I guess I should ask before I run off hunting stuff up for you...are you trying to stay grain free or are some grains acceptable and if, so which ones?
I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember good ol’ Yorco dog food.
It was basically powdered beef and blood meal with crushed whole yellow corn scattered throughout for “fiber” and vitamins.
ALL dogs loved it and thrived on it.
The stuff had to be mixed with water before use and at least doubled in volume so a 25 pound bag was actually at least 50 pounds of good food.
We kids fought over who got to ‘slop’ the dogs because it smelled *wonderful*, like roast beef.
My cousin said it tasted great...LOL
Sure wish they still made it.
It would be a grand kibble “topping” for picky eaters.
I forgot to mention that my dogs get cooked ground beef/venison/chicken/turkey and salmon as well.
I’m sure those are altering their overall nutritional status by some degree.
No need to hunt things down for me, but thank you. I would prefer to stay grain free. The grain free formula of Earthborn is slightly better, but yes the peas are a concern and one reason why I hadn’t switched already. But, at close to half the cost of Orijen it’s mighty tempting. The price of Orijen was tolerable when I was working, but I’m a stay at home mom now and with our income cut in almost half and 3 GSPs to feed, the Orijen is a big chunk of the monthly budget. I was feeding Innova, but switched to Orijen when I found out P & G was buying Natura.
