We are doing fantastically on Acana. About now, I trust the Canadans more than USA. Keep us posted on it.

Oh, they use chicken in all the recipes (Lamb and rice has chicken). Leaves us right now. We don't tolerate chicken.

 

If you know of a food made and sourced in the U.S. please list it here

 

I can tell you that I've been feeding Victor for several months now. Not only is it excellent food but the price is amazing - $33 for 40lbs

I feed the Hi Pro Formula and the 4 of the first 6 ingredients are meat meals.

 

Where do you get it for this price? The closest place that sells it by me is 90 miles away and it's all in the $50 dollar plus range..

 

I believe Great Life and it's sister company, Pioneer Naturals, are both locally made and sourced in Oregon.

 

I think Fromm is completely US sourced.

Fromm does not contain any ingredients from China - Fromm Family Foods

"Does Fromm use any ingredients from China?"

"No, all of our ingredients are sourced in the USA, and all of our products are made in the USA."

 

Merrick also I think

Thanks for the info on Victor.

It does seem the Victor dog food looks pretty good. I wonder why they do not make the Whole Dog journals list of top foods.

I trust Canada more than the USA on food. Unfortunately this country does not produce very good things.


Its amazing how some good dog food has better ingredients than our Human food. Our food and meats made in the USA are banned in most countries for humans. I will never understand the dyes that are allowed in everything we consume, including medicines.

This article will have you shaking your head. I'm sure a lot of those banned meats are in dog food.

I had to change my GSD food several times due to digestive issue and Victor is what I ended up feeding. I have been feeding it for about 6 months now and Skipper'D is doing great. I get mine at the local feed store for $30.00/40lb-I use the Performance joint health that has the glucosamine and chondroitin.
Its a 5 star on the grain free and 4 star on the select- on the Dog food advisor

I wish it could be ordered from the company directly. I think mine would do well on it, if I could find it.

 

We feed Victor and are thrilled too! It's one of the few foods that Cafall's sensitive tummy can handle. We pay $27.50 for a 40lb bag. I buy it from the local farm and ranch supply store. Looks like you can get some of the Victor flavors on Amazon for $43 with the free shipping if you have their Prime membership.

So this is a 50lb bag on Amazon and everyone gets the 40Lb bag? Most companies don't sell 40 and 50 , usually it's something like 8, 15 and and 30 pound bags.

 

I go back and forth between Fromm's and Victor. Currently it's Victor. Dogs love it, and they look good too.

K9 Kravings is made in Baltimore, MD. According to their website, quoted below, they source from US and Canada. It's a raw, pre-made product that we have been feeding our pup. He's doing very well on it.


"We've earned the title of the first USDA Certified pet food nationwide and we created a product that uses fresh, human-grade ingredients including turkey, chicken, beef, elk, mackerel, duck, low-carb vegetables and our patented essential vitamin, mineral and trace mineral supplements.

You won't find any preservatives, dyes, added sugars, cereal grains, glutens, nitrates, chemicals or soluble carbohydrates in our food.

We import federally regulated Elk from Canada, as well as whole fresh Mackerel; all other proteins, vegetables and supplement mix are born, bred and raised/manufactured in the USA."

I think it's just the Victor multi pro maintenance that comes in 50 lb bags. Sport dog sells that flavor in 50 lbs as well.
Victor looks great, I'm thinking of adding that in the rotation along with Dr Tim's.

Dr Tim's is US sourced, except the vitamins are from Denmark I think. It's made in Ohio.

 

The 50 pound bag has sorgum as the first ingredient. The others have beef meal or other meat meal as the first ingredient.

It does look like decent food, if you buy it from Amazon -- no where near here has it that I know of, will check into that -- will each bag come in a box? This sucks if it does. If you are using just one or two bags a month it is no big deal, but you house will get pretty crowded with boxes if you don't break them down regular and hit the recycle, especially if you are opening several boxes/bags a week.

Some say they take 3 weeks to ship. I don't like that. if necessary I want to be able to run to the store to get a few bags.

Evenso, it looks like decent food for the most part, pricier than Diamond Naturals, but may be worth it. Maybe I can find a distributor in a feed store. Hard to compete though with TSC since they can buy tons of food, and that has to be cheaper than buying it by the bag.

 

I didnt' start this thread as a Victor advertisement. I was hoping to create a list of foods made in the USA. But if you follow the link I posted for ordering, they have free shipping.

 

Lol. I know.

Dr.'s finest which is the company that makes Great Life and Pioneer Naturals are indeed only made locally in the United States with US ingredients. I checked again today.

 

I followed your Links Jax, I checked out the shipping. I've had food shipped in for a couple of years, and I think that I would prefer to go a different route if possible, and if it makes sense cost wise. I did find a place 22 miles away, so it is possible. I put in a call, and want to get pricing and if they are still doing it.

 

I posted this a few months ago to no responses. This company has been amazing and the discounts are great. I got Orijen last week 40% off. 20% off this week, free shipping. Every week they have a different discount and Tuesdays they have another special one. No Victor but plenty of other brands

Fromm LBP is on our menu now AND its all American.....will look at other foods as he gets older.

Not made in USA but holy smokes... $131 for 11 lbs... ?? Can someone explain this to me ?

Nutrisource Grain Free. Garrison does excellent with it. That's what the breeder uses exclusively. And the company has the "buy 12 get the 13th free program." It's approximately $50 for 30 lbs.

 

Taste of the Wild is sourced and made in the US and it's readily available. I get it at Tractor Supply. It's a 6 star rated food.

 

Do you have a link to TOTW sourced and made here? I thought that was a Diamond food and they buy their grains from China.

 

They are using all Pea Products, Potatoes, Garbanzo Beans and Sweet Potatoes now instead of the grains.
Manufactured in the USA by Diamond....But SOURCED ?????????

 

You beat me to it Jax, I was asking that myself.

Do you have anything that shows where there ingredients are made or from. They dance around that on the website. No where in the faq is the question on where the food comes from, just where its manufactured

WHERE ARE YOUR FOODS MADE?
We have four manufacturing facilities, all located in the United States. One is in northern California, one in central California, one in Missouri and one in South Carolina.

When they source them out, where does the source get the food from? I couldn't find that on the website, thanks.

WHERE DOES THE WILD BOAR IN THE SOUTHWEST CANYON FORMULA COME FROM?
Wild boar is a species of pig (Sus scrofa). They are known by various names, including wild hogs. The wild boar in Taste of the Wild Southwest Canyon is wild-caught boar, sourced from a supplier in Texas.

They say the wild boar comes from a company in TX. Wonder where they company gets the meat from.

I don't- but I have emailed them and asked

 

Thanks Cindy! If you could just post it when you get a response.
