Anyone used Hi-Tek Naturals Grain Free?

My dogs are not picky at all. They are eating it and seem to like it just fine. I got the grain free chicken formula.

Another kibble they suggested is Pulsar. It is made by Horizon. It is a relatively new line of food and I can't find actual reviews for this food either. If anyone has any experience or feedback, I'd love to hear it.

Princess & Turbo is on Pulsar Fish Formula. I chose this kibble bc Princess is just recovering from colitis & since she has GI issues, wanted a simple 1 protein kibble w/no potatoes, as they are an inflammatory food. It had added probiotics, so that's a plus. They LOVE it & it doesn't smell overwhelmingly fishy. They only get kibble for breakfast & Honest Kitchen for dinner.

Hi-Tek seems to have a lot of different proteins added to it. Not sure if that's good for some yorkies w/sensitive tummies...

Mimi & Momo are on Darford Darford Zero/G Dog Food | Review and Rating
The 1st 4 ingredients are from protein. Again, this food also doesn't contain potatoes, is grain free & has added probiotics. Major plus, the kibble size is super tiny! This was very important bc Momo has tiny teeth. They also only get kibble in the morning & THK for dinner. We're going to try the fish & mysis shrimp formula next.

Well, my dogs seem to like the Hi-Tek Naturals grain free. My dogs have never been picky eaters though. The kibble is small. Haven't had any noticeable adverse reactions, poops are fine, no noticeable gas, etc.

A couple things made me choose Hi-Tek over Pulsar. Pulsar seems to have a lot of fiber. It is also lower in protein than Hi-Tek, plus there is a lot of pea in it. Pea is also pretty high in protein, so it is hard to say how much of the protein in the food is animal based and how much is from the pea. I may still try this food sometime, but not sure at this point.

As someone else pointed out though, the Hi-Tek is a pretty busy formula but that hasn't seemed to be a problem. I may use this in rotation with other foods. I tend to change/rotate foods often.

It's really what works for your fur baby. I'm glad to hear they're doing well on it.
I chose Pulsar mainly for Princess bc she's just recovering from colitis, so she needs a simple kibble (1 meat source) & a diet high in fiber. 5% is good for her, THK is higher, her vet ok'ed it so I'm comfortable w/it.
About the protein source, the meat should be high up on the list & be in the top 5 ingredients, as that makes up the bulk of the food. Salmon meal is the 1st ingredient in Pulsar, so I'm ok w/that too.

I started my Penelope on Nutrisca Grain free/ Potato free at 9 weeks and she seems to be doing really well with normal stools and maybe too excellent growth (she is alreay 3.5 lbs at 13 weeks). I am looking to keep her diet as healthy and natural as possible too. I haven't heard of Hi-Tek Naturals.

hi, oh penelope is an adorable name.
Yes nutrisca is great food.
Btw, 3.5 pounds can be a normal weight for 13 weeks, depends on body structure.
My oscar was 4 pounds at 12 weeks and now at 11 months he is 7 1/2 pounds and still very tiny dog

Has anyone had any luck getting in contact with Hi-Tek? I sent them an email a couple weeks ago about where they source ingredients from and still havent gotten a response.
