Drs Foster and Smith dog food?

[wcladymacbeth]

Have you guys heard of it? I found it on this dog website my friend referred me to - Pet Supplies | Dog & Cat Supplies, Pet Meds | DrsFosterSmith.com Pet Products. Anyway, the food is a lot cheaper than TOTW that I'm feeding now... it's $104 for a case of 4 28 pound bags, so 112 pounds of dog food! It's $5.99 for shipping.

What do you guys think?

Ingredients

Chicken, Chicken Meal, Whole Brown Rice, Barley, Brewers Rice, Oat Groats, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), Beet Pulp, Natural Flavor, Dried Egg Product, Flaxseed Meal, Dried Carrots, Dried Sweet Potatoes, Dried Apple Pomace, Dried Kelp, Fish Oil, Brewers Dried Yeast, Potassium Chloride, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Taurine, L-ascorbyl-2 polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), Zinc Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Iron Sulfate, Manganese Proteinate, Zinc Oxide, Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid (preservatives), Choline Chloride, Copper Proteinate, Manganous Oxide, Copper Sulfate, Niacin, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Riboflavin, Biotin, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K activity), Cobalt Carbonate, Ethylenediamine Dihydriodide, Folic Acid, Sodium Selenite, Rosemary Extract, and Bacillus coagulans.

They also have a lamb and brown rice formula. The only thing I'm nervous about is all the rice, barley, and oats... Caesar has a bit of a sensitive stomach... but I could always try a little bit and see how it goes I think. I'm not positive that he has a problem with grains.

Seems like a whole lot of grain for just a little meat in my opinion. Add up all those grains and they're more than likely gonna outweigh any meat in the food.

I wouldn't feed it. I would do Kirkland before that food

Hmmm yeah I s'pose you're right. It is a LOT of grain.

It might be less expensive than TOTW... but it's also a big downgrade in quality. Check the calories and figure out just how much more of that food you will need to feed compared to grain-free. You'll probably make it out even!
