Brett, good point. However, I would like to compare their
information to what is found in premium cat foods like Innova and
Felidae. Some feeret food companies make a big deal about the
vit/min levels of their foods being superior to cat/kitten foods. I
would like to know how significant the differences actually are. I'm
not having much luck probably for the reasons you listed above.
