Hi Angel,

Send me the list of ingredients for both items, if you can. Or the websites links so I can access evaluate them both for you.

All the best,

Re: buckeye safe n' easy feed vs. blue seal carb guard

Hi Angel,

They are both very similar, but I prefer the Buckeye product because it has more vitamin E and contains beet pulp. But, sugar and starch levels are virtually identical. So, you could go with either one and feel confident.

All the best,
