This probably isn't very helpful, but if you're looking for a new dog food, I'd recommend Honest Kitchen. Plus, if you buy from Leerburg, you can get free shipping with the promotion code off the weekly newsletter!

Honest Kitchen is good stuff. It`s just out of my budget. I feed Canidae and was aware ahead of time that the change was coming so I kept an old bag till I got my first new bag and transitioned my three with no issues at all. They are doing great on the new formula.
My Pet store has a special on the new Canidae 44 pounders for $39 so I picked up four bags.
The only thing needed for evil to exist is for good men to stand by and do nothing!!! |

Has your vet checked the ingredients in I/D? The canned is mostly just rice and eggs.
Here's the dry: Corn meal, brewers rice, dried egg product, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, pork fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), soy fiber, chicken liver flavor, vegetable oil, taurine, ethoxyquin (a preservative), minerals (dicalcium phosphate, salt, potassium citrate, potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), vitamins (choline chloride, vitamin A supplement, vitamin D3 supplement,, vitamin E supplement, niacin, thiamine mononitrate, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement).
Again mostly rice and eggs. The EXACT same stuff you would be giving in a homecooked bland diet. Turn the bag around(or better yet the canned) and show him that you will be feeding the exact same stuff at home. Without artificial flavors and ethoxyquin(cancer causing).

And without corn meal. Why do vets think that corn is a good source of protein for dogs? I actually had a vet tell me one time that I should feed dog chow because of the corn content since corn is an excellent source of protein (maybe for a cow). That was the last time I asked any vet for dog food advice. My picky old shepherd won't touch Dog Chow anyway ... even she knows better than to eat it, lol. IMO, Science Diet is really just expensive Dog Chow ... mostly corn.
Is brewers rice really even rice? I can't remember for sure, but it seems like I read somewhere that BR was a rice biproduct leftover after some process or the throw away part of the rice and sweepings from the brewery floor. I sure can't remember what, or even if I am remembering right at all.

PLUS, if it's used as the basis of an RMB diet, following the package directions for adding RMBs, the cost goes zooming down, depending on the price per pound of the RMBs (for example, meaty backs, with maybe a little muscle meat).
THK is not kibble, and it's great for a combo fresh/commercial diet.

Yes. Leftover throwaways from making beer.

That's what I thought ... I always wonder how much nutrition is really in any of that stuff. It's a wonder dogs survive on most dog foods.

.... and grain fractions are often involved in the worst recalls.
