Nature's Variety Instinct Rabbit - Canned
« on: July 21, 2014, 04:33:12 PM »
I do better being able to search by brand AND flavor.  Often a brand is okay, but I (personally) have issues with a particular flavor.   Silly7

We are currently sourcing rabbit meat for our raw diets (including our exclusive freeze dried rabbit Bio-Coating™) and for our canned diets from a supplier in China. In order to ensure the quality of these suppliers, members of our management team have personally visited and audited the facilities. Nature's Variety also has a PhD food scientist on staff in China, who visits the facility and monitors meat quality. In addition, samples from shipments received from this supplier are submitted to an independent lab for testing. All results of testing and auditing have matched our specifications for quality and nutrition.

This is part of Pookie's rotation.  I'm not thrilled that it's sourced from China, but he needs the variety.  And it's (usually) one of his favorites.

I fed it for a while also.  My cats LOVED it as well.  I mean happy dance loved it.  We all just have to weigh the pros and cons of the ingredients list, company info, our cats' situations, pocket book, etc... go from there! 

IF you are interested, I replaced this brand with By Nature Rabbit.  The cats do the happy dance with this brand also.   Silly7

I haven't seen By Nature in my pet food store.  I did find Hound and Gatos rabbit, but Pookie wouldn't touch it.   :(   :'(
