Looking for a new kibble

[Gail & Bogey]

Bogey has been eating Acana Regionals for three years but has become bored with it and will only eat it if he's starving. He's always like variety so I switch up flavors but seems that's not enough now. I went to Pet People store where they only sell quality food and was given samples of Zigniture, a Natures Logic and Tripe Dry - Pet Kind. Found Zigniture on the recommended list but not the other two. Natures Logic looks like a good food to me, any reason it's not on the list? Not sure about the Tripe, hear it's pretty stinky.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

Yes, tripe is very stinky. 

I don't care for some of the non-food" ingredients used in the Nature's Logic kibble formulas to boost certain vitamin and mineral levels.  And those things aside, I'd have to verify the sourcing to include them on the list. I'm adding it to my "to do" list. :)

Zignature is a great food, though, so if you want to switch, I'd go with that.

This is what I found on trutthaboutpetfood.com: How do you select vendors – suppliers of ingredients?
Nature’s Logic selects vendors that can supply ingredients from the USA and other countries with good food safety practices, such as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Europe. We also require that our vendors can guarantee that the ingredients do not come from China, and that they are tested to be GMO-free and contain no chemical preservative, herbicides, or insecticides.

What are your routine tests done on ingredients and on the finished product? Do you test ingredients for heavy metals? Fluoride? Any other contaminants? Are these results available to the public?
Our ingredients and finished foods are tested to ensure there are no harmful bacteria, as well as for guarantees of protein, fat, fiber and moisture. They are also tested for potential rancidity, aflatoxins, and vomitoxins. We have also have done random testing for fluoride because a number of consumers have asked about this. Chemically-synthesized minerals added to nearly every other food is a key source of heavy metals, but we don’t use man-made nutrients. We have made test results available upon request.
