We just brought home Mikey's new food. No real reason to change he was doing well on the old food-good coat, amazing muscles- but this one is higher quality -especially ingredients and he really seems to like it.
So this is his old food
Horizon Pet Nutrition
Puports to only use human grade ingredients but has 'meal' in the ingredients; they have this question and answer page so I asked them why they say it's human grade (There is no fda regulation on using that term) and yet have 'meat meals' which by definition aren't. They never responded-not impressed lol

It's an OK food but not the best so I wanted to switch. I'm hoping to move to a 100% homemade eventually but right now we do kibble and partial home made food.
