I havent found out which cereals are extruded either!!! Same with the puppy food. I think I will write to them. What is ash also? I have noticed petfood has ash in, whats that for? is it a filler or is it for digestion? Or is it potassium?

Hedley's poos have firmed up a bit but are still dark greeny grey. I think I might have had this with one of our other dogs when they were on dry food either James W or Burns maybe. It was a premium one.
