Default Fromm Duck Formula Comparison

There's not much argument about Fromm being a good dog food. Sure, there is better and there is certainly worse. While searching through all of the dog foods this past year or so, I keep coming back to look at Fromm. The sample packets we received were not a big hit with Gucci, BUT, that was during a time frame that my better half was feeding him a lot of cooked chicken. What dog food can compete with that?

Since the Fromm sample failure occurred, we adopted a second pup, Zippy, and now a third, Louie. I find myself revisiting the Fromm dog food line. It's like I'm mesmerized by some of their history and somewhat limited production and availability in our area and I just have to try it again at some point.

For various reasons I've sort of narrowed it down to three formulas to try next. The Fromm Gold Duck & Chicken Pate Canned Dog Food, Fromm Gold Small Breed Adult Dry Dog Food and Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Duck & Sweet Potato Dry Dog Food. All three have "DUCK" as their first ingredient! I expect I'll purchase the canned and choose only one of the dry kibble to purchase. Here is their ingredients lists:

The Fromm Gold Duck & Chicken Pate Canned Dog Food:
Duck, Chicken, Chicken Broth, Carrots, Potatoes, Peas, Tomato Paste, Potato Starch,Choline Chloride, Betaine Anhydrous, Potassium Chloride, Taurine, Calcium Carbonate,Sodium Selenite, Folic Acid, Vitamins, Minerals
