I've noticed that when I looked at it recently...

From what I've been told its got something to do with the protein content...its supposed to be higher than the chicken and beef?????

But alot of the dry whole foods have a higher protein content than the tripe...so I don't understand??????

Can anybody else explain????

They put that on it so it stay's VAT free,nothing to do with protein!!

Working dog, greyhounds have VAT free food, not sure why :- "

I feed tripe to my Iggies and they are not exactly working dogs :- "

Definately to do with have a zero VAT rating like all Greyhound foods

It is VAT free, a godsend on a annual expenditure.Good eh ?

Redmills can also be bought VAT free, your dogs hunt rabbits and rats ?? dont they :- "

Save some money !!
