I found it at a local Pet Supply Store, doesn’t seem widely available but the ingredients sound excellent. At first I was concerned that it contained Menadione, but the company has responded that it HAS been removed from the ingredients and just the label hasn’t been changed until they “use up” the bags. I’ve looked through the few reviews I found through Google, but wondered if anyone here has any personal experience with it. Thanks!

My concern would be Menadione Sodium Bisulfite (Source of Vitamin K Activity)
* causes cytotoxicity in liver cells
* causes formation of radicals from enzymes of leucocytes, with the consequence of cytotoxic reactions
* considerably weakens the immune system
* possible mutagenic effects
* damages the natural vitamin K cycle
* has no effect on coumarin derivatives, which are often present in commercial food due to mold contamination (toxic when ingested)
* causes hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia, not just linked to large doses
* disturbs the level of calcium ions (Ca2+) in the body, which is an important factor fibrinolysis
* is directly toxic in high doses (vomiting, albuminuria), unlike natural vitamin K
* builds up in tissue and has been detected in eggs, meat and milk of animals supplemented with menadione derivatives
* causes irritation of skin and mucous membranes
* causes allergic reactions and eczema
