i wil be sure to look for natural balance too! thanks!!

here is the response i received from merricks:

Hello,

Mr. Merrick owns and operates several companies. However, Merrick Pet Care does not use rendered products in any of our pet foods or treats. Merrick uses only the highest quality, all natural, human grade ingredients in our products. We purchase all our meat from USDA inspected facilities to provide animals with nutritious and healthy products.

Rendering is a recycle process that converts waste animal tissue into stable, value-added materials, such as fuel, soap, rubber and plastic. Rendering solves what would otherwise be a major health and disposal problem.

We also have our own testing labs and we test for many things to ensure the safety of our products.

Please be assured that no rendered materials are ever used in Merrick foods or treats.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.



Thanks,
Cyndi
Merrick Pet Care
