I went grocery shopping today at a Fred Meyer (I'm in western Washington State) and found that they were now carrying a new refrigerated dog food and had installed a special refrigerator in the dog food section. I read the ingredients and was pleasantly surprised. It's not the best, but pretty darn good so it's not something I'd probably feed as a main food, but I did buy a few tubes on sale and my girls went batty for it. On sale it was 1.66 per pound. Thought it would be a nice treat and good as an add-on occasionally. I feed Innova regular with extras such as scrambled eggs, meat and yogurt.
Our Fred's has a wonderful organics and naturals section where I buy many of our groceries, and I noticed that they are also carrying two new dog food kibbles in that section. I don't remember what they were but I wasn't happy with the ingredients so I didn't bother to note them. But I was quite pleased with the Freshpet ingredients. And very happy to see such progress in pet foods available in a small town grocery. (They also carried Brandon Farms Naturals canned which had decent ingredients too.) Anyway, I couldn't find this food mentioned here when I did a search so thought I'd add it for info's sake.
Here's the ingredients of the beef tubes I bought:
Ingredients:
Beef, chicken, beef liver, eggs, beef broth, carrots, brown rice, peas, rice bran, soy flour, carrageenan, salt, natural flavors.
Vitamins:
Choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, niacin, biotin, riboflavin supplement, manganous oxide, thiamine mononitrate, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, folic acid.
Minerals:
Calcium carbonate, zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, copper proteinate, copper sulfate, niacin, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, thiamine mononitrate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite.
