Not to mention, whatever they are doing the best on - which for me is NB and I have tried many, many different foods including NV Raw. It's a great food - but it didn't work for Tatum....so I just can't feed it, plain and simple.

Also, be sure and read the actual review too - don't just look at the number rating...the variety that my kiddos eat actually did get a good review...it just isn't rated a 5-6 because the meat content isn't quite as high. I do firmly believe though, no matter what anyone says, that sometimes the lower meat content foods are just the way to go when you have a dog with severe allergies. I have read many, many stories where NB is the ONLY food that an allergic dog could ever tolerate...and it proves to be true (so far) in Tatum's case.

I am basically speaking for the allergy formulas though - NB does have plenty of other choices that are not formulated for dogs with allergies. These will have a higher meat content - EXCEPT the vegetarian formula, lol.

That's true, Brooke!

Thanks, everyone. I think I'm going to look into getting some Natural Balance and trying it over the weekend. Hopefully it's as easy to get as Canidae and Merrick have been.
