Comments on: Proctor and gamble to purchase Natura/Innova pet products.? http://cesy.com/proctor-and-gamble-to-purchase-naturainnova-pet-products/ Cesy's Pet Supplies Savings Sat, 12 May 2012 06:47:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: PUNKem733 http://cesy.com/proctor-and-gamble-to-purchase-naturainnova-pet-products/#comment-1131 PUNKem733 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:10:07 +0000 http://cesy.com/proctor-and-gamble-to-purchase-naturainnova-pet-products/#comment-1131 Look into Horizon Legacy, Orijen, Pinnacle Peak Protein is OK though a level lower than Legacy, and Orijen. Wellness Core is a good food also. Go Naturals Grain free Endurance is also another high quality food. I would be wary of anything made by Diamond. They are the king of recalls, and you couldn't pay me to feed a Diamond product. Anyway in all honestly I'm glad that Natura was bought up, this is pushing me to feed my boy a prey model raw diet.

This is going to be a independent entity. Meaning Natura will still have control over their product and no products from china! Owners of Natura are in the mid 70's and it was time for them to move on. I feed my 3 dogs EVO and my cat EVO. I to had concerns and that is why I called Natura yesterday. My pets love their product and I am going to stick with it. Natura is going to still make the food at their plant. This is going to be a independent entity.

If you check out www.dogfoodanalysis.com you can take a look at ratings and reasons for the ratings on almost all dry kibbles out there. If you're feeding Innova EVO, then you'll want to stick with a grain-free food... Orijen is probably the best of those, but Wellness CORE, Taste of The Wild and Instinct are the main grain-free top quality foods. If you didn't feed EVO then finding a comparable quality would probably be fine.

I use their ALS, but they have several varieties. Been using them for two years now and been very happy. It's a good choice budget-wise, too, at $ 1 per pound in the largest bag and 468 calories per cup. http://www.canidae.com/dogs/all_life_stages/dry.html ETA: Here's an article about the purchase of Natura Pet Products by P&G: http://sanfrancisco.bizjournals.com/sacramento/stories/2010/05/03/daily36.html?q=Natura%20pet ETA: Not sure why the TD, but Canidae is still independently owned. They have entered into an agreement with Diamond to produce many of their products, but they are still independent. If you have concerns about Diamond, call Canidae. They will tell you which products are manufactured in Diamond plants. Very responsive. If you were feeding the Innova brand, Canidae would be an option for you. So would Wellness.
