I have been purchasing cat food from an independent distributor for
the last while and I would strongly recommend it to anyone. The brand
of food is called Riplees Ranch but I have never seen it in stores and
I believe it can be only bought from independant distributors.


I never heard of this food so I went to a website and found this about their
cat food (I'm assuming this is a kibble, didn't see anything about a canned
food):

5) Original Formula Cat Food - For All Life Stages
Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Chicken Fat
Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, Citric Acid and Rosemary Extract
Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (MIN.) 32.0%, Crude Fat (MIN.) 20.0%, Crude
Fibre (MAX.) 3.0%, Moisture (MAX.) 10.0%, Ash (MAX) 6.5%, Magnesium (MAX.)
0.09%.

6) Formula 32-10 Cat Food - For Overweight and Senior Cats
Chicken Meal, Brewer's Rice, Ground Corn, Chicken Fat
Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, Citric Acid and Rosemary Extract
Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (MIN.) 32.0%, Crude Fat (MIN.) 10.0%, Crude
Fibre (MAX.) 3.0%, Moisture (MAX.) 10.0%, Ash (MAX.) 6.8%, Magnesium (MAX.)
0.09%.

Are these the only ingredients in the food? Is there any offal (things like
liver or heart)? I also didn't see anything about the proximate analysis, only
these minimums and maximums.
