With Kirkland food I am concerned if it is true that Diamond either makes or manufactures this? Its a mediocre food . You can compare the ingredients to like wellness and well of course wellness is a better product. But in the kirklands products there is no corn in the lamb and rice formula but~if your dog has allergies, there is beet pulp in it and brewers yeast along with a lot of grains. They are also questioning the fish mealin it~ if it is Ethoxyquin free! Why I call it mediocre is I am a fan of premium foods so I would rather feed like wellness or Innova, Evo where Innova has grains EVO does not or Orijen they are just better quality dog foods. I am thinking Kirkland is just an ok food not great~ not bad, but if Diamond is truly involved I would not bother with it! The treats your feeding are great! I just dried beef liver (outside in the food dehydrator) that the dogs love! Going to do chicken breasts next!
But again I am one who thinks if a dog is doing fine on the food then it is a good thing!
Merirck wet is good but now after hearing about Evangers under processing ( this was a while ago the summer I think) I had some cans gee a while back that I returned. I have not bought this since but maybe they are fine now! I know my dogs loved the Evangers but when I hear things I go anal about it !
