Has a lot of grain in it. It is not that expensive compared to top line foods.
I feed mine Orijen.

I've always fed a premium food, so I'm aware of what they typically cost. I think $41.99 for a 15 pound bag is a bit high. I can get the big bag of Innova (twice as much food) for about the same price. Just wondered if anyone has experience with this stuff and whether it's worth the money.

That is a high price for 15 lbs. and for a food with so many grains in it. Ingredients are listed by weight. So if you weighed all the grains together they would most likely out weigh the chicken and you are feeding mostly grain not protein.
ANd what the heck is Kamut???

Never heard of it before so I did some research...apparently it's an ancient relative of wheat. It's supposed to be higher in protein, lipids, amino acids, vitamins and minerals than wheat. Additionally some research indicates that those who have a wheat intolerance/allergy can tolerate it. However considering they have wheat as an ingredient I can't imagine they are adding the Kamut as an allergy/intolerance alternative to wheat. My guess is they are throwing it in there for the higher proteins etc...although using a grain as a source of protein for a dog sounds a little backwards to me. :confused:
ETA: Way too much grains and not enough animal protein IMO.
