4 Health Dog Food

Went into my local TSC today to get a new stock up of Nylabones...They have "4 health" dog food, and puppy food on sale 29.95 for 35 lb bag...The ingredients look outstanding, just haven't been able to find much on here about reviews. Anybody heard of it or used it? I'm not switching, but it's tempting as long as they plan on stocking it regularly.
Thanks for any info!

Very interesting web site, but I'm a little confused. On the web site, the product seems to be fresh cooked food. But your post makes it sound like dry kibble in the bag.

The ingredients look great and the nutrient analysis (at least the small bit they provide) seems fine. I guess I'd be checking out if all the important vitamins and minerals that are needed are available in the food or if I would have to supplement.

Maybe I am wrong but I think 4 Health from TSC is this link , the puppy formula is the third row

http://www.tractorsupply.com/pet-car.../dry-dog-food/


The previous link posted in second reply goes to a food out of Port Orchard Wa. It is a fresh frozen company

This is a new product at Tractor Supply and from what I understand, it is manufactured for Tractor Supply, so this is the only place you will find it.

Take note. It is manufactured by Diamond. Now, me personally, I do not have a problem with that, but I know a lot on this board will, so I thought I would just throw that out there from the start.

The ingredients in some of the versions are very similar to the Kirklands food at Costco and I think also similar to one of the Diamond brands. I have been feeding my pup Kirklands Puppy and have enjoyed what I have seen for the past 3+ months.

Take it all for what it is worth. Not sure how price will match others.

Well, that makes sense now that I looked at the first link in your post. The ingredients list and guaranteed analysis does look very similar to a number of other Diamond products: Chicken Soup and Kirkland. The calories are very low at about 351 kcal/cup so the $ savings might not be as great as expected since you would have to feed more.

Is anyone actually using this food yet? It does look like a pretty good list of ingredients (i.e. no by-products, wheat, soy, etc.).
