This food claims to benefit dogs health in a lot of different ways and was the very reason I was trailing this on my Toy Poodle x Havanese...however I discovered that they use BHA and BHT as the antioxidants in the formula. They don't state this specifically in the ingredients - only written as 'antioxidants'

I am health conscious about my dogs and BHA and BHT are artificial chemicals used to preserve foods and prevent oxidization of fats and oils (hence the word antioxidant) these chemicals considered to be carcinogenic.

Unfortunately I won'...

My dog eats it, and didnt suffer from any of the skin rashes that other dog owners reported.. but its 2013 guys and were a first world and (fingers crossed) progressive and eco responsible population .. so I'd like to know why Optimum isn't using recyclable packaging and wont be buying it again until they do.
