Why did you remove Salt, Inositol & Bacillus coagulins in all the dry dog
formulas?
Salt beyond the minimum requirements is simply unnecessary and has a negative
perception when
found in natural foods. Inositol has no proven benefits to dogs, thus
no purpose in the diets so
therefore it has been removed. Bacillus coagulins does not
survive well from the food to the gut.
These removals reinforce our commitment to
ensure every ingredient has a purpose and is
beneficial to the animal.
Why did you add Glucosamine to Original Pork Meal & Chicken Meal Formula,
Small Bites, Senior and Reduced Fat?
Our consumer research showed that Glucosamine was the #1 most important
supplement to
consumers and the most expected supplement to appear in Eagle Pack
formulas. In fact,
most
consumers thought that all the Eagle Pack varieties already
contained Glucosamine.
We added
this beneficial supplement to the whole line so that
it could become one of the
main, foundational,
differentiating benefits.
Why did we remove Phylloquinone (Vitamin K) & Bacillus coagulins in all the
dry cat formulas?
We removed it from our formulas (it was listed as Phylloquinone) because there is
enough
Vitamin
K naturally occurring in our ingredients to meet the minimum
requirements
established by AAFCO
Bacillus coagulins does not survive well from the
food to the gut,
so we have chosen not to include
it as an ingredient any longer.
What is a “multi-cat” formula? What type of cats is this food for?
This formula is targeted for multi-cat households where the owner prefers a “one size
fits all” food
for all of the adult cats in the house. The formula has the right amount of
fat, calories and fiber to
help cats keep a healthy weight and maintain digestive health.
What is an “indoor” formula? What type of cat is this food for?
These formulas focus on fiber, calories and skin and coat health for cats that live a
more sedentary
lifestyle and are constantly grooming. Hairball management, weight
control and litter box odor are
issues that our Indoor Formula helps manage.
