Great marketing- but you're paying a whole heck of a lot for another lamb-meal based dog food. The fresh 'local, free-range, heritage' meat is probably a relatively small part of the actual nutrients in the food, because fresh meat is over 80% water. Hence, lamb meal, is #1 meat ingredient. How are peas or potato starch part of the ancestral diet? I've become a bit cynical of the whole grain free movement. Marketing genius, for sure. I think it depends on the food (even within brands!!) You've got to be able to wade through the hype and marketing to figure out what you're actually buying. For instance ACANA Ranchlands has 2 meat meals and 1 meat then potato and pea, then 5 out of the next 6 ingredients are meat/meat meal/animal fat. So I'm pretty comfortable that I'm getting a lot of meat protein with that food. FWIW, I got a small bag of Orijen earlier this summer to have for training treats. I wanted to figure out what the heck all the hype was about! That food was the first kibble that I opened up and thought, wow, this smells good. My dogs Loved it as treats. So while I'll never feed it solely because of the higher cost, I'll keep it on hand for training treats. K-9 Knitter
