Hi Gretchen,

Thank you for writing.

We apologize that we cannot provide you with the information you are

requesting. Because our products are formulated for use by the majority of our

consumers, and not specifically for those on restricted diets, it is possible

our product formulations may change at any time. As a result, we cannot

provide a list due to several factors:

- Lists of this type reflect products as formulated at a specific time

- It is possible that more products/varieties may have been added

- More important, changes in existing products may have occurred

Therefore, we suggest reading all ingredient labels carefully. If you cannot

determine whether or not the product contains the ingredient in question, or if

you feel uncomfortable about the ingredients used in our products, it is our

recommendation that you do not use them.

The source of the modified food starch used in our products is corn.

We hope this information is helpful.

Your friends at Lawry's

Many of their product contain "natural flavorings"... and they just can't tell you what they are at any given time.

Cute little dog!

Is the dog your pet or just a picture of a cute pooch?

Thank you

He's my pet. He's a Maltese and will be 2 in Feb. About 10 lbs and doesn't shed. Great personality. We LOVE him.

Shame about Lawrys... BUT, I do have a question about your dog! lol ~ Does he chew a lot?? We are getting a pet this summer for our daughter ~ need a cute dog that is well behaved and doesn't have an excessive desire to chew!! Eeek!

He doesn't chew that much at all... even when he was a wee puppy. But, we did give him plenty of toys like plush and some chews. I think all dogs like to chew, but he's not that bad at all.. just have to give them lots of toys and they'll stay away from your stuff. Our's is a little "mouthy" when he plays and likes to lick. Maltese hair gets very long (to the floor) so you have to keep them brushed or they'll mat.... their hair is very soft and like silk. We clip our's (two or three times a year) because he's a little boy that likes to get into the leaves and stuff and he'd be bringing the outside world indoors. In the winter, we let his coat grow as long as it will get... but, if he is matting a lot we'll clip him and make him wear a sweater. This breed can only be kept indoors, as they do not have an undercoat. They don't shed and am told that they are hypoallergenic. He didn't bark for the first 6 months of his life, but has become a fantastic watch dog... I never fear anything getting by his guard. They don't get any bigger than 10 lbs and are very happy, youthful dogs. We love our's so much and my mom called last week to tell me that she got one too! She got a female.

Biggest thing I'd tell you is it's important to keep a Maltese clean.. weekly bath (with a good conditioner - I use Dove intense moisturizing) and keep them brushed.

Yes... Lawry's is disappointing... they have the BEST seasoned salt. We use the rotisserie a lot and this on roasting turkey is so incredibly delicious. Guess they'll just have to lose my business.

Thanks for all the info. about your dog! I would only have a dog indoors. We have been "dogless" for about 7 years, and are ready to enter that realm again. We had a wonderful, beautiful Yorkie that was 3 lbs. soaking wet... can't replace her, but would love to find a breed that is as wonderful as she was. Thanks again!!
