It is nice to find a good with a meat meal as the first ingredient, with some added fresh meat (contains water so it is not actually as nutrient or meat dense but is at the top due to being the heaviest ingredient) without legumes or lentils, including peas. The amount of peas were found to be the issue in the 15 dog foods (not only grain free but those are the ones most talked about) that were causing heart problems for around 100 dogs in the FDA research survey. It is nearly impossible to find dog foods even grain inclusive that don't have peas as one of the top ingredients in person for us, or without other legumes and lentils which are known among canine nutritionists to not be great for dogs, even travelling out of town to big cities. For those who are afraid to go grain free, this one does have some grains. The grains they use unlike corn, wheat, and rice, are less likely to cause food based allergic reactions in dogs.Our dog is incredibly picky for a shelter animal. He immediately smelled it and turned up his nose. We put a flavored probiotic dog food topper on and he ate it all throughout the day. At least it stopped him from inhaling his food. He seems to be allergic to chicken and turkey, so this was a great alternative protein source food. It is also incredibly difficult to find foods that don't have chicken OR turkey, because it is one the cheapest protein sources available. He didn't seem to have any allergic reactions to the food, which uses an uncommon protein source of cat fish, and a more common but not excessively common protein source of whitefish. It even uses oil instead of chicken or turkey fat as the fat source, which is great for those with dogs allergic to every part of poultry.So far, so good. This came in on Saturday, my dog had her first half/half mix yesterday and stool was as expected with food change. Her second feed today was half/half and she ate it all up. I had also salmon oil to her mix because inceptions percentage for added omega 3 was low, it’s okay she uses a special oil mix anyways for her coat (German shepherds are a needy breed)Previous food fed: Rachel RaysJust to give an example of size of the kibble, I know some dogs don’t like small bites and others don’t like bigger pellets , that’s my dog, she hates larger pellets ? She’s pretty boujee and she loves this.We have experienced a little gas from her, but she is also not spayed and is in heat right now. But also with food change gas is expected alongside soft stool, I’ll provide an update once this heat cycle is over, she’s still going to be transitioning with her old food probably for about the next 2 weeksFeed amount: 41/2 - 6 cups per day.Product review:Smell: pretty good, doesn’t have an annoying odor like most dog foodsPackaging: secure and didn’t sweat in the box which I liked, our old RR bag always sweat through the bag and caused problems in the dog food bin.Ingredients: pretty happy with most the ingredients, our dog doesn’t like fish kibble? But will eat it with the salmon oil/ don’t ask/ wish it had higher percentage of. Omega 3 or sometype of natural glucosamine for joint health/ skin and coat…So far happy with the product…My senior yorkie is very picky, and wouldn’t eat any food after being adopted from the shelter. After trying this one, she started eating and will ask for more. Dog approved!This has been great for my dog who has severe food allergies. It’s very hard to find food that don’t make him vomit and this is one of them. However I’ve come across multiple times where it is out of stock from many different vendors. Having to change food on the fly often creates more issues for my pup. I just wish there was more consistency with availability.I ended up giving it to my mom cause she was out of dog food but her dogs LOVED it! They had really great poops!After allergy tests found out Cobe is allergic to corn, rice, and pumpkin, so this worked out perfect. I add cooked barley to give him the grains he needs, and I like that it has the fish oils for his skin and shedding prevention. Lower-end of premium dog food pricing, and the fish odor is not pleasant, but not too strong. Been using Inception for over a year now and he is also controlling his weight. I wish I could. LOL!
