Default Pet Guard food?

has anyone hear heard of PetGuard food? It looks pretty good to me, but I don't know much about cat nutrition yet so I'm not sure. Thanks!

Ingredients (wet food): Mackerel, chicken, chicken broth, chicken liver, ocean fish, rice flour, dried yeast, guar gum, potassium chloride, dried kelp, sunfower oil...and then a list of vitamins.

well, at least it's mostly meat however, many of the forum cats seem to be down on fish as a primary food, and you've got fish in there twice. what do you other guys think? waiting to find out...

I've never fed Pet Guard but I think its considered a good choice. Fish isn't a bad thing in food, just not the kind of thing you'd want to feed on a regular basis. I have like 6 fish/seafood flavors that my cat gets but in rotation with the other foods it comes out to 1-2 times a month.

I feed petguard on a pretty regular basis, but not the fish flavors.
They love it and seem to do pretty well on it. It's a pretty good food too and a good company from what I recall.

I love Petguard, and my cats like it as well as anything else. The couple who owns the company are very sweet and spiritual and are really trying to do a good job.

The point about fish is correct; occasional fish flavors okay, but not on a regular basis.

Cheers,
Dr. Jean

I've tried the Rabbit & Rice Petguard and both of my cats wouldnt eat it. When i looked at the can it says 6% crude protein when every other brand is usually 9-10% so i'm not sure if that contributes to my cat's distaste for it or not. (bland taste?)

I found it at WholeFoods (probably Wild Oats sells it too)...the natural foods market by my house.
