It's a bit pricey... I'm assuming because it is a new food, and also made in Canada, but it's still less then Orijen is around here. 5.5lb on k9cuisine is $20.29.



I like that it doesn't have potato. Sometimes foods are really potato heavy and it just seems like too much. The only other food without potato that I know of is NV Instinct but the fat levels on that food are higher at 22% and also higher calorie. I may give this one a try (as well as continuing feeding Acana)! It actually says my local pet store does carry it.

I was going to say your never going to find that in stores- LOL!

It looks pretty good- I know it is a controversial topic, but why stick tomato pomace in such a good dog food? I am in the "cheap filler" camp- I know some people think it is a beneficial ingredient. Its not enough to make me totally not feed a food because of it, but I hate seeing it in dog food.

I also prefer slightly simpler foods- that food has pretty much every protein imaginable. But again, just a personal preference.

I like the Canadian companies (I feed Petcurean)- they seem to have a good handle on quality control so far- might just be because they are smaller right now.

Let us know what you think of it if you give it a try.
