By the time I saw this thread, I was so worried - but happy to reach the happy beginning of a new lease on life for Ralph!

I agree with the others, Sandra - I'd worry less about the additives(especially if they are 5th or further in the ingredient list), as long as Ralph is EATING! I hope he likes his new healthier food.

There are definitely flavoured junk foods for pets! I tried some Whiskas on my cat - and he would be a medicine ball by now if I had kept him on it! All flavours and junk - and it even has the vet seal on it.

And with all due respect, I love to quote Erma Bombeck: "To heck with natural foods. At my age, I need all the preservatives I can get!"

I am two years into a special nutrition program myself, so I totally understand and respect your point of view. I just love that quote!

Any more updates?
