They must have just started to import it here (I placed an order and it had a number 39 on it ). I tried to find a topic that had a way of scoring a dogfood based on its integents and couldn´t but as much as I can figure, this food should be pretty good. But I whould really appreciate input from someone that knows more than me

Corn is up there pretty high, which is not so great, and it has a fair amount of grain in it as a whole. The first ingredient is what there's supposed to be most of, but since so much of that weight is moisture, there's actually more grain in it than anything. Make sense? I would try Canidae, Chicken Soup, even Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance if you can get those. Those are all in the same price range, but have more meat and less grain if you cannot afford to go grain-free or raw. Edit-just noticed that another formula (puppy) does not have corn...and does have chicken meal and fish meal, but rice is the second ingredient after chicken...not sure which list I looked at first, so apparently some formulas are better than others, but IMO, the ones I named are still better foods. This is what my post was based on: Fresh Chicken, Ground Rice, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols a source of Vitamin E), Corn (Non genetically modified), Chicken Meal, Corn Meal, Hydrolized Chicken, Dried Beet Pulp, Dried Apple, Salmon Oil (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Flaxseed Oil (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Olive Oil (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Potassium Chloride, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin k activity), Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid (B-Complex Vitamin), Biotin, Folic Acid, Choline Chloride, Ferrous Carbonate, Zinc Oxide, Manganous Oxide, Potassium Iodide, Potassium Selenite, Potassium Sorbate.

Knowing what to look for, look out for, tricks in labeling.... http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/how-do-you-rate-the-foods.html Shannon Just read further and I would stay away from anything with menadione(synthetic Vit K) in it. Has been linked to liver problems. Bacteria in a healthy intestine should be able to synthesize all the Vitamin K dogs need. Edited by Shannon Reed (06/05/2008 05:35 PM) Edit reason: add information
