Susan,

Thanks for the review. That was the review for the old or original formula they made. They have just started putting out a the new "so called improved" formula that uses diversified carbs. What it actually comes down to is that rice prices were going up in cost and they had to reformate their foods. Here's the link to their web site which states their new ALS formula. http://canidae.com/dogs/all_life_stages/dry2.html

Chicken meal, turkey meal, lamb meal, brown rice, white rice, rice bran, peas, potatoes, oatmeal, cracked pearled barley, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), millet, tomato pomace, natural flavor, flaxseed meal, ocean fish meal, choline chloride, sun cured alfalfa meal, inulin (from chicory root), lecithin, sage extract, cranberries, beta carotene, rosemary extract, sunflower oil, yucca schidigera extract, dried enterococcus faecium, dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried aspergillus oryzae fermentation extract, dried bacillus subtilis fermentation extract, saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation solubles, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic acid, cobalt proteinate, organic selenium, papaya, pineapple.This web site tells you about their new improved formula; http://canidae.com/new-formulas.html

I emailed the company about the addition of the oats, barley and millet and was told that those are alergy free ingredients..actually they say this on their web site where they are promoting the new formula change. isn't barley in the wheat family and a high alergen? How can they tell people those ingredients plus the white rice are safe?

Just from looking at the new ingredients list I could tell it wasn't good but needed your input just in case I was wrong.

Thanks,

Kim
