Horizon Pet Food - any opinions?
I came across this at Pet Planet... How does it look to you? I was thinking of including the cat food in my rotation of kibble for my babies.

It's good stuff for sure, I'd feed it. To my cat or dog. The only reason I didn't go with this for my dog was back when I was choosing a food, they didn't have a large breed puppy formula, but I did take a sample pack in to my vets office and he approved of it, and he approved of Orijen, which is whta I feed and love. He doesn't sell either tho.
Not that I really agree with my vets opinions of the food he sells. But he agreed it was good stuff. Both critters eat Orijen and love it, they do really well on it.

The only thing that would concern me is the "pea starch concentrate". Does anyone know anything about this ingredient?

I know this thread is a little old, but I wanted to put my .02 cents in. I have recently ( about 2 months) changed Shadow's food from Eagle Pack Holistic to the Legacy-Horizon brand.
My reasoning was that Shadow has always had some sort of allergy issue and the Legacy is 100% grain free. Well to my surprise I have noticed, already, a marked improvement...his eyes no longer water or cry, his nose , which was always snotty and crusty , has gotten well again. I know 2 months isn't nearly enough time , but I think the legacy has made a big difference. |

That is good to know, Shadowkins, as I am also interested in finding out more about Horizon Legacy. I'm wondering if I should try it out, maybe switch it around with Orijen from time to time.
I do have one concern, though it may not be a huge worry... Orijen uses fresh foods, daily making their kibble according to the amount of fresh ingredients they get each and every day. Horizon does not do that, they don't state they do. I know most dog food companies don't use all fresh ingdts. all the time as Orijen does, but is that a good enough reason not to try out the Legacy by Horizon? Anyone care to comment? Thank you |

Marketing ploy. We're talking about dry food here, which is about as far from "fresh" as you can get. Kibble is a highly rendered product with an unnaturally long shelf life. It sits in warehouses and on trucks and in stores for who knows how long, so equating it with freshness is a contradiction in terms. Not to say it isn't a decent product for what it is, but it has more in common with breakfast cereal than a juicy chicken breast.

This is not the Horizon Legacy grain-fee kibble, which is excellent, but unnecessary for Rufus, as he has no allergies or other problems with digesting good-quality grains like barley, rye, and oats. |
