Nature's Logic 100% Natural Canine Venison Meal Feast All Life Stages Dry Dog Food, 25-lb bag

We had to switch our dog's food after Orijen changed their "Six Fish" ingredients. After a plethora of research, I landed on Nature's Logic. It wasn't super ideal because our dog is allergic to Chicken and this company adds chicken fats into all of their products, but I opted to give it a go regardless. Right off the bat, you can smell the difference between the two companies. In my opinion, Nature's Logic doesn't really compare; the smell is not remotely pleasant and the overall look of it is not appealing. The kibble sizes are small though, so a little dog would have no problems eating it. However, our dog doesn't care about any of that and she seems to really enjoy it. We have a 75lb. labrador and she has been eating it for two weeks with no problems. Its too early for me to tell if this food will affect her skin and coat. Her poops are much, much more compact on this food (smaller), firm, and do not smell as terrible as they did before. Her breath is about the same as before and I haven't noticed any adverse allergy effects so far. Overall, I am pleased with the switch. They use only natural ingredients (no man-made synthetic vitamins) and the kibble is a pretty raw, high-protein, low carb diet. If you are wanting to switch food, I'd give this brand a try, though be prepared to wear a nose plug every time you open that bag. (:

Please read this whole review before you write off the food based on my 2-star rating. It's the only way to do right by the company, which I still believe probably makes a good product. I'm also fairly certain that if you moisten this product with water and wait a few minutes to feed it, it will probably be fine for virtually any breed. For myself, however, that isn't acceptable - I rely on the crunch and jaw action of dry kibble to help keep my dogs' mouths and teeth healthy, which can be a challenge for brachycephalics. So dry kibble is a must from my perspective. I have 3 Olde English Bulldogges and a Shih-Tzu / Maltese cross. I don't think it's fair to blame Nature's Logic for stomach upset, because all 4 of my house mates here *CAN* have sensitive tummies. Food transition by itself, historically, doesn't seem to cause them a lot of problem - they have all always been on a rotational regimen, just to keep them from getting bored, and have tolerated it fairly well. But if the food has grain or other lower-quality ingredients in it, I see immediate consequences, so I'm careful about what I feed, even in rotation. Nevertheless, I gave this food the benefit of doubt because I *WAS* transitioning them to it, and I had at the same time introduced coconut oil into their diets. (I'm trying to find a way to alleviate skin sensitivity in one of them, without the use of steroids and antihistamines that vets so quickly tend to throw at a problem like that, which is why I've been testing different foods and supplements in the first place.) It *IS* fair to say, however, that all 4 of my dogs ended up with upset stomachs concurrent with the feeding of this food, and again, while I think it would be a gross misjudgment to blame their diarrhea and vomiting on the food entirely, because of the dietary change and coconut oil, I can definitely say that the tiny size of this kibble caused my bulldogs especially to repeatedly choke and gag on it, exacerbating the vomiting situation. And yes, occasionally even my little dustmop (who is also brachycephalic, I should point out, from his Shih-Tzu half) choked on it. I'm glad I bought only a very small sample to try, because after a few days of this, I was considering cleaning it out of my dog food bin and throwing it away, for the comfort, safety and well-being of my dogs. And that's really too bad, because they seemed to like the food's flavor and content very much. As it was, the coconut oil helped to make the kibble stick together and prevent loose kibble from entering their tracheas, and we had transitioned again to another test sample, and their issues seem to have dissipated. I would be willing to try this food again, but only if the formula were revised to offer a larger kibble size that I feel my dogs could safely eat without the danger of inhaling some of it and possibly causing a pneumonia or other serious problem.
