		<description>Yes, I&#039;ve also seen where alot of companies still have it listed on their ingredients but when I&#039;ve sent emails asking them to take it out they said that they already have and are just using the rest of the old bags.  Call and ask or email the comapany if your dog food is still listing this as an ingredient.  Hopefully most companies that are still using it will stop soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>There is no scientific proof it is beneficial. Wise choice choosing switching to a more natural kibble!

fish meals, liver and green plant supplements (e.g. alfalfa, kelp and other seaweed, nettle leaf, blue-green algae, spirulina) are rich sources of natural vitamin K. 

Actually, here are some adverse affects:
causes cytotoxicity in liver cells 

causes formation of radicals from enzymes of leucocytes, with the consequence of cytotoxic reactions 

considerably weakens the immune system
 
possible mutagenic effects 

damages the natural vitamin K cycle
 
has no effect on coumarin derivatives, which are often present in commercial food due to mold contamination (toxic when ingested) 

causes hemolytic anemia and hyperbilirubinemia, not just linked to large doses disturbs the level of calcium ions (Ca2+) in the body, which is an important factor fibrinolysis 
is directly toxic in high doses (vomiting, albuminuria), unlike natural vitamin K builds up in tissue and has been detected in eggs, meat and milk of animals supplemented with menadione derivatives 
causes irritation of skin and mucous membranes 
causes allergic reactions and eczema&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=menadione</description>
