It is nice to see a lot organic ingredients in a dog food. We also like seeing pumpkin replacing tomato pomace or beet pulp as a stool stiffener, as pumpkin does contain some nutrients. More meat would be nice to see, but overall this is a good dog food and does not contain any nasty [ ... ] ...

We are a little confused as to why tomato pomace is so high on the ingredient list – with organic pumpkin in the ingredients, we feel it would resolve any stool issues. We do recommend this dog food, but we feel tomato pomace in this particular dog food is acting as a filler. We see [ ... ] ...
