LMAO @ catlover!!!

Pinky you will have to look at the ingredients on the bag and grade the food so you will know. There is step by step on how to do it.

The first five is the most important. No corn, no by products and stuff like that.

I am glad that I saw the list. I was in the process of changing Storm's food. She was eating Purina Beneful Puppy Food, which is not great. Now, Storm is eating Blue Buffalo Chicken and Wild Rice for Puppies. I'm so glad that I made the switch.

Don't know if anyone is still checking this, but I have a question....Maxximum Nutrition Lamb and Rice, sold at WalMart-I would not expect it to grade well, but if I did this right, it scored 101! Here are the ingredients: Lamb, chicken meal, ground whole grain sorghum, brewers rice, ground barley, chicken fat, dried beet pulp, carrots, natural flavor, ground flaxseed, peas, potassium chloride, dried egg product, brewers dried yeast, blueberry pomace, monocalcium phosphate, taurine, Vitamin E supplement, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, choline chloride, proteinated minerals (zinc, manganese, copper), niacin, copper sulfate, Vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganous oxide, Vitamin B12 supplement, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), riboflavin, calcium iodate, folic acid. My malamute wont eat anything but lamb formulas, so if this is actualyl good, I would like to try it. I had been feeding Science Diet, THINKING it was good, now I see it is worse than the cheap walmart crap! So...am I missing somehting, or is this actually decent stuff?

YEA, I feed innova, and I saw is got an A+. Everyone always said that food was great. My dogs do wonderful on it. I add a little wellness during show season, It puts a little more weight on my mini aussies. I didn't even look to see how it does. I hope no one minds, I copied and pasted that reply to keep in my favorits. thanks for the great info

I don't see Flint River Ranch on this list. Anyone tried it? My friend pointed me to www.frrco.com/122788 for info and for Lamb it says:

To aid your sensitive pup's digestion, this formula also contains probiotics and digestive enzymes to aid in food digestion and nutrient absorption. . Size: 1 x 20 lb. bag. $32.99

They also have something called "Fish & Chips"! Formulated with all-natural Trout and Sweet Potatoes, this nugget-shaped dog food is sure to please the most demanding canine palette. Contains no Chicken, Wheat or Corn and of course is BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin-free! Size: 1 x 10 lb. bag. $32.99

Anyone else try it?

I have a friend who has been using Flint River for a couple of her older dogs (that have more specific dietary needs) and raves about it. She'd love to feed it to all her dogs, but it's a bit more expensive than she can afford to feed a whole kennel. I've heard it's great for dogs with sensitive stomachs or allergies especially.

Hey Guys, I just wanted to give you a heads up on this dog food scale. Due to the rising costs of everything some dog food companies are changing their formula. I use to feed Canidae/Felidae and when the new formula came out my cats got sick. I didn't buy any for the dogs and do not plan to.

To say the least I'm upset with Canidae and now just feeding raw until I figure what I'm going to do. I just may stick to raw!

This is an awesome list, I am glad to see it on here, but my next question is:

- What's the least expensive dog food on this list with an A or higher, and where can I buy it from?

- Is there a list like this for cat food? I have 2 cats that are always having skin problems...

THANKS!!
what's that smell??????? Louie!!!!

When I first brought Cody home he was eating Beneful. I slowly weined him off of that onto Natural Balance and he loves it. He didn't have any problems switching over.
