I was reading the various postings re: fert food and ended up totally
confused when I read:
"Totally Ferret- Protein(36%), Fat(22), Fiber(1.5), Ash(6.5), Magn(.09)
First 3 ingredients: poultry by-prod meal, rice flour,
poultry fat. (Recommended for kits and adults)"
Here in South Western Ontario, I have been unable to find a supplier of
Totally Ferret food so have been feeding my two little guys "EUKANUBA
Chicken and Rice formula for Cats".
Now as far as I have always understood, the protien and fat content of the
food should derive as much as possible from meat (chicken) and it's
by-products. Thus I was shocked to read the analysis of Totally Ferret
compared to the analysis of the Eukanuba as follows:
Protein not less then 34%
Crude fat not less then 21%
Crude fiber not more then 2.5%
Ash not more then 7%
Magnesium not more then 0.0965%
Ingredients in order: CHICKEN, CHICKEN LIVER, cHICKEN BY-PRODUCT MEAL,RICE
FLOUR CHICKEN BY-PRODUCTS, FISH MEAL, CORN GRITS and CHICKEN FAT
Please let me know if I am wrong (no flames please) but for all of it's
great buildup, Totally Ferret is not any better then EUKANUBA.
