    Concern about Merrick BG dry foods...

       I don't know about any of you but the inclusion of this ingredient in their pet foods REALLY bothers me : Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide

     

      Here's some info from Wiki :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylenediamine_dihydroiodide"

     

       Here's a link to the MSDS Safety sheet on it :    http://www.durvet.com/MSDS/156_MSDS.pdf


      Why would they not use a safer source of iodine like potassium iodide ???  I find this information disturbing  and think I'll avoid this food. Any of you who have dogs that are particularly susceptible to allergies should probably think twice about feeding it.  Leave it to Merrick to screw up what could have been a good thing. Just par for the course I suppose judging by their overall safety record.  Why the FDA would  approve this for any kind of animal feed is just scary to me.

    I feed Merrick and dont see this ingredient to be a hugely partiucalr threat. Why not write Merrick and ask them about it? They are very responsive to inquiries.
