| Glad to see you've got one in mind, hope Galen does fantastic on it! FYI, if there's other sources of protein coming from veggies like peas or from grains like corn, the actual crude protein coming from the actual meat protein is less.

| Good read on Pea Fiber here, it's an insoluble fiber, so it will add bulk to the stool & help the food pass through the stomach & intestines. Wonder why they need this? It's a highly processed food & it needs help getting digested. Another Pet Food Filler Ingredient Revealed: Pea Fiber Talks about tapioca here, it's essentially a binder/filler. It's in some grain free kibbles to help bind it. It's not considered good bc it's high up on the ingredient list, so there's a significant amount in the food. Raw Kibble: Is This Pet Food Good for Your Pets? Since Earthborn gives out samples, I would try it & see how Galen does on it. If he does well (nice firm poopies is a way to tell), that's all that matters. The above 2 ingredients will not hurt him. There's going to be something in EVERY kibble that's not nutritious for a dog or cat...there's no perfect kibble. You can supplement by giving canned food or fresh veggies (slightly blanched & blended is best), boiled/cooked chicken or salmon, etc. all w/no additional seasonings. Help put some moisture into his diet & a little more protein bc actual protein coming from a meat source is much much less.

| Have you decided on which food you're going to try with Galen? Toki is currently eating the EB Meadow Feast...she's lost a couple ounces on it (which is good in our case!) and I have Teddy on CC Open Sky. I also picked up a bag of the grain-inclusive CC (Chicken and Pearl Millet) when I had my store special order for me so I'm curious if those formulas are as good as the grain-free. So far so good for both pups! |
