Ingredient concerns
- Poultry By-Products (medium concern): While 'poultry' is more specific than 'animal,' the term still encompasses multiple species (chicken, turkey, duck, etc.), making it less transparent than named single-species ingredients. Quality and digestibility vary based on the specific parts included.
- Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (high concern): Menadione (vitamin K3) is a synthetic form of vitamin K that has been banned for use in human dietary supplements in many countries due to toxicity concerns, including potential liver damage, allergic reactions, and cytotoxicity. It can cause oxidative damage to cell membranes. Natural forms of vitamin K (K1 from plants, K2 from bacterial fermentation) are considered safer alternatives. Despite these concerns, it remains widely used in pet food as an inexpensive vitamin K source.
