Wow thanks!! :thumbup: Good to know! |
Wow, that's scary! Do you happen to know off-hand if Acana has it? I'm looking at the ingreedients online now because the food is in a container not the bag, and there are so many names for it lol. Thanks again for posting this! |

For dry food, I have been feeding her Bil Jac which scored a 0! And then the vet put her on Science Diet, canned food. It also has a 0! I am absolutely sick right now. And neither of these are cheap. I am paying $26 for 12 cans of Science Diet and $18 a bag for Bil Jac. I will be changing ASAP. |
