I'm feeding Orijen, a Canadian product. I don't know where you live, but
I
think it's great. It scored 120 on the "Food Grading System" listed here
in
another post, the highest score of any other listed. It has no grain or
cereal products at all, and all "named" proteins, e.g. "chicken, turkey,
eggs, whitefish" etc.

Personally, I would not feed something that contained no
carbohydrates. I thought that grading system was
interesting but a little wacky.

I didn't say no carbohydrates, I said no cereal or grain. It has fruit and
veg in it. I mentioned the protein sources because often dog food lists
them as unnamed "meals" or "by-products". Here's a list of the nutrional
breakdown and list of ingredients. Sorry you misunderstood.
