YesBuiscuit!  Welcome to Itchmo!!   Grin  I just went out and did a search and sure enough, found it.  Its called Nutrish, this is the website:  http://drakehowell.com/products/nutrishfood

And these are the ingredients in the chicken and Veghgies dog food:

 Chicken, Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Corn Gluten Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Flavor, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Dehydrated Alfalfa, Dried Peas, Dried Tomatoes, Dried Carrots, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Olive Oil, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Iron Oxide, Dried Parsley, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Mixed Tocopherols, Niacin, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin A Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Source of Vitamin K activity), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Sulfate, Folic Acid

And these are the ingredients in the beef and brown rice:

Beef, Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Corn Gluten Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Flavor, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Dehydrated Alfalfa, Dried Peas, Dried Tomatoes, Dried Carrots, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Olive Oil, Iron Oxide, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Dried Parsley, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Mixed Tocopherols, Niacin, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin A Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Source of Vitamin K activity), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Sulfate, Folic Acid

We dont have a doggie so I dont know much about the food for them but these really sound like they have a lot of fillers?  rice, soybean meal, clorn gluten meal, more rice and oatmeal....... Undecided

It has way to many grains & glutens,+ I don't like the beet pulp,menadione,iron oxide or the fact that it doesn't say whether or not the vit E is natural.Not to mention the salt.I would think RR would be maore careful what she endorses. I seriously doubt if Isaboo eats it.

Thats kind of what I thought Leslie, it just didnt sound very good....here she had a great opportunity to be the cutting edge of pet food but all I see is more of the same.....plus the website has this on it...:

Wise guy.  Grin  Grin

Some tomato sauce, mozarella, oregano, and parmesan cheese and garlic would fix it up for me.  Then I could eat the pizza and the dogs could have the crust like they usually do.   Tongue

It actually is delicious, seriously.  Extra Virgin Olive Oil.  That is all I buy for salads and cooking and warding off the evil eye (whole 'nother story there and way off topic).  Imported from Italy.  I've found some Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (guess that would be OEVOO)   Grin  Sure beats the heck out of vegetable/canola oils, IMO.

Besides being tasty, it's great for skin ailments

Favorite treat of all dogs & cats here is pizza crust also & I love EVOO or OEVOO ! Mix it with some chopped fresh herbs & refridgerate & its a great dip for a crusty bread.
That PFI standards would put me off even if it had good ingredients.

Thanks for the website Sandi K.  What they call "wholesome grains" and "no fillers" (Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Soybean Meal) I call waste product grains and well, fillers.  They advertise "wholesome veggies" but in fact, according to the ingredients list, there is more salt than there are dried veggies.  I'd rather feed the stuff on the counter that RR is cooking in the picture!  I guess people will buy it because her name is on it and it has EVOO in it...
