Question for Mordy...

[Tinaweena]

I'm going to switch Boone from his Canidae All Lifestages just to give him a bit of variety...
We have Petsmart, and Petcetera available to us in our area.
They carry Nutro Max...this is the ingrediet list.
Top Ten
Ingredients Guaranteed Analysis
Chicken Meal
Wheat Flour
Ground Whole Wheat
Rice Bran
Poultry Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of natural Vitamin E)
Corn Gluten Meal
Ground Rice
Lamb Meal
Natural Flavors
Yeast Culture
Protein 26.0%
Fat 16.0%
Fiber 4.0%
Moisture 10.0%



what do you think??? Or what else do you recommend that is readily available. I've already checked around here and cannot find Innova EVO or that's what I'd be getting.

First five ingredients in Canidae

Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Brown Rice, White Rice, Lamb Meal

First five in Nutro max

Chicken Meal, Wheat Flour, Ground Whole Wheat, Rice Bran, Poultry Fat


Canidae doesn't even have corn or wheat fillers, sems to be that Nutro max would be a huge step down., I'd stick to Canidae.. but I'm sure Mordy knows betters

 

[Tinaweena]

Yeah, I like the Canidae, but he's getting less, and less interested in it, so I'd like to give him something a little different just for variety.
So I'm trying to find one that is comparable quality wise, but different.

Hmmm, do you know what's available in your area? Are those two pet supply places the only ones available? What about feed stores? Feed stores often carry the better brands!

According to natura's site, these two places sell their products:

Parkdale Pet Place
(519) 884-6043
478 A Albert Street
Waterloo, ON N2L 3V4

Pet Valu
(519) 886-6234
94 Bridgeport Rd E Unit 3...
Waterloo, ON N2J 2J2


Are you close to these? I went off of your profile which says you are in Waterloo....

Edit: Or what about adding some canned food in if Canidae has a decent canned food?

 

[Tinaweena]

Yup I'm in waterloo Those two places have Innova??

They carry natura products, I would call them to see what exactly they carry!
Good luck!

 

[Tinaweena]

Thanks a bunch , I'll check them out.

 

[Mordy]

Nutro Max is even lower quality than Nutro Natural Choice. Definitely a food to stay away from.

 

[Tinaweena]

Ok, I guess I'm going out and doing label reading tonight

did you call those stores? do they not have innova?

 

[Tinaweena]

Nope no Innova! It's bizarre I can't find it anywhere around here.

weird! what about some of natura's other lines? naturapet.com

 

[Tinaweena]

Yeah I'm gonna go to the pet store and try to find another premium food tonight. If I can't find anything to my liking I'll ask them to order the Innova, and phone around till I find somebody that will.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

Good luck!
