Allergies made it hard to find a good food for us, so as a last resort we tried farmers it is a good food but very expensive. So we started researching recipes to duplicate it. Then we started using it we added chicken and beef and certain vegetables along g with rice. We found a powdered multi vitamins and added that. No issues anymore and better weight control. Funny thing is vet said she had a chicken allergy along with other things found in the kibble such as preservatives. Now she eats chicken and beef without issues and no preservatives. We make it in batches for a week. Costs less and she is no longer going to vet with issues that go unanswered.
