We just switched to one that doesn't get much press that our groomer carries. Fromm.
I started with Salmon and both of ours love it. I went by to pick up more and they were out of Salmon in the small bag so I tried White Fish and Potato. I also cut back on how much I'm feeding them because since our skinny little Charlie got snipped, he's become not to skinny and eats like a horse. I can't just keep the bowl full anymore, I need to put out what they need for the day and that's it.
Sophie likes the Whitefish fine, but Charlie has taken his time warming up to it, but that's good, because he's eating what he should now instead of whatever is there. The Whitefish is also a different shape which might have thrown him off.
The ingredients is what really caught my attention and the fact that we can switch protein as we see fit. I started with fish to see if Sophie's foot biting was an allergy to chicken.
They had not health problems and the stool was fine, but now, it's even better and they seem to really like this stuff, and it's healthy.
I haven't applied the scoring grid to it yet, but glancing through, it should score high.

The only down side is their heads smell like fish.
If we could keep them from playing, when each of their faces spend a great deal of time in each others mouth, maybe the fish breath wouldn't transfer.
But I can't do that, half the day is laughter and smiles watching them go at it. I don't know how these little guys can store all that energy but they are a pure joy to watch. I even get down and stick my head into the pile sometimes.
