Your views on By Nature pet foods

[alicefred]

Does anyone have any information about the dog food called By Nature? I found it at dealrocker.com while I was searching for discount deals on dog food. I read some positive reviews on By Nature dog food. It's a great-tasting protein combination that provides more of the building blocks of lean muscle. Can anyone shed some lights on it?

Thanks..

I agree it is carb heavy. You actually want the first ingredient to be chicken meal, since that is chicken without water in it. If it just said chicken that would be inclusive of water content. The chicken fat is also a little high on the list of my taste. Not a bad food, but I try really hard to limit grains, especially in boxers.

I had read also that chicken MEAL is better than the actual meat itself.
