Earthborn Holistic® Primitive Feline Dry Food

I found another food that I am curious about. It doesn't seem to be as good as Petcurean Go! Fit + Free or Orijen but it's a lot cheaper too.

Thoughts on this? :-o

I don't really like that pea protein, peas, and potatoes are so high up on the ingredient list. There is really no meat either, just meals.

As dry foods go, this is one of the better ones, but not the best. The lack of fresh meats and the Pea Protein are the major factors that lower it's quality. There are certainly many foods out there that are much, much worse
