Foster & Smith) has whole flaxseed in it so I suppose mine have good tolerance for it. I've used it for almost 2 years now and they seem to do well on it. Like I said, the thing that interests me about the Nature's Logic is the fact they use natural vitamin sources. Do you know of any other kibble that does that? I would be interested in any that do. Thanks for the input you've given me so far. I do value your opinion and appreciate your looking at this for me.

It's not all dogs, just many - so you're lucky bc I think flax is more ubiquitous . But, you know what's really weird about that "whole flax seed" in food...? You/they shouldn't be able to do much with it. Whole flax seed, on its own, is pretty much a "moot" seed, unless you want some roughage, LOL! Or, unless you/they can crunch/decimate the outer lining of each little seed. To get the benefit from the seed - you have to get to the inner part of it, so the outer part of it needs to be broken down. Most dogs will poo-out the whole seeds as is, unfortunately. So, that's why it's probably best as either ground or made into an oil - so I always wonder why the whole seed?

Now, since I bored you to death with all that - on to the other part. As for other kibbles with natural sources, it depends, what are you defining as natural? I'm never even quite sure myself these days....
