Noticed a display this weekend of the "new" SD Natures Best. I remember reading the label on this brand some time ago and am pretty sure it had a meal or grain as the first ingredient. Normally I wouldnt think a recipe was entirely new but wanted to know if anyone used it. I know SD is consider pedestrian food on this board but figured I would throw it out there. Previously have fed our pup Solid Gold Wolf Cub and now he's on Avoderm.
This is the SDNB chicken and brown rice puppy food - which has a better label to me than the Avoderm puppy does...
