I'm not nocking the Native food.I'm sure it is a quality food. I just can't afford it. It is at least twice as much as the Diamond Naturals(26-16) chicken and rice I'm feeding. When comparing the ingredients they look very similar to me. I'm no chemist , but I think they are fairly close and I pay $23 /40lb. bag.Below is a comparison of ingredients. What makes the Native better (if it is) than the Diamond? I'm sure there are some differences. But Diamond is more affordable for me, and it's working good.
Native :
Chicken Meal, Chicken Fat (Stabilized with Mixed Tocopherols), Ground Rice, Ground Oats, Ground Barley, Beet Pulp, Fish Meal, Ground Flaxseeds, Natural Flavors, Yeast Culture, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Hydrolyzed Brewers Dried Yeast (prebiotic), Reed-Sedge Peat, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Natural Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid (preservatives), Zinc Proteinate, Manganese Sulfate, Manganese Proteinate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Selenium Yeast, Copper Sulfate, Cobalt Proteinate, Vitamin A Supplement, Niacin Supplement, d-Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Thiamine Mononitrate, Calcium Iodate, Folic Acid, and Rosemary Extract.
Diamond Naturals:
Chicken, chicken meal, whole grain brown rice, white rice, cracked pearled barley, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), oatmeal, dried plain beet pulp, egg product, flaxseed, natural chicken flavor, fish meal, salt, potassium chloride, choline chloride, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate, manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, niacin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin, vitamin D supplement, folic acid
Again I'm not trying to bad mouth the Native feed. I was just curious as to the differences in these two formulas. I see subtle differences is all.
