petslave...If I remember right it was for California Natural lamb and rice..Plus Evo I dont know if it was dog or cat food

I am concerned about hair in this food..First,  The statement that this is some kind of meat marbeling or conective tissue is BS...That sort of thing doesn't stick out of the kibble and feel like a hair so it's either hair or some kind of artificial substance.

Second, Where did it come from the animal that was killed for the food or the sweepings from the slaughter house floor.

Third, I'm not paying damn near 50 bucks for a bag of hair. Natura claims to use human grade ingredients...Would you eat a steak at sizzler that had hair sticking out of it...

It is my job to keep my animal safe... she relys on me to provide her with edible foods not hair or blue plastic/rubber or what ever it is..

I have been watching this thread for a few days....I too had a problem with Innova dog food green bag 33lbs...My German Shepherd had been eating this food for about 3 years...With the last bag I got, she began acting listless, not interested in much of anything (including her food), had gastric upset problem...basically all of the same indications that were reported in this thread. I checked the kibble...it was exactly the same as was pictured here. Lots of little white grains and some black ones. I took her off the Innova, returned the remained to the store, and put her on California Naturals Lamb. Within 48 hours, she was back to normal in all respects. I also found a small piece of blue rubber-like material in a can of California Natural Chicken and Rice. It may be coincidence, but it sure doesn't seem like it. She was obviously ill (for more than a week), and taking her off of the Innova fixed her up in a matter of a couple of days. Now we're a bit concerned about the California Natural Kibble, But she seems to be doing fine with it.

Here is a couple site that are very helpful for home cooking and supplements needed

Sesajune..I am so sorry for you and you're pets,  I know there is something called ..Care Credit  that might beable to help you get the medical attention you're pets need.. ask you're vet about it..or look it up 

I try to convince people also..it's worked with a few folks..Hope you're dog does great on wellness

I was at my Local pet store and was told the same thing...The lady who runs the store asked if I thought people would continue to bye the holistic foods....My thoughts are some will.. but once this all dies down..People will go back to cheaper brands...Not because they want to...But because it's what folks can afford...What do you guys think?

Hi ..Thank you itchmo for a great board...I feed Innova and my lot they do great on it...there coats are so soft and shiny...I also like California natural ..Canidae is also a good food
