Eukanuba Naturally Wild

It looks okay but why do they have to throw that brewer's rice in there?

The thing about Euk is that it's so pricey.  Did you see how much they want for it?  Since their regular formulas are about what the super premiums cost, I can just imagine how expensive this is.

Then you can take a peek at the nutritional analyses on this site (though they wouldn't have the latest foods yet) - I don't agree 100% with their ratings (there's plenty of good foods in the "five star" category and there's even a few in the "four star";), but it's a handy dandy place to compare brands and get a roundup of all that is available.

I would be intersted in feedback also.  I have a mix that only does well on average kibble and this looks better than some of the other foods out there.

Sometimes there really are dogs who do best on "trashy" foods for one reason or another.  I had one dog who needed a diet with corn in it.  The food he did best on was Bil-Jac Select.  I finally guessed he had trouble processing linoleic acid, and when I simply supplemented that instead, he did well on any food. 

Some dogs need high levels of insoluble fiber.  Using a reduced fat or a senior or diet version of a food might be an answer for those dogs.  I used to use Canidae Platinum to transition dogs from grocery store foods to more concentrated super premium diets.  Diamond Naturals makes a senior food that is very similar to the reformulated Platinum now.  I've also used that one.

Some senior foods also are formulated to be easy to digest - the Platinum is definitely in that category, and so are all of Bil-Jac's formulas.  Californa Natural makes foods that are super simple, just a few ingredients, for dogs that don't do well on the "kitchen sink" formulas.

Most of these foods are at least in the Eukanuba price range, and most are much less expensive. 

So one doesn't need to throw the baby out with the bath water. 

I think it was something like $38 for 30lbs.

Thanks for the helpful websites!

 The price they charge is outrageously expensive for a totally grain based product. Brewers rice is crap. sorghum is a form of sugar, barley causes allergic reactions in many dogs ( including mine ).  WHERE is the meat ???? The salmon listed becomes virtually NON-EXISTANT after processing and the trace of chicken meal is WAY too far down the ingredient list to be substantial.   Just another junk food trying to jump on the holistic bandwagon by taking advantage of gullible, naive pet owners who really know nothing about pet food or nutrition. 

A fool and their money ... IMO. There are tons of  HIGH QUALITY foods out there that cost the same or less.
