Hi Mary-
Yes, goldenstar is correct. It was actually not myself, but another regular poster Aimee, who was able to determine that THK does not actually fall into line with current feeding recommendations for LBP’s. The problem is that the NRC (National Research Council) and the AAFCO require any diet over 4000kcals/kg to be corrected for energy density. All of THK’s formulas are well over 4000kcals/kg. When corrected for energy density they are no longer LBP safe.
I do not want to get off on a tangent myself about holistic vs traditional, but personally, my beliefs and what works for me and my pets is traditional medicine. Science and scientific data have always been my friends. Holistic has not worked for me or my pets, so I do not go to those methods. Unfortunetly, I also find that some aspects of holistic medicine go against the code of ethics and oath I took even as a vet tech student.
