Understood, To clarify, I actually asked about the use of Corn Meal and
Soybean meal and the ratio of meat tissue to grains in the main SD
line...

Sure - like anyone is going to give you that kind of proprietary data.
Let me know when you get the formula to Coca Cola and the Secret Sauce
at Jack in the Box too will ya.

That, by the way, is NOT what you stated in the previous posting - you
attempted to denigrate Hill's by claiming Hill's refused to give you
simple calcium and phos numbers which is utter BS and you know it.

No, you're attempting to read between the lines and make assumptions.
I simply stated that I sent Hill's a "similar" question but I
understand your confusion on that one. I'm not asking Hill's for
anything more than a ratio in percentage of meat to grain. Hardly
proprietary data!

Now you're parsing your own language! Are you purposely attempting to
be sneaky and misleading?

Wow, that's rich coming from Gaubster aka Steve Crane!!!!!!!!
LMFAO!!!!!!! Now, Steve, or is it Gauby, what's the big secret about
the ratio of grains to meat? Why wouldn't Hill's want to tell people
this? I think a petowner deserves to know exactly what they're feeding
their pet, don't you? Are they afraid people are going to find out just
how many grains dilute Hill's Science Diet petfoods? Hmmm....?

First of all I am NOT Gaubster - never have been, never will be. I'll
be pleased to answer the question above anytime you can get that data
from one of our competitors - about the same time you get the recipe to
Coke and Jack's Secret Suace.

You get what you pay for hey? Well how about getting a good food made with quality ingredients where all the money goes into the food manufacture NOT ADVERTISING!!! Kirkland products are not advertised or distributed - they are sold exclusively in Costco stores. No wastage of money on advertising and promotion so no outrageous markup to recoup advertising expenses. Cost is no guarantee of quality.
