I've recently spent waaay too much time researching dog food and have narrowed it down to the lamb and chicken from Costco. My dogs are mixed breeds, ~25 lbs. I'm currently mixing their kibble with the canned versions of the lamb and chicken and hoping to transition to 100% kibble (unless there's a good reason not to that I'm not aware of, my vet said it didn't matter).
The ingredients and nutritional profiles appear to be nearly identical aside from these minor differences:
TIA!
EDIT: I should add, if there are pros and cons to each I'm open to buying both. If I were to go that route, would it make any difference between feeding them one in the morning and one at night or just mixing both together for each meal?
The ingredients and nutritional profiles appear to be nearly identical aside from these minor differences:
- They both have a calcium supplement (calcium pantothenate) but only the chicken shows it on the guaranteed analysis (1% minimum).
- The chicken shows a 0.8% minimum for phosphorus while it doesn't appear at all on the lamb.
- Taurine is listed on the ingredients for the lamb and not on the chicken (maybe there's more of it naturally in the chicken? I don't know).
TIA!
