Hi Charissa. We don’t have any details on what made Dermocare different to other foods and I’m not confident that we will ever be given a full ingredient list. I like your lateral thinking; my own theories are either low grade botulinum toxin exposure or a canine equivalent to dysautonomia (which was also food-related).

Thanks Maree. I am not aware of a regulatory body in New Zealand but would be keen to hear from anyone else who knows more. Pet food processers in that country appear to be required to conform to a higher standard but it’s unsure of the degree of oversight or enforcement.
