I wonder if this is a local product here is the site:

http://natureslogic.com/products/dp.html

Here are the ingredients. What do you think?

DRY FOOD AND TREAT MAIN PROTEIN AND FAT SOURCES:

Chicken Meal Venison Meal Duck Meal Dried Egg Product *Animal Plasma
Lamb Meal Rabbit Meal Salmon Meal Spray Dried Chicken Liver **Natural Flavor
Cottage Cheese Chicken Fat Safflower Oil Spray Dried Cod Liver Oil

*Animal Plasma (Life does not exist without blood and the nutrients it provides carnivorous animals. Nature’s Logic™ source of animal plasma is a highly palatable protein product composed of albumin and globulin proteins. It also supplies natural sources of iron, sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, numerous vitamins, and over 18 amino acids. Research has shown this product increases palatability of food, reduces stool volume due to increased digestibility, improved stool quality versus control diets, significantly improved fiber and phosphorus digestion, and enhanced immune response in dogs vaccinated for Parvo.) Sources are bovine for domestic product and porcine for exported product.

**Natural Flavor (Nature’s Logic™ uses this high quality source of dried chicken liver for coating its dry food for added natural flavor, additional animal source of protein, and as a carrier for coating heat sensitive post extrusion ingredients such as probiotics and enzymes).

CAN FOOD* AND RAW FOOD MAIN PROTEIN AND FAT SOURCES:

*Can food production begins with raw frozen meats that are ground and blended with other ingredients before they are cooked at approximately 170º F in their sealed containers. Raw Frozen Chicken Raw Frozen Buffalo Raw Frozen Venison Heart Raw Frozen Duck Liver
Raw Frozen Chicken Liver Raw Frozen Buffalo Liver Raw Frozen Rabbit Raw Frozen Duck Heart
Raw Frozen Lamb Raw Frozen Buffalo Heart Raw Frozen Rabbit Liver Raw Frozen Salmon
Raw Frozen Lamb Liver Raw Frozen Venison Raw Frozen Rabbit Heart Cottage Cheese
Raw Frozen Lamb Heart Raw Frozen Venison Liver Raw Frozen Duck Tuna Oil

The above dry, can, and raw diet ingredients are the main Nature’s Logic™ sources for high quality proteins and fats from predominantly animal origin, the source from which cats and dogs would naturally derive these nutrients. Dr. Anton Beynen, professor of Veterinary Nutrition at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, observed in a recent study1 that certain products, marketed as complete diets, had no detectable eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fifteen diets were tested of which all but one contained less EPA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) than is considered optimal by Dr. Beynen. Even more striking was the observation that five diets contained no detectable EPA at all, and one of the diets also lacked DHA. In the article, Dr. Beynen sites a number of studies which link EPA or DHA deficiency to abnormalities of the retina and nervous tissue.

All Nature’s Logic™ Diets contain adequate levels of EPA and DHA due to the high inclusion rate of animal origin ingredients. They also exceed the following protein amino acid minimums listed in the AAFCO nutrient profiles for dogs and cats: Arginine, Histidine, Isoleucine Leucine, Lysine, Methionine-cystine, Methionine, Phenylalanine-tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Taurine, Threonine, Trytophan, and Valine.

MINOR INGREDIENT CONCENTRATES IN DRY, CAN, AND RAW FROZEN FOODS AND TREATS THAT PROVIDE ESSENTIAL AND NATURAL NUTRITION INCLUDING MANY VITAMINS AND MINERALS.

Millet Kelp Almonds Cranberry
Safflower Oil Suncured Alfalfa Meal Apple Powder Broccoli
Montmorillonite Egg Shell Blueberry Spinach
Brewer's Yeast Avocado Apricots Parsley
Flaxseed Chicory Root Carrots Artichoke
Pumpkin Seed Tomato Powder Pumpkin Rosemary

The above dry, can, and raw diet minor ingredient concentrates are the main Nature’s Logic™ sources for natural vitamin and mineral supplementation which have required minimums listed in the AAFCO Nutrient Profiles for Dogs and Cats. Chemically synthesized mineral and vitamin forms have long been used in the feed industry to correct deficiencies in diet formulations, but not without risk. This practice is much cheaper than using enough quality ingredients to provide ample nutrient levels. The National Research Council reports on “Mineral Tolerance of Domestic Animals” and “Vitamin Tolerance of Domestic Animals” state that the main emphasis for the reports is the potential adverse effects of chemically synthesized minerals and vitamins on animals. In the body of the reports it is stated how the toxicity of many chemically synthesized minerals and vitamins has been known for many decades with known toxicity in humans as well as many animals including cats and dogs.

Nature’s Logic™ is committed to providing diets that include only 100% natural ingredients which provide needed nutrients, including vitamins and minerals from food sources only. Nature’s Logic™ diets exceed all AAFCO nutrient profile minimums using 100% natural food ingredients on the following minerals and vitamins listed in the AAFCO Nutrient Profile for Dogs and Cats: Calcium, Phosphorus, Sodium, Chloride, Magnesium, Iron, Copper, Manganese, Iodine, Selenium, Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, and Vitamin B12.
