New EB formula, lamb.

Neat this is an update on facebook Meadow Feast - Ingredients : Earthborn Holistic Pet Food

I only I could see see any EB formulas again on sale were I live :/

I saw this the other day! I actually was considering adding it to the rotation. I like having a grainfree option from them that is a bit lower in calories and fat. But Earthborn is not sold anywhere around here. I also don't really know anything about them as a company and where the food is sourced, produced, etc. Could someone fill me in a little on Earthborn?

It is made by Midwestern Pet Foods in Indiana. Same people who make ProPac which has been around for many years.

I used to work for them and think they are a very stand up company. Abbie has done amazing on the great plains feast and primitive natural. I'd love to try her on this one too.

Looks interesting, but I'm not confident about the meat content and how much of it comes from lamb vs peas.

My hesitation also. Peas are high in protein and peas are listed as the 2nd ingredient, pea protein #5 and pea fiber #6.

It wouldn't make me not feed the formula; though I would feed it at 75% and add fresh meat for the other 25%.

Are peas bad for dogs or just in case if it's the main protein source?

As a vegetable, peas are just fine for dogs. I just wouldn't want any plant-based protein to be the primary protein for my dogs.

This is a very good example of a good company doing something stupid, like Fromm. For heaven sakes, many regular people do not know that poor quality lamb cannot be used in large quantities because of the ash levels, so a concentrated protein source is used. This food is 25% protein even with "pea protein".

However, 25% protein is about right for the normal dog. A much better alternative would be Annamaet Encore at 25/14 with all human grade ingredients and no derivative protein. Precise Foundation as well.

The company's owns Pro Pac Adult Chunk for half the cost is better.
