Wow, how scary is that?! Thanks so much for posting this. Where can I get Orijen? The food Jillie is currently on, is on the list so I need to change.

We use Nature's Variety and they claim it does not contain fish preserved with Ethoxyquin.

Hello Patti, according to the list California Natural uses Vit. E to preserve it's fish meal, so it looks ok......The author of this article said her eight year old dog developed bone cancer from this ingredient. I would be livid if it where my pet....

This is from makers of Innova, EVO, Healthwise, and California Natural

Natura's pet foods are preserved with Vitamin E (mixed tocopherols -- alpha, beta, gamma and delta isomers) and Vitamin C. We test our pet food ingredients by routine sample to make sure they are free from chemical preservatives such as BHA, BHT, and ethoxyquin to laboratory standards

Only Solid Gold and Blue Buffalo kibble. I sent both companies an email about this awhile ago. Neither use it!

I get Orijen online. The closest they sell it in stores for me is Austin. So if I don't make it up there when I need it, I'll just buy it online

Here's Orijen's website: Orijen
Take a look at the ingredients. It's really a great product. I'm really happy with their Six Fish.

You can find out on their website if they sell in a physical store near you.

Thanks, I will see about ordering Orijen and try Jillie on it.

Okay, I'm confused by this part in the article:

The pet food company that I so completely and blindly trusted, told me the dog food had a shelf life of 25 years! That’s a dog food remaining ‘fresh’ for more than 3 times as long as my dog lived thanks to a lethal chemical.

A month or so ago when I was moving, I noticed one of my bags of Natural Balance that I had just bought had expired about 5 weeks prior to me purchasing it. I emailed NB to find out if it was still safe to feed to my dogs, and the response was to not feed anything past the expiration date. (I just double checked this...I still have the email.)

If this ethoxyquin is in NB, why would I be told not to feed a bag mere months after the expiration date? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of ethoxyquin??

Okay, from this list, what brand of puppy food should I get??

Sandysbabies · 09-07-2009, 06:28 PM

We feed the baby puppy Innovia small bites and canned. The rest eat Innovia and Evo. Hope these are okay. It is so scary. I guess there is really no way of really knowing for sure what we are feeding them.

Thanks for posting this. I have a lot to consider now.
