Hello Marc and Duke! I'm new here too. It's nice that you are considering such good quality foods. Any one of the Wellness Core, Wellness Core Ocean, Orijen 6 Fresh Fish, Orijen Puppy, or Orijen Puppy Large would be good choices. At your dog's age, he is still a puppy. Airedales reach maturity around 14 months of age. If you are going to go with Wellness, stay away from the light formula. If you are going to go with the Orijen, stay away from the adult or senior formulas. The only problem with Wellness Super5Mix Chicken or Lamb formulas is that it contains some fillers, which I don't like to see in dog food. They contain rice bran and rye flour, which are just grain fragments used as fillers. Wellness Super5Mix Senior is worse, containing only the minimum acceptable meat content and liberal use of fillers. They are all great/good foods, but not the best. Wellness Core is definately one of the best. Do they still make Canidae ALS? I haven't seen it at the stores recently. I really don't know enough about this food to make any suggestions either way on it. Wellness Core and Orijen are both excellent foods, and either one would make a great food for your dog!
Hi Kristina,
Why do you say to stay away from the Orijen Adult formula? I don't see any fillers on the ingredients list:
Deboned chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal, russet potato, lake whitefish, chicken fat, sweet potato, whole eggs, turkey, salmon meal, salmon and anchovy oils, salmon, natural chicken flavour, sunflower oil, sun-cured alfalfa, dried brown kelp, carrots, spinach, peas, tomatoes, apples, psyllium, dulse, glucosamine Hcl, cranberries, black currants, rosemary extract, chondroitin sulfate, sea salt.
I find the Wellness Core very good but a bit too pricey for me. I found a 7kg bag of Orijen Adult for $31.00 CAD. I'm not sure about the 6 fish formula, Duke is not a penguin :biggrin: lol
Thank you
Marc
