Is this some kind of typo or what?
« on: April 04, 2013, 11:13:10 PM »
Saw a Tweet about this store now having Canine Caviar, http://primepetsupply.com/product/canine-caviar-holistic-open-sky-duck-and-chicken-pea-grain-free-dry-dog-food/ EXCEPT I couldn't find an ingredients list. After all, those are some big claims there, so I wanted to see what was in it.

I doubt the claims of this food (that I can't get without ordering online) are really any more truthful than other company since it's kibble, but was looking at it anyway...then I saw something that made me shake my head worse than the Montmorillonite clay in Nature's Variety:

My guess is it's in there as a sort of calcium supplement, in addition to the calcium pantothenate.
