| My store is doing the same promo! The Pork and Peas is chicken-free and also has no white potatoes for anyone whose dog is sensitive to those ingredients |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | My store has the same promotion. I was wondering how good is pork for them.

| My breeder told me never to feed Cooper any pork products. If you learn differently, please let me know.

| I've never had any reservations about feeding pork to dogs and I'm not sure why others do (unless their dog has a sensitivity). Obviously something like bacon or ham which are both fatty, salty, and heavily spiced are a no-no. But I don't understand why pork itself is bad as an ingredient and I don't view it as such...just another protein source. The overall guaranteed analysis for the Pork and Peas kibble is pretty much the same as the other grain-free formulas. And honestly there's probably not even very much pork in this formula anyway...I get the feeling the peas are major contributors to the protein content of this food. I guess it's just what you feel comfortable feeding but I haven't come across any research as to why you shouldn't feed pork to your dogs...maybe others have? |

| New Fromm pork uses major ingredient splitting of peas, a lot of the protein comes from peas...there's a lot of peas in that food, seriously, lots of it...they split it into: peas, pea protein, pea flour bc if they didn't, peas would be the 1st ingredient, not pork. There's only a little bit of pork in that food...

| I have heard to never feed pork to any dog, no matter the breed...and I wouldn't, but to each his own.

| There's nothing wrong w/peas...in moderation, but dogs should not be getting their protein from mainly peas. Ingredient splitting is a way to push the protein from meat further up on the ingredient list, when in fact, the splitted ingredient is actually the MAIN ingredient.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I would want to see most of the protein coming from a meat or fish not from veg.
