I have another thread, asking about Natures Logic kibble and wanting to know if anyone had used it. Because Royal Canin did a change of formula and started using less overall protein and what I believe to be inferior ingredients, I decided to look for a new food.

This is a review of Nature's Logic after using it for 4 months. I don't want to say it's a miracle food, but I'm extremely happy with it and the boys are doing really well on it. First, let me say, Ralphie, our rescue, had quite a few digestive issues including IBS when we got him, he has special medicine and while he did pretty good for the last year on Royal Canin, I still had to use his medicine, perhaps once a month. On Nature's Logic, he has not needed it for the entire 4 months, not even one time. It was really obvious when Ralphie was sick; he'd pace, and want to sit on my lap, but then he’d want to get down right away and back and forth until his medicine kicked in. So I'm really happy with this and it tells me, it's easy for him to digest. Another issue I had with Ralphie is that he needed to get up twice during the night to eat. Although I feed him at 9 PM, he still needed to get up at 1 and 4, for a few bits of food. Ralphie would pretty much cry until I gave it to him. The vet thought maybe it was due to acid reflux or hypoglycemia, and didn't mind me giving him food at night, but it's been difficult. I haven't been able to sleep thought the night for years. Anyway, this stopped; he no longer needs to eat during the night! I think because this has a higher protein content, it takes longer to digest and keeps him satisfied longer. So you see why I think it's a miracle food, I can finally sleep all night!
Regarding Joey, he's never had any digestive issues, but weight has been a problem since a trick training class at 11 months. The vet said he was more than a full pound over his desired weight and even after dieting and exercising we could never keep it at the weight the vet thought was best, it was always slightly above that. Honestly, his weight dropped down to his desired weight within a few weeks and I've been able to up his food, actually give him more calories, and still keep it at 5.5 pounds, without any struggle at all, he loves having more food and I love knowing he's at a healthy weight, because it’s so much easier on his joints. The food hasn't made a difference in Ralphie's weight, he’s exactly the same, but I think Joey's just one of those dogs that doesn't do that well on a high carb diet and he needs more protein. They no longer think calories are equal when it comes to weight control. So the higher protein diet has worked well for both of them.
Someone suggested that this food would make the dogs ugly, so I'm enclosing some updated shots of their beautiful physiques. Remember, Joey is 8 and Ralphie is 10!
