"Before Grain" Dog Food

[Ron]

has anyone tried the "before grain" line from Merrick? The ingredients looks pretty good.

It's available in Both The US And Canada


Before Grain Chicken 1lb

Before traditional grain based diets were invented, mealtime for generations of dogs was provided by nature. Our new Before Grain product line provides a diet rich in high quality meat and bio-available nutrients the way nature intended. We believe a diet based primarily on fresh meat, super blue fruit, nutrient dense vegetables and high quality oils contribute to overall health and longetivity.

Fresh Chicken is the #1 ingredient - there are NO grains, fillers, by-products, artifical colors, flavors or preservatives!

We've formulated our Before Grain dry kibble varieties with
your "everyday extraordinary" dog in mind, and the result is the most palatable, grain-free dog food on the market. This is the way food was supposed to be, before grain got involved.

doesn't look so bad at all

[Tombo]

Really looks good. If I didn't Have my dog on Royal Canine i would probably go with that.

[Luther90]

wow that does look like a good food. I like how there is more than one protein source

[KeeperBoy]

We tried the "buffalo" version...but there is hardly any buffalo in it, mostly chicken meal. Both dogs had the runs... Keeps was sick for nearly two days. I'm sure it will work for other dogs but not for mine. The only grain free that has ever worked for us is the Nature's Variety.
