I bought some cheap treats. I skimmed the ingredients in the store, didn't see corn, and tossed it in the cart. Oops.

I was breaking them into itty bitty bits and found grain hulls, stems and feather bits! OOO I was mad!

So I read the ingredients more carefully:

Chicken, Autralian meat meals, wholegrain flour, soya flour, sucrose, clolours and preservative, antioxidants, added vitamin and minerals

Min 25% proten
Min 6.5% crude fat
Max 2% crude fiber
max 4% salt (apparently salt is one of the "minerals" ?

OK - so what the heck is "Australian meat meal" Sounds like it is a lower grade. USA meat meals can't contain feather, for example. I'm not finding any legal definitions of this stuff online.

Obviously I'm not giving this stuff to my dogs. I'm not so much concerned about the feathers as I am concerned about the sugar, salt, colors and preservatives.

Anybody know anything about this type of stuff. This is a poduct of Australia. I am wondering if it is not subject to USA regulations or something.

One last note - it says REALLY BIG on the back "PET FOOD ONLY" hmmm....
