Why non-defatted vs defatted? Other brands also come from Argentine grass-finished cows but are defatted.

Hello Minka,I forwarded your question on to Perfect Supplements and this is the answer they sent back to me:Perfect Supplements chose to keep the naturally occurring fat within Perfect Desiccated Liver because we wanted to keep the product as close to nature as possible. Desiccated Liver also contains nutrients that are fat soluble and therefore better absorbed when the fat is included in the supplement. I hope this helps,KerriePeaceful Planet

Per the website: 4. How are the cattle raised? Our cattle are grass fed and slaughtered in Argentina and Brazil which is controlled by their respective Department of Agriculture. These countries have the same type of rigourous tests and inspections as the United States. Beef hides are the only product used to manufacture gelatin in these countries

MuttMitts are degradable, not biodegradable (distinct difference). One of their products is compostable but not biodegradable. Google the differences in the terms.

I would assume its from an ox. But, more literally, probably a bovine (cow). Not a plant.

Rawhide chips from Argentina or Brazil, an area where use of hormones in raising cattle is absent or, at least, not used in such large amounts as cattle from the USA. Free of additives of any kind, according to the labeling. My dogs love them.

Not to worry. Mine has no cows. No pictures at all - just nice, clear, pressed glass. Just as shown in the photo.

Its from non bse cattle http://www.drbvitamins.com/information/faqs/category/1Our capsules are typical gelatin capsules, with the exception of select products now available in veggie cap form. (See veggie cap listing.) They are made of gelatin from cattle, like the "Knox gelatin" sold in grocery stores.The gelatin used to make the Doctor's Best capsules is manufactured in accordance with strict guidelines that ensure it is BSE-free. The FDA and the supplement industry approved these guidelines. Our gelatin is made only from cattle living in non-BSE countries.

You've forced me to google (surprised you did not as I am not a company representative responsible for this product) that question and I'm sure I don't like what I've read. Initially it was made here (believe it still is) in Calif., but since May 2013 Natural Balance (NB) merged with Del Monte. Apparently Del Monte has a history of sourcing some ingredients from China. I do not have a NB bag handy so I do not know if this particular item has ingredients from China. Maybe I need to consider an alternative.....one that would hopefully also be GMO free. Since switching to NB I have had a completely happy, healthy cat since her near death experience from a lifetime of grain based foods. Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know. I had the cow one. It might, though, because they look very similar.

Sorry. I have no idea what breed they use. All I know is it is organic whole and grass fed cattle ...

I'm gonna assume that the milk is not from grass-fed cows. If it was, you'd think that they would tout that fact. The best choice would be to contact them directly.

Hi, I don't know. I have not yet run across gelatin from grass fed cattle. Thanks for bringing up the question.

As previous posters note, the current label does say Non-GMO. I think the confusion comes from an earlier label for the product which does not have the Non-GMO notation. In years past, GMO crops weren't 'on the radar' like they are now. This seems to be a quality product.

According to the packaging no. Country of origin is Argentina or Brazil. Now whether that means the rawhides are from Argentinian or Brazilian cows, well, that would seem to be the question that remains unanswered. Hope this helps.

I checked the bottle and it does not specify whether the lactoferrin comes from cows. It says that lactoferrin comes from breast milk, tears and other body fluids. My guess is that it is derived from cow's colostrum, the first - extremely healthy - milk that is given to new born calves.
