OOOOOHHHHHHH something I know LOTS about since that's now Mike's business!!!
Ok, the N.V. Prairie...
Freeze Dried: EXPENSIVE!!! We have it for $25.99 for a small bag. You just need to re-hydrate it and you're good...it's good for people who take their dogs camping or hiking because it's lightweight.
Raw: We have Tigger on this and he has gained 7, much needed, pounds and looks great! It IS expensive as well. We give him (he weighs 49 pounds now) a patty and a 1/2 per day (along with one cup of dry Canidae) and one bag lasts one week and it's $20.00. He seems to like the beef the best. He hated the Chicken/Turkey. He did like the Venison as well, and we haven't given him the lamb.
Nature's Variety also have dry food, one of which is Raw Instinct and it has no grains in it. Tigg did NOT like it, but, we have people whose dogs LOVE it. They also have: Lamb and Oatmeal, Beef and Barley, Chicken and Brown Rice, Salmon and Brown Rice...
There are many excellent brands of dry food as well. We carry 20 of the top 30 rated dog foods as stated by Whole Dog Journal. If you start using the higher quality foods, you really don't need to worry about digestive issues when you change foods. Our dogs have had just about every kind of food we have and we didn't mix it before changing and there was not an issue. Canidae is what most of them get most of the time though. Sox is on Canidae Platinum because of her weight, age, and the glucosomine and chondrotin. George is on Pinnacle Duck and Potato because of his digestive issues. Shawna is on Merrick's Wilderness Blend because she does so well on it, and of course Tigg is on the raw diet....
