I am reading the multiple reviews here and such differnces. I was talking to quite a few people and this is one of the best brands they recommended. I right now am switiching my dogs over to this but it is gradual process don't want them to get upset tummys from the switch. It is a slow process but they do really like the canidae als original. I from all I have read here am hoping I am making the right choice! I thought this was much better in reading the ingrediants than any other foods so I am continuing on with the transition and will hope for the best.
