I am on the home page of Dog Lovers Gold.
and just as I thought. It sounds good until you go to the Guaranteed analysis spot. these are the only items that they guarantee. all the rest is at their whim. and may or may not contain anything but a trace. NO quantity specified. no GUARANTY at all.(a trace amount is all that is required to say that it has it in the food) and even worse---there is no guaranty that it always has a certain amount.
here is what is says.

no where does it list - in this guarantee. any of these items below, that Fromm does guarantee.
with similar, type products to do the same job.
Freeze Dried Aspergillus Oryzae Fermentation, Aspergillus Niger Fermentation, Bacillus Subtilis,
and what is this derived from-? Beta Carotene--
and what is the Lecithin -- derived from , I will bet it is SOY-- something most breeds do NOT do well with.(they don't say SOY though)
and where do the vitamins come from? are they natural occurring vitamins within products used or are they man made, and if so what country do they come from.????
and everyone knows that dogs do not digest flaxseed the way humans do ---so why use flaxseed,?? so that they can use an inferior fish . rather than SALMON which has both omega 3 and 6 .it is cheaper. and
even though it might be human grade meat, -- where does it say MUSCLE meat, prime cut?????? it should have those words if it is something you and I would eat, intestines, animal feet, but they are,- human grade and eaten by many races of humans, but muscle meat is only the roasts, steaks, those types of meat. they are prime cut, not just human grade. that is how they sell the sizzle--not the meat. it sounds good , but often is just that only sounds. like in the meat case now. you will see Angus beef, what is the other??? dairy cows! natural only means.what it may find in the field, it means nothing.
the advertising is so slick anymore, that the only warning they have to give of something harmful, is to put the ingredient in BOLD print. that is to be your warning, no matter how harmful it may be. sad----we are facing car salesman everywhere.!!!!!
