My little sister was bored today and decided to figure out the price per pound of some healthy pet foods. She's younger so I'm not sure of the accuracy (I'll proofread later), but it sure was interesting. She used petfooddirect.com. It was interesting to see how over (and under) priced they were. I was surprised at EVO and TOTW (under) and Blue Buffalo Organics and Nutro Natural Choice (over).

Grain-Free

Nature's Variety Instinct: $2.54
EVO: 2.33
Wellness CORE 3.16
Timberwolf: 2.79
Pinnacle: 2.80
Orijen: 2.92
Indigo Moon: 2.18
Acana: 2.36
Now!: 4.20
Natural Balance: 2,15
Before Grain: 2.12
Taste of the Wild: 1.79

Non-Grain Free

Blue Buffalo Organics: 3.49
Blue Spa Selects: $2.62
Artemis: 1.99
AvoDerm: 1.88
Innova: 3.26
Go! Natural: 2.97
Halo: 3.13
Fromm Four Star Nutrionals: 2.45
Felidae: 1.76
Chicken Soup: 1.53
Wellness: 2.90
Royal Canin 27: 2.79
Katz-n-Flocken: 2.05
Natural Balance Ultra Premium: 1.84
Nutro Natural Choice: 2.45
California Natural: 2.18

Good idea, i think Canadians need their own list since clearly based on just what i buy their is a difference and that certainly plays a role in our choices of food.

That's neat.
Fortunately EVO is cheaper here than that, though CORE is even more expensive.
