Natural Life Puppy Food

[ZorandZeus]

I tried a search for "Natural Life", but I couldn't find any posts about it. Has anyone heard of or tried this dog food? My DH and I recently added a 3 mo female to the family and really wanted to get her started on a better food than what we used in the past. Our 3 yr old male has been on Purina One, but if we found a good brand for the puppy, we would switch him as well. I have looked at Canidae which almost everyone here loves, and compared ingredients to the Natual Life and they look very similiar to me. Just wanted to get anyone else's take on it.
Thx

If it's the same website I looked at...the food is not even close compared to Canidae. The Puppy food is chicken, corn, wheat,etc. No good foods contain corn and wheat. There is nothing "natural" about this food.

I suggest you change both of your dogs to Canidae the All-Life-Stages. It will be a big step up from Purina One. Your pup should not be eating puppy food...and Canidae is fine in protein and fats for a growing puppy, as well as an adult dog.

I should've clarified...it's not the regular Natural Life puppy, it is the puppy lamaderm and there is no corn in it. These are the first or the ingredients: Lamb Meal, Ground Brown Rice, Linseed Meal, Oatmeal, Poultry Fat (preserved with natural mixed tocopherols, citric acid, rosemary extract and ascorbyl palmitate - a Vitamin C ester), Natural Flavors, Dried Beet Pulp, Ground Flax Seeds.

Sounds good, right?

Not that great...you have one meat followed by three different grains.
I'm not sure about linseed meal??
Canidae has two meats, then white and brown rice...and then another meat...the Lamaderm has just the one meat.

All together Canidae has five meats (5 proteins)...Lamaderm the one meat....there really is no comparrison.

Try Canidae, it's probably cheaper too.
