Hi gang,

Anyone familiar with this food or can tell by the ingredients if it is any good?  I went food shopping again today and am getting more and more confused by the minute.  I was looking at grain free, but wonder if it's necessary.  Plus it's very expensive.  Any suggestions on a compromise between decent quality and price would be appreciated.  My head is spinning again!!

I have done the math and a number of factors make it easier to swallow (for me) including: smaller serving size, a frequent buyer's program (free bag every 10), figuring it out to dollars per day, Canadian company and I know you guys have found this to be a good quality food. I did an unofficial taste test with four small piles of food today. Inova, Lifetime, Go and his current puppy food Performatrin. He democratically tasted each one in this order: Go, Lifetime, Inova and then his own. He then went back and neatly ate each pile in order from left to right :) So I guess he dosn't have a discriminating palate or he is OCD.

So for switching over, I know I should do it gradually, but how gradual? How many days should it take to switch? I understand that there could be a risk of diarrhea going to grain free right?

Thanks again!
