Castor & Pollux Ultramix Adult Canine Fomula Dry Dog Food, 30-Pound Bag

After switching my cats from Iams to Castor & Pollux, we decided that it was the dog's turn. Our three medium sized dogs (all around 45lbs) had been eating Iams Lamb Meal & Rice Formula for about 3 years. Even though Iams is considered a premium food, our concerns were:

(1) the third ingredient is corn meal and one of the proteins is chicken by-product meal (Chicken by-product meal consists of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice).

My dogs seem to love this stuff. It is neat to see the dried fruit bits in the mix of this dog food, my dogs love the bits so much they lick the bowl clean to get all the crumbs.

I will try to stay with this dog food if cost permits as I had originally purchased from Amazon when there was a special discount offer on it.

I am also impressed with the shipping/packing of the dog food. I was worried that would receive bag of dog food that was worn out from shipping but it arrived inside appropriate box and with paper filler for safe shipping of dog food. Very happy!

I have a dog who is a very picky eater. I'd been giving her homecooked meals for about three weeks, but the vet said that I should get her something more nutritionally balanced and more geared towards canines. I got this one because it looked like it had good ingredients (i.e. the first ingredient isn't corn meal) and it was a reasonable price. Normally, my dog won't eat dry food for nearly two days (no joke) after she's had homecooked and/or wet food. To my pleasant surprise, she started eating the food within 24 hours. She's been on it for a couple of weeks now and she doesn't seem tired of it.
