Never tried this, never seen this.  I'm a little bothered about how the majority of the food seems to be peas.  I don't mind my dogs eating a few peas.  But I question how well dogs can assimilate nutrition from peas. 

Let us know how your pup does on it, I'm curious to know.

Flax is usually an itch factor, lots of dogs allergic to PEAS.  Why are they adding peas?

Dogfoodadvisor.com has not evaluated it yet. I don't think it will be a 5 star. It's sorta starchy. I would like to see salmon meal as the second ingredient.

    I, personally dont like foods preserved with citric acid or like to see Chcicken fat up front in ingredients. Peas are a cheaper filler than other healthier ingredients. Fish meal usually has ethoxoquin unless the meal is made in the USA from USA products.  Doesnt sound like a product I would be interested in purchasing. JMO..Brewer's yeast is also an allergan.  Contrary to odl wives tales, cornell did a study a few years back about dogs fed brewers yeast to see if it would repel fleas. The dogs that ate brewers yeast actually attracted more fleas than those not fed brewers yeast.
