums (fat). It would not be over 18.05 - 18.10. You will feed less of the food than others so he will get less fat than you think. |
Wow that's awesome! I asked Farmina (via FB) if they'll consider a kibble w/out potatoes (lolll) & use sweet potato instead. They informed me that the head of clinical nutrition said no sweet potatoes bc it causes oxalate stones in some dogs & it also makes food intolerance much worse due to the high levels of plant estrogen. Very interesting, bc Turbo is my food sensitive guy.
