Impossible to obtain
meaningful data, they simply do not appear to understand the concept of dry
matter analysis and say that their
foods are basically just the same as their ingredients, so if I look up, say,
chicken, that should be sufficient. The mind boggles.
Vitamin D intoxication caused by ingestion of
commercial cat food in three kittens (2013) Wehner A, Katzenberger J, Groth A, Dorsch R, Koelle P,
Hartmann K, Weber K Journal of Feline Medicine & Surgery 15(8) reported on three kittens in Germany who became ill after eating a
commercial food containing too much Vitamin D. One recovered, one was put to
sleep, the third has ongoing kidney damage. The commercial food in question was Almo Nature
Kitten with Chicken food. It had a declared amount of Vitamin D3 of 6488
IU/kg (dry matter) but analysis showed that the food actually contained
202,155 IU/kg (dry matter).
