Pelican Bay brand grain-free at Costco

[dogcrazy]

Howdy,

This is my first post. I'm looking for info on the new Pelican Bay Trading Co. Pure and Simple grain-free Salmon Meal dog food just stocked at Costco. Our store never sold the Diamond-made "Domain" food that I know of, but they are selling 30# of this variety for $30. I bought one bag to try and my five dogs like it (for now, ha ha).

From the bag:

Pelican Bay Trading Company A Pure & Simple Formula
Salmon Meal with Garden Vegetables and Berries
Ingredients:
Salmon meal (preserved with mixed tocopherols), peas, potato, salmon, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid), flaxseed, natural flavor, sweet potato, dicalcium phosphate, canola oil, potassium chloride, salt, tomato pomace, cranberries, blueberries, choline chloride, minerals (zinc proteinate, iron proteinate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, cobalt proteinate, selenium yeast), yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae, enterococcus faecium, lactobacillus acidophilus, aspergillus niger, bacillus subtillis), taurine, chicory extract, vitamins (vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin E supplement, niacin, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), yucca schidigera extract, calcium iodate, rosemary extract.

Guaranteed Analysis:
Crude protein (min.) 24%
Crude fat (min.) 15%
Crude fiber (max.) 4.0%
Moisture (max.) 10%
Zinc (min.) 150 mg/kg
Selenium (min.) 0.4 mg/kg
Vitamin E (min.) 150 IU/kg
Omega-6 fatty acids (min.) 3.7%
Omega-3 fatty acids (min.) 1.0%



It obviously contains a LOT of peas to be that low in protein and calories (340 per cup). I want to switch some of my older toy breeds to it because they like it and the kibble size is perfect for them, tiny and disc shaped.

Anyone here feed this brand or have a comment on it? I was able to find out it's manufactured by Tuffy foods in Minnesota, a division of KLN manufacturers. Still don't know if it's affiliated with any other known brand.

Thanks,
Carol

It seems very good for the price, although I'm disappointed about the protein as well. It's good to see that it's preserved with mixed tocopherols instead of Ethoxyquin like Nature's Domain (they also have a salmon meal food at Costco), although I'm not sure if they are referring to both the suppliers and manufacturers. I'd prefer fish oil over canola and salt a little further down the ingredient list, but it seems good overall.

If you want something in the $1/lb range, go look at my post on Cal Natural Grain Free.

LOVE this food! I've used it for a few months off and on for my German Shepherd. He's not a huge eater and really likes this food. Very similar to TOTW's Pacific Stream version. Neither of my dogs do well on higher protein foods so personally I like that it's a moderate protein, it's easy to get (I'm frequently at Costco) and it's a great price. I've used probably 4 bags so far and it's been a hit here and I've been happy with it. Unfortunately it contains Rosemary so I cannot give it to my allergy boy and we have to stick with TOTW Pacific Stream for him (Rosemary free), but like I said my GSD has done great on it. In fact I'm just switching him back from Kirkland's Chicken and Rice back to the Pelican Bay Salmon as of last night (I bounce between the 2 foods).

Another difference I noticed between this and TOTW pacific is, it contains citric acid and flaxseed. Alot of dogs don't do well with flaxseed and citric acid is controversial. I don't like to see them in dog food. I don't know why they put them in. They should of just copied the pacific formula

even with citric acid nd flax i consider pelican bay a better formula. salmon is a high quality fish..much better than ocean fish meal or mehaden)

I guess on paper it looks better. I feed TOTW pacific with excellent results. My dog likes this formula better than the other 3
