When I read the ingredients I noticed the first listed were... Chicken meal Brown Rice Barley Oatmeal
It also contains it also contains alfalfa meal and flax seed.
I thought those ( except maybe oatmeal ) were considered bad ?? 
I know Chicken meal isn't exactly bad , but I thought a true protein ( like deboned chicken or turkey etc.) should be first , no?
She raved about this food , but I'm not sure if I should let them try it..
I had wanted to try the NV rotation with kibble /canned / raw but was leaning towards the instinct not Prairie ...but she told me this would be much better seeing as how my Yorkie isn't a working dog?
I thought NV was considered a premium food...Would you consider this a good or bad food .

I have been feeding NV Raw for about 4 years now and I love it. In the past Ive tried many other brands but noticed a huge difference on NV like better coats, breath, overall energy was so much better. I also supplement with Evo.
Note: I read somewhere that raw diets were not for every dog. It works for my dogs great (I have jack russell, pomeranian, and a yorkie), but make sure you research ahead of time.
Good Luck!!!
