POTATO STARCH, GLYCERIN, POWDERED CELLULOSE, LECITHIN, DRIED YEAST, MALT EXTRACT, SWEET LUPINE MEAL, ALFALFA EXTRACT, PAPRIKA EXTRACT
Ah! I do want to get my hands on whimzee's but haven't found any in my area as of yet. I did look in a few shops today for them.

As with tomatoes, highly debated but I've spoke to a few people on FB about it and they said it's ok to give a very small amount of tomato. (like half a teaspoon) so I guess that's not really 100%. I'll give it to him as an odd occasional treat and take it out when I'm not monitoring him.
