science diet has a reputation of being the most terrible dog kibble around. IIRC it is the corn in it. Period.

i find that they are often more honest/forthcoming than other pet stores but some ppl (esp new customers) find them a bit 'cold'

Lamb n Rice
Adult Maintenance
I have only seen this one sold by vets, must cost an arm and a leg!

would be a good starting point. google is your best friend.

if you really want to know what chicken-by-product meal or meat-by-product meal is;

QUOTE
Is meat meal good for my pet?
In its simplest, purest form, meat meal is meat with the water and fat removed. The dried meat is then ground into small granules or powder for use in pet food. Pure meat meal, as opposed to meat and bone meal or meat by-product meal, is a good source of concentrated protein which is nutritionally excellent for your pet. Pure meat meal cannot contain blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, or stomach or rumen contents, except for amounts that may be unavoidably included during processing. It cannot contain any added extraneous materials, and may not contain any more than 14 percent indigestive materials. Also, no more than 11 percent of the crude protein in the meal can be ingredients the dog cannot digest.

Some might dismiss all this as a blatant internet based anti-science plan/smear movement though, the choice is ultimately yours.

Also read this before going hunting for your next packet of dog food.

uh oh, one negative report for orijen. Care to share what breed is your furkid and how much/often you feed him/her?

i changed to eagle pack holistic because solid gold was not available for a long long time last year (until pet safari stocked it)
i have no problems with eagle pack but feel like swithcing back to a 'super premium' brand

Adult vs Puppy Food

Don't be fooled, more often than not the puppy vs adult labeling is a marketing gimmick.

From the same kibble review page we always visit!

Didn't know this before but this seems to be a pretty convincing article on kibble rotation.

royal canin, based on what i have read from the internet etc is another science plan - expensive but crappy!
think about it... different kibbles for different dog types? so my m.s. would need different nutrients from your shih tzu? Granted, a small breed needs different nutrients from a large breed, and a couch potato dog vs a working dog but isn't RC taking it too far?

always check in the 'ingredients' section when buying pet food. there are a great many regulations on this if the particular brand is marketed in the u.s.

as for RC i cannae believe that they will have seperate production lines for each kibble type, me thinks more likely than not they change the packaging only? someone care to check their ingredients list?

i dun know... why would a shih tzu need almost 2x as much fat compared to an M.S.? also, most of the ingredients look sama jer, just that their positions are swapped.
perhaps they have different formulas, 'supposedly' optimised by breed... They could perhaps market it as formula A, formula B etc

then surely the M.S. formula is wrong as most MS are allergic to chicken and corn which features prominently in the first ten ingredients.


Added on September 13, 2007, 12:36 pmyou guys are correct - if RC is super sweet/super fragrant/ super tasty perhaps like little kids with chocolate our furkids will be addicted!

Also as for the meals thingy... eagle pack holistic has many 'flavours' - i've not noticed any difference between chicken, lamb and fish varieties but the 'duck' variety i tried last time round seems to result in one of my furkids licking her 'tail' excessively
