I am replying to the comments of Roger Meacock as the Chemist and MD of MH Foods, the developers and manufacturers of Bon Appetit Food Flavour Enhancing Sprays. By the way, these do not contain a “flavour enhancer”. The description is there to describe the function of the product.

I draw you to the attention to the comments of Stephen Ashman, written above, including a link to our website (www.mh-foods.co.uk) which contains the composition of our sprays. The flavours are purely artificial, therefore no known allergens. Moreover refined oils are free from sodium, potassium, phosphorous and protein. Please see the website for Eurofins (public analysts) certificate.

May I also draw your attention to the Veterinary Testimonials on our website as well as other testimonials from a dog trainer of one of the charities and so on.

The composition of our sprays is simple: Refined Vegetable Oils (Rapeseed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Oil), Flavourings and Antioxidant Vitamin E.

It is the very high quality of the flavour which makes our spray flavours stand out.

These flavour were developed by an eminent flavour technologist and smells far more natural than the generally cheaper flavours used in pet foods which have of course undergone severe heat treatment and in our view therefore flavour degradation and changes.

The Bon Appetit product is not heat treated simply because anhydrous (water free) refined oils do not need heat treatment of any sort. You are therefore getting the flavour as it was designed to be.

Samples are on offer to you.

Well of course if the proper food was offered in the form of raw meaty bones then this wouldn't be required in the vast majority of cases. I hate to think what products this contains. Bear in mind that if you change neurochemistry of the nose and mouth there will inevitably be neuromodulation of the central nervous system too that may not be advantageous.

I always thought that smell was more important than taste for these animals.

We had some freebies of this from BSAVA. Mixed results but it has worked very well with some patients.
