This week we?re featuring four fantastic fish based grain-free kibble recipes that you will always find on the Hungry Hound shelves.??As you know, kibble requires a binder in order to hold its form and to be extruded into its shape.??For the 4 brands featured here,?Orijen and Fromm use potatoes, Nutrisca?uses chickpeas,?and Nature?s Variety?uses?tapioca as their binders.
The fish in ALL four of these featured foods?are are?ethoxyquin-free.??You will NOT?find ethoxyquin used in any food or treat sold at the Hungry Hound.? Banned from use in human foods, Ethoxyquin is used to preserve the fish meal found in many pet food formulas as it is the cheapest preservative available. You won?t find it on your pet food label because it is added before the fish meal arrives at the pet food manufacturing facility. Ethoxyquin has been used as an insecticide, pesticide, and rubber stabilizer and is listed as a hazardous chemical by OSHA (Occupational, Safety and Health Administration).??
