Have been saving a great deal of money by getting the larger Dog cans of the premium wet food formulas that are identical to their smaller cat labeled versions. (Nature's Variety Instinct, Merrick, etc.)
Unfortunately Merrick has changed their Dog formula and it no longer contains Taurine.
I won't be buying it any longer but since I have an entire case now I'm hoping one of the resident nutrition pros can look over the current ingredient
list and let me know if it looks fine as long as I add a pure Taurine powder supplement like this.
Deboned Chicken, Chicken Broth, Dried Egg Product, Natural Chicken Flavor, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Sodium Phosphate, Vitamins (Choline Chloride, Vitamin E Supplement, Vitamin B12, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate), Carrageenan, Cassia Gum, Guar Gum, Minerals (Zinc Amino Acid Complex, Iron Amino Acid Complex, Manganese Amino Acid Complex, Copper Amino Acid Complex, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Glucoheptonate, Sodium Selenite), Lecithin.
Also was hoping someone could tell me how much Taurine I should be adding if the above ingredients are acceptable.
Thanks so much for your help!
