Thanks for the info!

I am going to be trying the horizon pulsar line: http://horizonpetfood.com/index.php/pulsar/

My worries about legumes were alleviated by their answer:

“To answer your first question, phytic acid and lectins are thermolabile along with trypsin inhibitors, tannins, hemagglutinins and other anti-nutritional factors. The extrusion process gets to a high enough temperature and pressure that these are either severely or completely inactivated.”

That and the minerals are chelated which help with absorption as well.
