Hi there,
I certainly share your concern regarding MSG - from a personal standpoint though - I have epilepsy and MSG is one of the triggers so I avoid it at all costs. One thing to point out...

Just a quick comment about the weight gain on CaniSource, I know from experience that the guidelines on the box are a bit high (most dog foods are this way). If your dog gains weight, simply reduce...

Label terms
I thought I would add some common label terms and how AAFCO defines them as well as this goes hand in hand with the ingredients - this is from the Feb 09 issue of Pet Age:
