Thank you for your comment Laura but please, let's look closer at these ingredients.
No, they are not made of plastic but they ARE made of garbage!
They are NOT made with several types of grains. But they are made with one grain byproduct.
If they are so digestible then why do they not break down in the digestion process in our dogs? Why do they swell and cause obstructions?
Here are the ingredients:
Processed wheat gluten (52%) (often used by commercial bakeries to produce light textured breads) Yes, it is a protein from wheat but it is processed, not vital. it is also a grain byproduct and dogs lack the enzyme necessary to digest grains due the fact that they are carnivores hence so many food allergies.
Glycerin (a neutral, sweet-tasting, colorless, thick liquid additive which freezes to a gummy paste and which has a high boiling point. glycerin can be dissolved into water or alcohol, but not oils. On the other hand, many things will dissolve into glycerin easier than they do into water or alcohol. So it is a good solvent) Again, no food value to speak of and certainly not something you or your dog would eat if given a choice, it is a byproduct of making soap)
Natural Flavor (this tells a lot huh? lol what is natural flavor made from? I found that it is a complex flavor that can be produced in a lab where men and women in white coats carefully de-construct the chemical constituents of flavors, then re-create these flavors in the form of highly potent chemicals.
Powdered Cellulose Fiber (A pulp from fibrous plant. Also has been described as sawdust and often used in the making of asphalt, latex-based coatings, cement,loose fill thermal insulations, etc.)
Monosodium Phosphate (chemical raw material, used to maintain proper sodium and phosphate levels in boiler water chemistry at CPSPower Plants)
Monoglycerides of edible fatty acids (yes, the fatty acids may have been edible but here is another byproduct and not a nutritious food source, monoglycerides are added to foods to make products taste smooth and to prevent the oil from separating out in other words, another additive)
Magnesium Stearate (A white, soft powder used as a lubricant and stabilizer. used to bind tablets and make them smooth. Magnesium Stearate is also used in talcum powder, ammunition, and as a drying agent in paints. it may bind the tablets together so tightly that they may not dissolve causing tablets to pass though the body intact (unabsorbed). Did you catch that word? Unabsorbed? as in can not be digested or broken down?)
and chlorophyll.
No artificial coloring added. No preservatives, and no plastics or other inert ingredients.
I challenge everyone to do their own research and prove these are healthy, let alone digestible.
