Hi Maria… When present, ethoxyquin is typically found in rendered fish meals and thus, dry dog foods. It’s only rarely found in fish meat used to make wet (canned) products.

Sometimes, fish formulas contain euthoxins. ( i know im not saying that right)…..Does this one appear to? I’ve noticed in some reviews you specify and in others you dont……..Thanks!

Hi Ellie… Grains (especially whole grains like oatmeal) contain fiber. And some of that fiber is “fermentable”… which means the dog’s normal intestinal germs have the ability to convert some of that fiber into gas. A reasonable amount of fiber can be a good thing for most dogs… but it may or may not be appropriate for yours because of the IBD. Hope this helps.

mike; i understand
i am just trying to find out if the oatmeal can cause gas and burping; or the white rice.
i am not familiar how these carbs are digested and how they affect the fat content in the food.
thank you for your help.

Hi Ellie… I can certainly understand your concerns for your dog’s inflammatory bowel disease. However, the main purpose of the Dog Food Advisor is to review and rate dog foods and not to recommend a particular product for a specific health issue.

I wish I could help you more, but since I’m not a veterinarian, I haven’t been properly trained to provide you with the kind of sound professional advice you’re looking for.
