We just switched to Health Extension. They love it! We buy it at our local pet shop. I forgot the name of it but it's right on the corner of church st and i think Johnson. If not Johnson then it's Church and Lincoln in Holbrook. It's the cheapest place i have seen it. Plus you buy 10 bags i think you get the 11th free.

We used to use Holistic Select by Eagle Pack. Cooper loved it! But he has stomach issues and after a while he needed something a little blander that agreed with his stomach.

That's not a very good dog food... In bold are fillers...

Ingredients
Bison | Ocean Fish Meal | Millet | Brown Rice | Cracked Pearled Barley | Rice Bran | Canola Oil | Tomato Pomace | Flaxseed | Natural Flavor | Salmon Oil (source of DHA) | Choline Chloride | Taurine | Dried Chicory Root | Parsley Flakes | Pumpkin Meal | Almond Oil | Sesame Oil | Yucca Schidigera Extract | Thyme | Blueberries | Cranberries | Carrots | Broccoli | Vitamin E Supplement | Iron Proteinate | Copper Proteinate | Ferrous Sulfate | Zinc Sulfate | Copper Sulfate | Potassium Iodide | Thiamine Mononitrate | Manganese Proteinate | Manganous Oxide | Ascorbic Acid | Vitamin A Supplement | Biotin | Calcium Panthothenate | Manganese Sulfate | Sodium Selenite | Pyridoxine Hydrochloride | Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) | Riboflavin | Vitamin D Supplement | Folic Acid |

It should look more like this...

Wellness Core Original

Oh wow. I had no idea. And here I thought I was giving him something better than the norm. Guess you live and you learn. They sell Wellness at the pet store I get Solid Gold from so I will make the switch and see if he likes it. It costs about the same.

Thanks!!

This is where I buy Health Extension also. I can't remember the name of the store either, but it's on Lincoln and Church. The woman is very helpful there, and she will even give you a free sample of the food to try.

ETA: The name of the store is Pet Supply Depot.

Wellness super5mix for my dog and cats. I also add the core dry for my cats but the dog is still too young.
