I returned my bag of 6 Fresh Fish which did contain bone fragments and exchanged for Horizon Legacy Adult. The bones we found in our bag were very sharp. I do not trust Champion these days. What else wouldn't they tell their customers about? You'd think after the pet food scandal last year everyone would be super cautious but no....

Honest Kitchen is a great product. I have used Embark as a topper and for a short while as a main food. My dogs also enjoy the Preference (veggies only) as a topper on their kibble. A few times per month, I buy a pound of ground beef and fry it up and add it to the Preference for a complete, tasty meal they love!

yes i am interested to see if she likes it. do you just add warm water and mix it? I am thinking the consistency is like oatmeal? I wont have the samples til tomorrow but will let you know how she likes it. I don't know about Orijen anymore. They are not even apologizing publicly only if you call them will they say something....

Yes the consistency is like oatmeal. You add water, mix it well and let it sit for 10 minutes. ( You can also make ahead and keep in the fridge for a day). My 4 go NUTS waiting for it to be ready. Go to their website... it's great and has lots of info. Their comparison chart of all their foods /calorie counts/ nutrient analysis etc, is great. www.thehonestkitchen.com

Yes, I would also look at Innova or Canidae. Also another good one that is grain free but lower in protein is Taste of The Wild I believe its ay 32% but they very by formula. I am feeding a Canidae and EVO mix so a little lower in protein with a little higher. When I do my change I want to try Horizen Legacy or Taste of The Wild. My dogs like the changes but I will not go back to Orijen. Like I said in another post Orijen is not the end all be all in grain free foods. My vet also asked me the other day are you dogs allergic to grains? I said no. She said why are you feeding a grain free food? I honestly could not reply. Thats why I do like mixing. Not all dogs do well on the same foods or same types of foods. Good luck with finding a new one.

ASH- thanks.. I got samples the other day of taste of the wild high prairie and the protein is 32% well she went crazy for it. The calcium is 2.1% though she is 6.5 months old, how old is your pup? Taste of the wild is all life stages so would it be ok for her with the calcium level? I can even put that in her innova.

Penny and Maggies mom- I called the honest kitchen and they suggested the "force" one to use since it's lower in protein for her age. so i will have that and some samples of "thrive" tomorrow.. will let you know..
