This is clearly an example of me not communicating well, @LisaMarie12!
Thanks for your thoughts and info. I like NV and feed it in rotation. They're one of the few companies that have kept all gums out of their food (Sebastian is allergic to guar gum). My concern isn't so much the sourcing of the rabbit as it is with, generally speaking, being able to produce a commercially available rabbit only canned food reliably and consistently. I feel this way about any company that produces a single protein novel canned food (i.e., kangaroo, buffalo, etc.) and the potential issues that may arise with their supplier(s). It's no fun when a food that is working suddenly changes or becomes unavailable, and a good reason to have a rotation. Royal Canin was, as far as I know, the first and only company to have a rabbit only canned food for a long time (not combined with other meat proteins). So this isn't a shot at NV or China or France; just my general wariness of availability since I've been burned in the past. I'm excited about a LID rabbit canned food that's not prescription, and I hope they're able to produce it successfully.
@MommyTabby, I used to feed the LID turkey and there were a lot of little bones, some actually quite large and sharp. My cats hated this (such babies). They prefer really smooth pates. Since others didn't have this issue, I wonder if it has to do with different manufacturing plants.
