| Can you post a link to the website, and confirm the date the information was provided? Some of the brands you list as being bad have supposedly been re-formulated.

| I'm in the process of changing Sophie's diet over from Eukanuba to Wellness due to the ethoxyquin issue among other reasons. Sophie really likes it and I think it's healthier for her.

| I can't speak for all brands on the list, but I know Ethoxyquin is in a least a few. For example, Nature's Variety doesn't add it to their foods, but it is already in their fish flavors, which according to them, is federally mandated. So they essentially get a loop hole to say they they don't use it. |

| This is an email from NB: Hello, Thank you for contacting Natural Balance regarding the concern you have with the fish products used in our diets. Natural Balance does not use ethoxyquin to stabilize any of our products. However, it is required by law (U.S. Coast Guards and FDA) that all fish meal being transported before processing contains ethoxyquin to prevent decay of the product. Once it has entered processing, heat dissipates the ethoxyquin. Some large pet food companies continue to add ethoxyquin to stabilize their products. Natural Balance DOES NOT. We use Naturox, a natural preservative, which contains citric acid and vitamin E. Natural Balance is committed to providing the finest quality food for our companion animals, and is taking all the steps necessary to insure that this happens. We also suggest that you take some time to look over our “Buy with Confidence Program” (www.naturalbalanceinc.com) in which we post ALL the testing that has been done on our products. Before our products ever leave for distribution they are tested for the following contaminates: aflatoxin, DON (Vomitoxin), melamine, cyanuric acid, ochratoxin, fumonisin, and zearalenone. Soon to be added to this group of testing is E-coli and salmonella. Further, the FDA recommends that ALL pet food companies test for vomitoxin, aflatoxin, zeralenone, ochratoxin, and fumonisin. At this time Natural Balance is the ONLY pet food company that is testing for these contaminates. Furthermore, potato fiber/protein is derived from white potatoes. In regards to the Sweet Potato & Bison formula, samples are not yet available. However, I will send you some coupons. Have a great day! Sincerely, Kristi Choy, B.S. Manager, Customer Service Animal Nutrition Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. 12924 Pierce Street Pacoima, CA 91331 Office l (800) 829-4493 Fax l (818) 897-4740 Website l www.naturalbalance.net
