Fromm Grain-free

Has anyone tried Fromm's grain-free line? How does it compare to Orijen or Acana?

I found my dogs liked it better, but they are small and the kibble was much smaller in the Fromm Grain-free. I think they are pretty comparable to the Acana grainfree, and the only difference I noted was dogs got a bit pudgy on acana but not on the fromm.

I have never used Fromms, but they never responded back when I asked if they where using denatured meats or human grade meats Champion said they use human grade meats as well as use human grade meats to make there meals. Since the price is about the same, I would use acana unless your dog does better on fromm.

i got a free 5 pound back of the duck and sweet potato from black friday coupon. the kibbles are a lot smaller than what i was using, blue buffalo. i also found out my dog has stopped itching. he use to go crazy on blue buffalo. he has calmed down a lot on the itching. im going to check which ingredient is in bb that is not in fromm

I've fed Surf & Turf before. The ingredients were good, but Fromm is pretty pricey in my area and my dog still prefers Orijen.

Most dogs tolerate chicken fine but there are dogs that are allergic to proccessed chicken I see that fromm has no chicken and uses canola oil instead of chicken fat. It also doesn't contain flaxseed and if I remember right, someone posted there dog is allergic to flaxseed. It's hard to eliminate allergies with kibble since there are so many ingredients in it. That's one of the reasons rotating is good, because helps becoming allergic to a specific ingredients.

I don't think Fromm Surf and Turf uses canola oil but it does contain flaxseed unless they changed the formulas. The other Fromm dry foods use safflower oil.

Are some oils considered better than others? Is chicken fat a concern only for dogs with chicken allergies?
