Editor's Notes
January 15, 2019:
Included Hill's Science Diet due to its inclusion of glucosamine and chondroitin for strong joints and relative ease of digestion. In addition to a formula being infused with brain-developing DHA, Purina Pro Plan Focus also provides access to a convenient mobile app for customized training guidelines, which I thought was quite innovative. Also added the Instinct Raw Boost because of its probiotics, minimal processing, and freeze-dried ingredients that help to preserve high levels of nutrition. Also included Blue Buffalo Wilderness for its patented LifeSource Bits as well as its use of antioxidants and vitamins to keep the recipe fresh for extended periods of time. I personally feed my own pets the Taste Of The Wild High Prairie recipe, so I can vouch for its energy-packed and protein-rich ingredients. Also added Solid Gold Wolf Cub due to its fusion of natural bison meat, oatmeal, and patented probiotics designed to stay alive until consumed.
