good quality, limited ingredient grain free foods

dogdragoness · 10-09-2011, 11:20 PM

I have noticed that TOTW has been changing their canned high prairie formula (haven't seen any change so far in the dry) but the cans I bought today said "new better tasting formula" or something like that & I noticed that the ingredients have been "tweaked", (im mobile so I can't paste/copy text but their site is www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com)

So my question is... What do you guys recommend? I have one dog, Izze ,the older one who's kind of sensitive digestive systems I would like to get a high quality, limited ingredient food. I have been looking at: natural balance, Avo Derm,& another that starts with a "p", are these good?

Are you asking about canned food only?

Both, I would like to get the same brand of canned/dry (I feed both) I know of a few stores in this area that carry natures balance (that vet's food). Is it good?

Natural Balance is the **** Van Patten food - I am very happy with it for my dyplastic female but I do give her fish oil supplements as well. I do not think it is high enough in protein for an active working dog

I used Natures Balance for my Husky that had allergies and it worked wonderfully for him. He is living with my friend now and is a bit chunky since she isn't nearly as active with him as she could be, but that's the only thing I've seen negative.

I prefer California Natural over Natural Balance. NB is basically a bag of potatoes and really low in protein/fat.

I use Instinct rabbit for Bianca. I believe they came out with several new limited ingredient diets recently too.
