I am in the midst of moving all content from mindygirl.us (where you originally commented) over to this new site. Anyway, I appreciate your input! I totally agree about the "meal" but I don't agree about the by-products. I didn't know that about lamb. Our Mindy is on Lamb, unfortunately she seemed to have a problem with the dry chicken kibble from Innova/EVO. She has no problem with the canned EVO. It always kind of made me feel horrible thinking about poor baby lambs, but it's always lower in calories and Mindy seems to be doing well on it. I have always considered a change, so we'll see.
