I was browsing the Rad Cat website, checking the ingredient list, as I do periodically for all commercial foods I feed my cats (since things can change without notice) and much to my pleased surprise I read "organic egg shell calcium" in the ingredients list instead of the bone meal.
I wrote to them right away and, as usual, got an answer back quickly:
We switched to organic eg gs hell calcium a couple of months ago. We’ve always wanted to make products that were 100% organic and we’ve done everything we can to get as close to that as possible, while still keeping our products affordable. So, the organic eg gs hell calcium was always on our minds and we finally decided to move forward with it. Also, bone meal seems to not be as popular as it once was (as a human supplement), so it was time to move on, anyway. The news is something folks with cats that have kidney disease are raving about because the phosphorus levels have decreased a bit. It’s about seven times the cost of bone meal or conventional egg shell, but it’s worth the increased expense for us. We haven’t raised prices even with the addition of certified organic chicken and aren’t going to. Organic is important to us, as it is for many, many people and we’re just happy to be constantly improving on the products we already produce!
She said they aren't planning to raise the price of the Rad Cat frozen raw food. That is a big relief to me.
