This is due primarily to an ever decreasing supply of salmon. Both in this country and other European countries that have salmon, there are many things affecting the salmon supply, including disease. One other fact most people do not think about is the amount of mercury in fish. Feeding some fish in a diet is probably not a big deal, but feeding a fish based diet all the time, especially to pregnant females or pups is, in my opinion, perhaps not such a great idea. There are strict guidelines on the human consumption of fish, just for this reason, although most people do not know about those guidelines.

I am buying food on the Royal Canin Breeders' Program. I pick it up at the warehouse which is across the street from my workplace. All the dogs are doing great on it, and I pay only $52 CAD (that's Canadian) for a 33 lb. bag. I'm quite happy with this arrangement.
In Canada, you have to register with RC as a bonafide kennel, ie., have a business name, and then you can set up a wholesale account. It is a very good program. In Europe, we were paying $60 Euro for the same size bag and 1 Eruo is about $1.60 CAD. Do the math.

Im curious to know of the food is or is not 4d food (human grade meat vs non human grade) Since Im aware of the salmon issue (which actually started last year) I wont jump out and get it since its most likely going up in price.

For the money it's a hell of a deal for 40 lbs.
Hopefully they'll get the other brand in eventually. If not, I think I like Costco's a lil better than Sams. The meat is definately better quality and I always thought Sams was excellent.

Cosco also has a green bag of lamb and rice that is ok food for people who dont have a ton of money to spend.

So you can imagine how little meat kibble with 20+% protein has (in addition some grains have protein too decreasing the meat content further). I don't feed any kibble that has less than 40% protein.
