It's a problem for those whose dogs need a novel protein. There are other good choices for limited ingredient formulas, but the protein source may be the problem for some of us. In cases of health issues, I think you stay with the food but watch it carefully. C.N. and N.B. are still better than Rx foods, which would be the only choice for some of us, unless you can afford the commercial raw products. When JD was first diagnosed with IBD, I considered using Bravo raw rabbit patties, but the store owner calculated that it would have cost $600/month to feed him that exclusively.

Looks like I need to find another kibble for Camus.

Wow - I came close to using NB, but was talked into going with Fromm's. I'm so glad I did. It is nice to be using a product from a family owned and operated company that's been in business for over 100 years - - and has never had a product recall.

Guess I will be trying out Wellness sooner than I thought. Fingers crossed :-)

Thanks so much for the warning.  I don't doubt that Del Monte will take over putting their own ingredients into the Natural Balance labeled foods.    I usually mixed the Natural Balance with Orijen for my Yorkies and will now just wean them off the Natural Balance and give them Orijen.  Cooper started on Orijen and I'll continue with that.  So much for shopping at Petco etc.   It will be worth the effort to be inconvenienced a tiny bit to supply my dog with a good diet.

Glad I switched to Acana Regionals earlier this year and Annamaet"s Grain Free's are my back-up. I try to mix it up with home cooking mostly green beans, carrots, and chicken.  We used Wellness Puppy with home cooking during the first year and then switched to NB.  Another one bites the dust.  That's too bad.

California Naturals puts you in the same boat, since they were bought by Proctor & Gamble a few years back. We'll have to talk about it. I need to see if i can get more info, when P & G bought out the Natura brands, the contract specified that nothign would change for a year. So we have time.

I just started (about a month ago) feeding Woody around 1-2 cups a day of NB rabbit and potato..I am still home cooking, but I was trying that out to make his home cooked food stretch out a little longer..Karen..wellness?! Congratulations! Which line are you feeding? Any recommendations for me?  California Natural?

Jill, I can almost guarantee you that it will change the sourcing of the ingredients at the very least. Del Monte purchases ingredients through third party food brokerages, and they are usually imported from China. :-(
