I would say this is a good food for a dry

Thanks for the analysis Sharky, and for the continuing education!

How does this food compare to California Natural Chicken and Rice? I tried to figure it out, but I'm just not sure.

Swanie helping me research (If I can remember how to post pictures):

Cal natural the chn is chn rice and flax ... so it would be more digestable ... it also has more protein 36% and a bit less fat 18%.. cal natural is high in fatty acids...

they compare but not a direct accross the board...

Thanks. They eat the Cal Natural, so I'll stick with that one. Unless I can interest them in the Orijen when I get it.

I hope they are interested. For your food trials, I think you need a 3rd cat...a very open minded one, with broad tastes. I have found that peer pressure goes a long way.

I like the pic of Swanie. He looks interested in that bag of food.
