| It says: At Nature's Variety, our nutritional philosophy is to source the highest quality, safest, and most nutritious ingredients in the world. We look for our ingredients domestically first. In the case of rabbit meat, we've found that the best supply of high quality, human grade rabbit is found in China. Therefore, we are currently sourcing rabbit meat specifically for our raw and canned rabbit diets from a trusted supplier in China. To help ensure that our strict quality and safety standards are rigorously enforced, this rabbit meat is regularly inspected and monitored by the PhD food scientist we have on staff. Additionally, members of the Nature’s Variety leadership team have personally visited and inspected the facility in China. We also employ extra testing (at an independent lab in the United States) to ensure that the rabbit is nothing short of our strictest standards for quality and nutrition. |

| Let me see if I can find a feeding calculator for them. Riley is 2-years old and he is between 8 & 9 pounds. I give him 1 1/2 to 2 nuggets each meal.... but I also chop up about 3 - 4 of the long skinny frozen green beans and a baby carrot...... |

| Ok thanks! Should I give that amount for the first feeding or less? He is on kibble now, should I mix it? |

I have always been able to switch Riley cold turkey with no problems. I would give them a call or shoot them an email. Or if you are on Facebook they have a Facebook page. Contact Us | Nature's Variety | |

With the small amount of water you add, it wouldn't alter the nutritional content in a meaningful way...plus, it adds some nice moisture for the protein content. Ya know how in humans, they recommend not drinking a large amount of water w/ meals bc of how it affects digestion? I think it's somewhat similar in dogs - a reasonable amount is fine/good....a huge amount is prob not as good, but not necessarily dangerous either.
