Mailbag: Does Precise make a formula with beef?

Each month, Marnee White, who knows Precise like the back of her hand, will answer questions we get through our customer service e-mails and phone calls.

Q: Does Precise make a formula with beef?

A: Though we’re all about beef in Texas, beef is a controversial issue due to past BSE (mad cow) regulations that many governments restrict for import/export. Since we are shipping to over 40 countries, we cannot have beef ingredients in our dry formulas that we produce in our Nacogdoches, Texas plant.  We do offer a compliment of canned formulas in our Precise and Precise Holistic Complete formulations that contain beef ingredients.

Mailbag: Why are prebiotics and probiotics important?

Each month, Marnee White, who knows Precise like the back of her hand, will answer questions we get through our customer service e-mails and phone calls.

Q: I just purchased Precise Holistic Complete and saw that it contains both prebiotics and probiotics. Why are these important?

A: Precise has formulated Precise Holistic Complete to contain both prebiotics and probiotics for your pet’s health. Prebiotics are a special form of dietary fiber that assists in nourishing and stimulating good bacteria growth within the intestines. Probiotics are live, natural bacteria that help in the fight against bad bacteria within the intestinal track, helping to maintain regular digestion.

Probiotics can be found in all Precise Pet food formulas, including the Precise Foundation formula.
