I’m curious Bill if a kibble that has peas/legumes high up the their ingredient list but does not displace meat being it’s main protein source is safe. I feed Stella Chewy’s kibble albeit as a VERY small portion of my dogs diet. Primarily their fed Primal, Bixbi and Stella’s freeze dried. Home cooked from our meals when appropriate. I Dr. Mikes reviews as a starting point on what to feed. So I’m going by reviews of Stella’s kibble as showing an abundance of meat even though the legumes are high up on the list. A little confused about this. Dr. Mike never lowered his 5 star reviews even when the legumes were high on the ingredient list. So i imagine you can have the peas but a high quality kibble would still have the majority of protein coming from meat. Hope I’m making sense.
I’m hoping that the study comes back that it’s not the peas causing low taurine but the peas being the main sauce of protein and meat protein lacking.
