Merrick Food - What Does This Mean?

[Freedom]

OK, I just did a google search to figure out what this alphabet soup meant.

SRM's are Specified Risk Material of carcasses. I found this report from Canada which banned SRM's from dog food after a case of Mad Cow Disease. I didn't read all of it, or all of the thousands of "hits" I got in google. But this may help.

The proposal is to ban SRM's from "all animal food including pet food." I guess that means SRM's currently go into farm animal foods too.

Should you use Merrick? Beats me! Can you even find another dog food which voluntarily does not use SRM's? I'm not sure how you would go about that, as I don't know if the labels SAY "SRM's used."

Hope this gives you some help.

I wish Fenway could talk and tell me what he wants to eat. But he'd probably say "Taco Bell & McDonalds".

Thank you for the info.

And don't forget, extra ketchup for those fries!

I know, mine are the same way.

I always thought Merick was good. I used to feed it to my cats but changed then to Natural Balance.
