PET FOOD REVIEW - PRIMAL FREEZE DRIED FORMULA (CHICKEN)

me: 5/5  Leo: 5/5

After me dicing it up and putting some water with it. Looked a little like canned food.

As mentioned before, I love freeze dried stuff. This food just looked and smelled really good. It was quite light but substantial. Leo had it for dinner one night and he devoured it. Looking at the ingredients, I thought that it was definitely a top notch choice.

I'm also a sucker for gorgeous packaging.

Because it is got an impressive ingredient list, it is quite a pricey food. However, I do trust and believe it is a fantastic product. So if your budget allows, I would recommend this food. They also have food for cats as well.

PET FOOD REVIEW (PETCUREAN DOG) GO! FIT AND FREE (CHICKEN TURKEY + TROUT) ADULT FOOD

Leo: 4/5 Me:4/5

After accidentally feeding him puppy food, we thought that the results were surprisingly not bad despite it was pretty high in fat and protein. So I decided to try the adult version with the same main meats. There are many meats at the front of the ingredient list, which I'm happy about. 

Leo has always enjoyed Petcurean food despite his potato sensitivity (he gets yeasty/ shakes head a lot). This one has a significant lower percentage of potatoes than the Now! line which I stay away from now. He maintained his healthy weight on this kibble and it smelled pretty amazing. 

Personally, I am still questioning the importance of grain free, as I feed my dog oatmeal occasionally and it just.. works with his body. But it's good to know the option to go grain free is out there. 

I would recommend this food if your dog does not have potato problems.

PET FOOD REVIEW - CaniSource Grand Cru Dog Food (Dehydrated) (ALS)

My review - 3.5/5  Leo's review - 3/5

On a nice saturday, the fam popped over to our favorite pet food shop, My Fluffy Friends to check out a food demo! 

On top, it says 100% ingredients approved for human consumption(impressive)but honestly I had 0 urges to taste it. The food looked very bland. 

This is definitely a gourmet food, I love the whole design of the labels - very chic. But is Leo chomping down on the the label designs? Noooo...  In the information package, there are 6 things their customers have claimed (I like science, but you know, we will work with what we've got)  

• No more allergies 
• Disappearance of tartar (This is possible since the food is quite hard)
• Improved joint mobility
• Improved digestion
• Shinier coat
• No more burnt grass 

The food smelled like nothing, which concerns me a little. Where's the smell? Where is that  FLAVORTOWN I love so much? Also they say I could rehydrate (which I regret not trying) but it just seems like another extra step. 

I received a generous sample from a demo event at a local pet food shop. Noticed right away that while Leo was eating the food, he wasn't wolfing it down like when I feed him his normal petfood (Currently Petcurean). I also noticed that he had a little difficulty breaking the food into smaller pieces (If I am correct, they are about the same size as these marrow bones and also kind of looked like them)

With the leftovers, I just toss 3 or 4 into his regular food, and use it as treats. He does a moderate tail wag for them but no EXCITEMENT EXCITEMENT he gets with other treats. I am very interested in dehydrated foods (which is a nice in between raw and kibble) But this one just seemed... brittle. 

While the ingredients actually look pretty good (First few are Deboned-chicken, Green Lentil, Chicken Liver) the protein content (24%) is not as high as I'd like it to be. 

All in all, Leo with Canisource is like me with Kale - I'll eat it, but I'm not going to be ecstatic about it unless you put on a delicious sauce. 

Again, another Canadian company. I do trust that their ingredients are good, but perhaps a little less animal protein as I'd prefer. This also seems like if you dehydrated it, would make a decent topper.

PET FOOD REVIEW (PETCUREAN DOG) PUPPY FOOD

LEO is an active senior dog that is around 4kg and I fed 1/3 of a cup of this food a day + snacks such as veggies and a spoon of yougurt. He walks average an hour a day. 

4.75/5 Leo gives it a 100% amazing delicious wow gimme more.

You know, sometimes I make mistakes. I read ingredients and percentages so diligently I forget to look at the label on the front. Definitely saw that this had fish meal and a significant amount of protein got too excited. 

So I got a sample bag. Leo adores this food. The small kibble size is fairly easy for him to gobble up, I noticed that the kibble itself is quite shiny (It is high in fat and protein to promote the growth of a puppy). And of course, there are many arguments on the internet about if a senior dog needs as much protein (I personally believe so). All in all, this, on top of many other factors, Leo gained a tiny bit of weight. (half a pound) But generally speaking, he maintained his weight and honestly, everything is pretty good and I would recommend this food. One thing I'd like to add is that due to it being quite oily, one should add a little more fibre into their puppy's diet such as Steamed pumpkin and Yams. 

A personal preference thing is that his breath smells quite fishy since it's got trout in it. One way to counter this, is with a minty gum supplement called Healthy Gums which I will do a complete separate post about soon. I've tried the home remedy of Cilantro but it didn't make much of a difference. Fish is one of the best proteins and other minerals for canine health. 

He digests this food well and his poos are looking good on this puppy food. 

I love this brand because it's Canadian and their ingredients are quite good. On active online communities, it has always been held in high regard. 

Let me know what kind of main dish you feed your Fido in a comment below!

Just thought I'd share, I am not being compensated for this review (I wish lol call me Petcurean)
