Hi,
It is Pingfords Porridge and I have my guys on it, its a really good
supplement to their diet, it has no grains and it includes the bone
and my guys love it, she also has a new formula for IBD babies and
ones with chicken sensitivities made with beef, venison and elk thats
been very well received too.Pingfords red,
It comes dried and you reconstitute it as necessary, most of us give
one feeding of soup a day and now they get Pingfords instead, but I
don't believe it is meant as a replacement for their kibble but rather
a nutritious supplement to their diet. It would be a good addition to
any diet but especially if they are recovering or ill or insulinomic (sp)
As far as the taurine levels go, I am not sure, I would email and ask,
I do know she has it tested in a lab for its content and I am sure
being it is all meat that it does contain natural taurine.
The only way to find out the percentage is to ask her!
