More importantly, if one does their homework (and not at your vets office), you will learn that dogs and cats need high levels of protein. This is essential to them, as they are carnivores. (For those who believe dogs are omnivores please answer why they have teeth and jaws designed to rip flesh and crush bones?). They do not get energy from carbs like humans do. They metbolize protein in to energy. The important issue concerning protein for dogs (and cats) is the source, and in turn, the bio-availability of it. Protein derived from plant sources is not as readily bio-available to carnivores as is protein from meat sources.
The only issue that I may have with the Nature's Domain is that it isn't higher in protein. I'd like to see something more in line with Acana Pacifica that has 33% protein.

Sorry man, the math is just not there...
Natures Domain $27.99
Glucosamine (Cheapest bottle at Costco) $16.59
Total: $44.58

All of the Diamond foods has done exceptionally well for my dogs, the only other stuff I've tried and really liked were Innova's EVO food and Merrick's (their B.G line is great). I've tried other all-natural diets, including other no-grain diets and though they were high priced and seemingly great ingredient list, the dogs either hated them or had problems on them.
I now only feed my dogs on Diamond (they make TOTW, Kirklands, and I guess now this Nature's Domain).

They are all doing great.
I wish there was a Costco near me, I have to buy at Tractor Supply.

Why would you want to feed a kibble that already had glucosamine added at the time of processing? Do you think the heating, cooking and manufacturing process didn't significantly (or totally) decrease the effectiveness of the glucosamine? Just spend the few extra dollars and add it in right before they eat. Same as if you are going to add Omega oils to the food.

I wouldnt mind mixing the Diamond Naturals chicken with the Natures Domain...that way the dogs would have 2 protein sources.

I will try the Cosco version when I get food next time. Cosco is only about 8 miles away, convenient enough.
