this post and my post in the red meat tthread you told me posted misinformation...BOTH were in the form of QUESTIONS....

that aside...are you just giving them the evo as treats or using the new bag to rotate it in?
im not really sure how i could rotate in 6 pounds of food

Well, I can't figure out why anyone would even think that a dog food manufacturer is giving away bags of food that has been recalled. :confused:

That aside, I got a bag of EVO Red Meat, which I only use as training treats since my dogs are fed raw meaty bones and raw organs. But EVO kibble does a good job as a treat (in moderation).

I got a bag of EVO Red Meat. I had a coupon sent to my mom's so I will probably get a bag of the Salmon/Herring formula. AND....I tried doing the coupon thing on Natura again just for fun with my address I already used, and it went through :eek: So we will see if they mail me another one in a week or so!

Nutura pets

I will miss Evo for my diabetic cat as it really has given her a longer life and better health but I can not take a chance with Procter and Gamble owning Nutura brands aand probable changes or food sources that are iffy. I am also concerned about Wellness making changes. I have been getting my Wellness fish and sweet potato and Senior from Smart Pak for many years. My Skips seizures stopped 6 years ago after I changed to Wellness fish from Nutro AND no more phenabarb which had damaged his liver. He has been on Denamarin for 4 years for his liver. I did pickup a free EVO red for treats with the free coupon as my store had Nutura produced food still. I will be back to researching.

You can look into the Champion kibbles, Orijen and Acana. This is what I have been feeding and have been very pleased with it.

I used mine for Evo regular small bites because that is what Chelsy eats. Since they will be starting on raw in a little while, the 6 pound bags won't last us that long and whatever extra I get can go to my son's dogs.

On a side note, since Chelsy has been switched to Evo and also to 95% meat canned food, she has grown back all her hair and no longer has any red raw spots on her. This is after one vet told me she had lost her hair because she had Cushings and there was nothing we could do for her. I switched vets after that :biggrin: I noticed today when I was brushing her that she has a bushy tail for the first time in years! My son can't call her "Rat Tail" anymore!!!

I got Herring & Salmon since my dog is currently on Orijen Regional Red and I'm pretty sure it has the highest crude omega 3 level out of all commercial kibbles (even Orijen 6 Fish). I'm just going to feed it to her since it should give me about 5 extra days before I have to go out and get a new bag of kibble again. I'm sure dog treats taste better.

EDIT: Nevermind...seems like Evo's Wild Cravings treats have similar ingredients. I guess you could just feed the kibble as a treat; it would definitely last a LOT longer; it would take forever to go through 6.6 lbs of treats.

It is a designated group for people who don't like the company.
That's quite different, and predisposes any post for negativity.
I would not use this as a source- and I say this being someone who has doubts about p&g's takeover.

u can read it just fine. studies show that as long as the first and last letter are in sequence ur mind reads it fine

In those studies, all the letters in a word were present, with no extras, and spaces appropriately spaced.
Not a clusterfrack of random letters and spaces.:wink:

RC,
What people are trying to tell you is that when you type like you do it makes you look stupid and invalidates anything you say. To me it also says you are LAZY! If you are going to put so little effort into it, why do you bother to post?

I've actually used several of the coupons and got the red meat, chicken, and just picked up some of the herring and salmon formula. That kibble really smells like fish! I can smell it through the bag. LOL.
 
#33 ·
I've always wanted tot try the herring and salmon but i cant find a store that has it. when i gave Shane the red meat he threw up..but i still give it to him as treats and hes not throwing up..maybe just needed to get used to it.

om not really impressed bu the ingredient list...but i am impressed by herrings ingredient

the red meat kibble smells like kibble..or fish lol!

I'm just finishing up a 13.2 lb bag of the Evo fish formula. My guys looooved it and did great on it. I thought it was going to last longer, so I'm bummed about that. I'll keep an eye on it (and the other flavors) and when they go on sale, definitely very interested in keeping it in the rotation!

I opened up a big bag of Instinct rabbit formula tonight to begin transitioning, and holy cow, that is STINKY. I think it's worse than any other food I've smelled before lol.

Beef is more expensive to use, thats why you would see less meat meals in it then chicken formula, Canidae doesent even make a red meat formula, but their fish formula does not look great(using potato protein to bulk up the nutrient content)

almon meal, potatoes, potato protein, ocean fish meal, canola oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols), peas, tomato pomace, natural flavor, choline chloride, suncured alfalfa meal, inulin (from chicory root), lecithin, sage extract, cranberries, beta-carotene, rosemary extract, sunflower oil, yucca schidigera extract, dried enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried lactobacillus casei fermentation product, dried lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product, dried trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation extract, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, cobalt proteinate, papaya, pineapple.

they use water inclusive beef. evo red is basically a lamb product in my eyes. and lamb is a lame meat for a red aeat formula. where's all the boar, and bisons ..all water...


all canidae grain free formulas claim to derive 80 percent of their proteins from meats.

i think boar and bison and buffalo(in meal form are cooler). for a red meat formula it just dissapoints me persoanlly.

im sure it tastes good though. i dont know where id buy it. youve got me curious man.
