I haven't seem this formula in the stores yet; so I went to their website to check it out. It looks like it might only be sold in Canada at this point. On paper, it looks pretty good both in terms of ingredients and the guaranteed analysis. I like that they list simply "potato, peas" and don't use multiples like "pea fiber", "pea protein" or "potato starch".

Do you have any idea how much it costs? I would also be interested to hear which ingredients are imported - the duck meal could be likely.

Meat provides 85% of the protein in this food – perfect for the carnivore in every dog. The other 15% of protein occurs naturally from the vegetables and fruits.

looks good but for a food claiming to be mostly meat it has a lot of carbs.

I have a 17 month old Catahoula/Lab mix and I have been feeding him Performatrin Ultra Grain-Free for the past couple of months and he loves it. I took him to the vet for his yearly check up and she said whatever I was doing keep it up because he was in great shape. His coat is nice, he has great energy, good stools, etc. When I take him to his canine good citizenship classes, I feed him two hours before we go and still use Performatrin Ultra Grain-Free as his treats during class and he can't wait for them. I also used their canned products as a topper, but I don't use much. One can lasts me four feedings.

I like my local Pet Valu because the employees there are very knowledgeable and nice. They also have a preferred customer card where every dollar spent equals a point and Pet Valu brand products (Performatrin) receive double points. Every 200 points gets you $10 off your order. If I buy a 26lb pounds at $49.99 and a case of 12 cans is about $25, I leave with 150 points. Since we use their cat products too, we usually get $10 off each time.

PS - According to the people at Pet Valu this food was also featured in the Whole Dog Journal as a good food for dogs as well.

A lot of people bought this food when we first got it in the summer. I've heard good things about it so far. It is roughly the same price as TOTW (in Ontario). It is made in Canada. Not sure about U.S availability!!

[Maculato]

It's available at both Pet Valu locations in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. So I would assume it's available in most of their US stores.

Personally, I do not trust performatrin, both of my cats got urinary crystals from their ultra formulas. My male got blocked and had to be hospitalized for 2 days, so I just dont trust the company anymore. But, each pet is different so yours could be okay on it.
