Is the salmon wild or farm raised? Farm raised salmon are fed products unapproved by FDA.

Doesn't say. On the bottle, there is a chart titled Guaranteed Analysis. It says crude fat - 99% (min.), moisture - 1% (max.), DHA -5% (min.), EPA - 5% (min). Has note that the EPA and DHA are not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profile.

It says "A taste of wild Alaskan outdoors that dogs and cats love" not on the bottle, but description on Amazon.

The salmon is the first ingredient but does not say if it is farmed or wild. You can call the company at 1-800--2833 or go to BlueBuffalo.com Personally I hope it is farmed so that the wild caught salmon don't become extinct due to over fishing. Hope this helps.

The foods that the quails are fed must be organic and non GMO are far as I can tell because Turnbull Farms's quail eggs do not trigger my migraines. That is the reason why I began purchasing this product from Turnbull Farms.

No nutritional supplements are FDA "approved". Dietary supplements fall under the purview of the FDA - where there are regulations that pertain to labeling and "claims." However, when it comes to the measurement of safety and effectiveness - as prescription drugs must do - it is not the same. The FDA does not ensure potency, purity or biologic activity of the ingredients in dietary supplements. There is no registration or clearance by the FDA before a dietary supplement goes on the market.Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/03/23/skinny-on-fda-regulation-dietary-supplements/#ixzz2b6DzklSF No nutritional supplements are FDA "approved".

It.is how the pig is raised (antibiotics?) and the food it is given. Free range fed with organic feed would help getting them certified organic by the USDA for instance.

Produced by the Gibson Family in Alaska.(Anchorage)? Wild salmon oil, not farmed. Processed at a low temperature, preserved with mixed tocopherols, not rosemary which can cause stomach distress.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure of the correct answer. This company has a website that explains a lot about their products but I don't remember seeing this addressed. The web address is - http://purealaskaomega.com/salmon-oil

Great question. It is identified as Pacific Northwest Salmon, and per their website it is a combination of both wild and farm raised Salmon from around the Seatle as well as British Columbia areas, so some of the sourcing would be Canadian waters, not all US. None of the primary ingredients is from China at least, although in almost any pet food or treat it is likely that vitamin supplementation did come from China as the vast majority is produced there, even on treats or food considered US ingredients.

For me it is since many fish oils have many fish that are not listed on their labels. I have certain allergies to consider and this works great. Recommended by my naturopathic doctor.

I don't know, but this is the best smoked Alaskan Salmon I have eaten. I am - BTW - going to order about 8 boxes today. That is how good it is. - Troy

The inside label states that they use wild caught krill and cod, never farm raised. Also, the butter oil is from free range grass fed cattle never administered antibiotics or hormones. They strive to get the best sources of fish from cold waters. Because this product is not pasteurized, they make extra efforts and make it the way our ancestors did by fermenting the oil to archive the best results. They also test for metals and toxins in small batches to ensure consistency. Hope this helps.

Forgive me if I tell you things you already know. Wild Rice is a misnomer for a grain that is not rice at all. It has been called that only because of its shape. This product is labeled "100% Minnesota cultivated wild rice." Another confusion: truly wild rice is harvested along lake shores by Native Americans and is less regularly shaped and more expensive. This is the same grain but cultivated (think of farm raised fish). Anyway, wild rice is very good and popular with gourmet cooks and others. It's only called gourmet because it's pricier and quite different from real rice.

Most commercially available fish oils are derived from coldwater fish, primarily menhaden, but also salmon and trout. These oils are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

FDA means food and drug administration so as this is a device it is not subject to approval by the FDA so No it is not approved by the FDA
