Hi all... I have had a number of private email in my response to Jackie on Nutramax and Nutro...telling me that Nutro had a "MAX" food as well...I responded to a couple but I thought that I would just post to the list as it appears that I need to clarify further..... I know that NUTRO has a number of different levels/mixtures of dog food....however, since Jackie's email read "NUTRA (with an "a" - not an "o" ) MAX...I was only trying to clarify that NUTRAMAX is a DIFFERENT brand than NUTRO... that's all.... ie....see below "...They have representatives from Heinz Pet Foods, Bil Jac Pet Foods, Nutramax, Purina, Iams Co., Nutro and others. Other members are from the rendering industry and the Pet Food Institute. (exerpt referring to the Association of American Pet Food Control Officials (AAFCO)... (I "bolded" the "Nutramax and the "Nutro" ) _http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04/Perhach/PetFood/Regulation.htm_ (http://iml.jou.ufl.edu/projects/Spring04/Perhach/PetFood/Regulation.htm) Pauline Moon - Member: GSDCA(merica) & GSDCA(tlanta) Ropaja German Shepherd Dogs-Ch Ropaja's Chateau Beaulieu OFA HIC; BIS Ch Ropaja's Chateau Beaujolais OFA HIC; Ch Ropaja's Fils De La Rue OFA; Ropaja's Viva L'Endimanche OFA; Beecher (GSD-Retired Seeing Eye Dog) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
