Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: Question about canned dog food for ferret
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
While Natura Pet foods is one of the few pet food manufacturers that
adds Taurine to their canned Innova EVO dog food line, most of their
canned foods, including the cat/kitten formula only contain 0.08%
Taurine. Whereas the Innova EVO Cat DUCK contains the highest level
of Taurine - 0.11%. I supplement my fuzzies' Innova EVO Ferret
kibble with the canned Duck.
A really good overview of ferrets' nutritional requirements,
including fat, taurine etc. and the importance of exercise written in
an accessible way by Louise Bauck, DVM can be found at:
