As usual for NV, lots of unnesseccary fruits and vegetables. And honey? What on earth use does a carnivore have for honey?
These pet food manufacturers have gone berserk.
I became curious about NV & I sure won't be using it for convenience on road trips!!! Though it doesn't list the tapioca that the dry kind does, the raw still has something in it called "Montmorillonite Clay". Well I don't think that stuff belongs INSIDE any living body if possible to avoid. It's chemical make-up is alarming with all the info about the silicate.
http://faculty.unlv.edu/bbuck/Dana/CIR%20expert%20panel.pdfNow the bit I remember from Chemistry had me looking it up and I was right about the part that silicates are a salt or ester of silicic acid--especially 1 of a large number of usually insoluble salts with polymeric negative ions having a structure formed of tetrahedrons of SiO4 groups linked in rings, chains, sheets, or three dimensional frameworks. Silicates constitute a large proportion of the earth's minerals and are present in
cement and glass.
Want to know what silicic acid is?
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/544289/silicic-acidNope, I don't like what I remembered of silicates. I don't think I want that stuff inside of me when possible to avoid, so I'm sure I don't want it inside my dogs. I'm pretty positive there's a better way to get trace minerals besides ingesting that garbage.
Let's not even get going on the tapioca part that's in some of the rest...Time magazine listed tapioca as one of the world's top-10 most dangerous foods:
