[Frenchy]

I went to the animal food store in my area this morning and the owner gave me samples of an holistic food he will have in stock soon. It's call Holistic Proseries. Anyone know that brand ? First ingredients ; chicken meal,fish meal, ground brown rice, whole barley, whole oats , chicken fat.... this doesn't impress me , am I wrong ?

If I remember correctly, they will sell it about $35 for a 18 pound bag !

Well, it's better than foods with mystery meats, but still- so many things in there to be allergic to- wheat, corn high up on the list... Just not too meaty and the grains are crappy ones.

Well, the mystery fish is mystery fish but with specifics in brackets: Fish Meal (Herring & Anchovy)....

Sorry! That's not the "holistic one". This is:

Chicken Meal, Fish Meal (Herring & Anchovy), Whole Brown Rice, Whole Barley, Whole Millet, Whole Oats, Chicken Fat preserved with Mixed Tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), Whole Flaxseed, Brewers Yeast, Calcium Carbonate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Propionate, Citric Acid, Yucca Schidigera Extract, Choline Chloride, l-Lysine Hydrochloride, Chondroitin Sulfate, Glucosamine Sulfate, Dried Green Peas, Dried Tomato Pomace, Dried Blueberries, Dried Cranberries, Ground Ginger, Dried Rosemary, Dried Sage, Dried Fennel, Mint Leaves, Zinc Methionine, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Taurine, l-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C activity), Vitamin E Supplement, Copper Lysine, Manganese Methionine, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Selenium Selenite, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin Supplement, Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (source of Vitamin K activity), Thiamine Mononitrate, Vitamin B-12 Supplement, Riboflavin, Calcium Iodate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Cobalt Sulfate, Vitamin D-3 Supplement, Bacillus Subtilus, Bacillus lichenformis, Bacillus Coagulans.

Better grains than the other ones but still not special, IMO...

If it didn't have menadione sodium bisulfite complex in it then it would be pretty good for the price IMO.
