    Thumbs up Earthborn Primitive IS THE BEST FOOD FOR THE MONEY

    Whenever most people ask what the ebst food for the money is, i usually respond with taste of the wild if you can afford the 1.50/pound plus range...and diamond naturals/4 health for those who are dead broke.

    but earthborn primitive naturals is THE BEST FOOD FOR THE MONEY.

    at 39.99 per 28 pound bag from doggiefood , with free shipping on two bags, and considering it is imo the best food out right now regardless of price, I see no reason why anybody feeding kibble should NOT at least TRY this food, if they aren't broke.

    totw cost me 49 and change at my feed store.
    2 bags of totw from doggie food is 92 shipped

    so per pound primitive natural is 1.43
    totw is 1.53

    and earthborn is a much better food



    hey meggles how do i get a rep position i need a job :p

    in kibble fresh meats are mainly for show. have you noticed that once orijen increased their fresh meats from 70 to 80 their protein dropped? that is because there is less meat in the food. meat meals are true meat when it comes to kibble. also orijen is loaded with potatoes and peas, while earthborn has one type of potato after all the meat meals. also orijen is 2.40 per pound for the cheapest.

    orien is a good food, but i prefer earthborn.

    one other thing ive noticed about orijen is the bags are always greasy. i was tempted to buy orien at the feed store, and i noticed that the 6 fish was literally MOLDED to the kibble....you know how bags are usually loose, and you can grab a bag, and pinch it...well the orijen was molded to the kibble ha. and was greasy

    ive bolded the bad ingredients of each food. to be fair tomato pomace(the filler in earthborn) is prob the best filler you can put in a food.
    i did not bold egg product in earthborn, as eggs are good for dogs, and i think even an egg product is better than nothing, although ill give orijen the win for using fresh whole egg.
    egg product in earthborn isnt a substantial portion anyways, same with tomato pomace. the only bad ingredient is potatoes

    I still like to see fresh meats. They aren't as processed as meat meals.

    While I dont think its the best, I think its slightly better then Totw for less. I also got it from doggie food (cant find it locally) plus some treats and shipping was free over $50, so pretty good deal overall. Uno seems to like it and his glossy coat has returned since nutrisca, so I'll keep it in rotation.

    Glad you are liking it Dave *it's Dave right?*

    My guys did well on it and they loved it. I really believe in the company and think they are a pretty decent company.

    Where are you from? i can email my old boss and see if he has any positions in your area or get in touch with the territory manager from whatever area you are from.

    im in new jersey, and am unemployed partly because i am spoiled, and don;t want a job...so it'd be great to have a ob id actually care about..like this one.
    although if i recall, you didn't specifically choose to work for earthborn, you were randomly assigned?

    There was an ad on Craigslist but it didn't specify what food company, though, I was relieved when it was Earthborn.



    You'd have to be a good worker. I can't recommend someone who isn't going to do a good job ;) Have you had a job before?
