New Fromm Grain Free

:)

LOVE Fromm but their grain inclusives caused Jackson the itches, or so it seemed. Really glad to see the Game Bird recipe, looks pretty good. I can't wait to try it.

I've fed some Fromm's Surf & Turf in the past and my dogs did well with it. There is no way I would feed the Salmon Tunallini. The inclusion of tuna is ill thought out IMO; because there are huge mercury issues with tuna. The Game Bird recipe looks better; but I wish these companies would stop advertising and highlighting their lead-ins with listing ingredients that are way way down on the list and provide nothing a dog needs anyway - like spinach, broccoli, eggplant.

The inclusion of about 20 ingredients in such super minor proportions is marketing to humans who think olive oil, eggplant spinach, etc. sounds great. Fromm's certainly isn't the only company to do that. Orijen does also. That doesn't make the formulas bad whatsoever; it's just not necessary.

The price for the Game Bird on one online site is $65.99 for a 26 lb. bag which is pretty pricey. I'm not convinced that it's worth it. But if someone gave me a bag I sure wouldn't mind trying it.

That was my thought too; their marketing departments are likely getting them to appeal to the owners with this.

Looks like more of the same to me....Kind of like they took their Surf and Turf and threw in a few extra interesting sounding ingredients.

Just curious, which do you prefer and why, Fromm or Orijen?

One of my dogs is on Health Extension Grain Free by Vets Choice. I've said it a million times.. I swear by compoany's food!!!

I feed raw, but if I had to pick between Fromm and Orijen, I'd definitely go with Fromm. Much more reputable of a company, IMO.

Company-wise? I prefer Fromm. But the formulas we tried ended up not working out the best for us in the end. Surf and Turf gave him major eye runnage and boogers, the Duck and Potato made him itchy and butt licking, and the Pork gave him soft poo. :(

He does best on Acana in terms of no-low eye boogers, firm poop, coat is super shiny and soft, breath smells good, etc, etc.

But I'm wanting to give game bird a try and see how it goes. I truly love Fromm but wish they had some formulas that were maybe a bit different - every formula seems to have chicken. And I wouldn't feed this new salmon tuna recipe for the reasons stated above.

I've fed Orijen, Acana and Fromm. I trust the company of Fromm more than I do Champion Pet Foods - which makes Orijen and Acana. However, on paper, and in some feeding experience, I've liked the Acana Pacifica formula as a frequent choice. That said, I would never feed it exclusively and I do like to rotate.

At the moment I'm feeding my dogs NutriSource Pure Vita Grain Free Turkey at 75% with the other 25% being fresh-cooked meat or egg.
