Nutrish-Rachel Ray's new dog food line

[MonicanHonda]

I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on it as well. If it does turn out to be a good food, maybe she's trying to get people to feed their dogs better food instead of the other walmart brands?

It's also sold at Meijer. I sent for a free sample from her website, but haven't gotten it yet. I'm interested in the price if it's less than what I feed now, I might try it.
I did see a you-tube video bashing it, i'll try to find it later. The people seemed like jerks who didn't know much, but just wanted to bash R.R. So I kind of scoffed at it. I think I just found it by searching for info on the food in general.

I like that the first two ingredients are meat and not meat by-products. But personally I would never EVER feed my dogs something that has corn in it, especially when it in the first 5 ingredients. Beet pulp is another ingredient in it that I don't like. Also it says Animal fat, but it does not directly tell you what type of animal it is. I guess it's ok if the only dog food you can buy is Wal-Mart food. IMO If people have to feed there dog a grocery brand food; the only brand I have found that I like is Kirkland.

Also to add I find it weird that the chicken and veggies brand looks almost identical to her beef dog food.

That's pretty much what I thought too.

I guess you could say it's better than a lot of other lower end dog foods.

I like kirkland also, thats what I feed. The chicken in rice I found compares to california natural ingredients but the poops are not as firm so there must be more filler in the kirkland.

I've never heard of Kirkland... Now I'm just interested in what you guys think is the best food for a reasonable price. (For me that would be about 28-30 dollars for a 35 pound bag....)

[Flatcoatluver]

Well I think for a resonable bag of food is $40 for a 35lb bag. But I spent a lot more on my dogs food because they eat a combination of EVO and raw.

[caseysmom]

Kirkland is costco's brand and in my opinion it has amazing ingredients for the price, I think I buy a 40 lb bag for maybe just over 20 dollars, I really don't remember how much it is.

I pay $35-38 (depending on if I can find a 5 off 20 coupon) for a 37.5 lb bag of Nature's Recipe Fish & Potato (Linky). It has no corn, no wheat, no beet pulp, no by-products... I think its a good food. And Eli scarfs it down, which is whats important.

Dogs can live on the lower grade kibbles.. When I was younger (15yrs ago), my dalmatian (RB) lived on Science Diet and then Kibbles N Bits and then Ol' Roy. We didn't know about dog foods and grades. She lived to be 14.5 before succumbing to cancer. Now that I'm the decision-maker, I would never ever feed those to any dog.

I feed Honda Nutro Lrg Brd Senior. I agree, not the best food, but I think it's a pretty okay food for the price.
