Performatrin Ultra.. Ingredient list..

I have been feeding the "Chicken and Brown Rice" to my Saint for the past 4 or so months. This is the ONLY food we can feed Bubba that does not cause loose stool and horrible gas.

When I first picked up the bag and looked at the ingredients I was a tad taken back since it's quite a long list.

BUT It contains the Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K activity) which is a controversial ingredient. And the 'egg product' I wasn't too pleased with either but this is what they say about it....

Eggs
All-natural egg yolks and whites provide an excellent balance of the essential amino acids required for growth and muscle development. They are also good sources of fat energy and naturally occurring vitamin E. The Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids in eggs are associated with the maintenance of a healthy skin and coat. To satisfy labeling laws, this ingredient is listed on the bag as "Dried Egg Product" to confirm that no shells are included.

Here's their "what the ingredients are page" http://www.performatrinultra.com/dog/benefits.htm
