| Darford Holistic Zero/G Anyone heard of this dog food? I just discovered it on K9Kuisine.com and it looks pretty good! I've never heard of it. Another Canadian based company but the food is manufactured in Minnesota. Turkey, Chicken Meal, Peas, Buckwheat, Chicken, Pea Starch, Chicken Fat(preserved naturally with mixed tocopherols), Duck, Salmon Meal, Brewer's Yeast, Tomato Pomace, Salmon Oil, Mysis Shrimp, Alfalfa, Cold Pressed Sunflower Oil, Chelated Minerals (iron proteinate, zinc oxide......copper sulphate, manganous oxide),Sodium Selenite,Calcium Iodate,Kelp,Vitamin Supplements: DL-Alpha Tocopherol...... Source of Vitamin E., Niacin, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 supplement, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Thiamine, Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 supplement, Folic Acid (Vitamin B9), Salt, Chicory Root, Choline Chloride, Dried, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Enterococcus Faecium, Rosehips, Blueberries, Bilberries,Rosemary Extract Crude Protein Not Less Than 30% Crude Fat Not Less Than 15% Crude Fiber Not More Than 5% Moisture Not More Than 10% Carbohydrates N/A from Manufacturer Calories: ME = 3772 kcal/kg (calculated) or 388 kcal/cup Darford Industries Ltd. | Home It's a bit pricey... I'm assuming because it is a new food, and also made in Canada, but it's still less then Orijen is around here. 5.5lb on k9cuisine is $20.29. I like that it doesn't have potato. Sometimes foods are really potato heavy and it just seems like too much. The only other food without potato that I know of is NV Instinct but the fat levels on that food are higher at 22% and also higher calorie. I may give this one a try (as well as continuing feeding Acana)! It actually says my local pet store does carry it.

I was going to say your never going to find that in stores- LOL! It looks pretty good- I know it is a controversial topic, but why stick tomato pomace in such a good dog food? I am in the "cheap filler" camp- I know some people think it is a beneficial ingredient. Its not enough to make me totally not feed a food because of it, but I hate seeing it in dog food. I also prefer slightly simpler foods- that food has pretty much every protein imaginable. But again, just a personal preference. I like the Canadian companies (I feed Petcurean)- they seem to have a good handle on quality control so far- might just be because they are smaller right now. Let us know what you think of it if you give it a try.
