I got samples of this food today and Jackson just loved them.
I wouldn't feed a few of the formulas as they had insanely high ash percentages.
Venison and beef were formulas that had a lot... beef: 20.7%, venison 17.1%.
That's really high. Most foods are in the 5-9% range for ash content. "Ash is the true filler in a dog food. Dogs have a requirement of about 2% ash (the non burnable/combustible minerals left over after food is burned) as in that 2% will be the calcium/phos/trace minerals they need. Above that is the useless part of a dog food as a rule."
So anywho I got samples of the rabbit, turkey, chicken and duck/salmon formulas.
Ash being: chicken 8.46%, duck & salmon 11%, lamb 11.2%, rabbit 9.74%, sardine 11.4%, turkey 9.49%
Jackson devoured the rabbit formula. Loved it. He enjoyed chicken too. Didn't much like duck/salmon or turkey.
To be honest, I'm not really looking for a new food for him. Moreso Lola, our 2yr old cockapoo. Acana makes her poop a lot so I wanted to see if I can find something that agrees with her more. But whatever she eats, he ends up eating it too at least some of the time, so I like to have something that agrees with both of them.
NL had fantastic customer service though.
