I saw this brand in the pet store and decided to give it a try. I'd never heard of the brand but liked the grain free and price.

Here are the ingredients:
Turkey Meal, Chicken Meal, Pea Protein, Chicken Fat (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Peas, Potatoes, Dried Egg Product, Herring Meal, Salmon Meal, Ground Flaxseed, Pea Fiber, Natural Flavor, Sweet Potatoes, Whitefish Meal, Blueberry Fiber, Cranberry Fiber, Choline Chloride, Apples, Blueberries, Carrots, Spinach, Cranberries, Canola Oil (preserved with mixed Tocopherols, a source of Vitamin E), Taurine, DL-Methionine, L-Lysine, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Sulfate, Vitamin A Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Niacin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin Supplement, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (source of Vitamin C), Zinc Proteinate, Manganese Proteinate, Copper Proteinate, Calcium Iodate, Sodium Selenite, Cobalt Carbonate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Yucca Schidgera Extract, Rosemary Extract, Dried Lactobacillus Plantarum Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococus Faecium Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Casei Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product.
and the analysis:

Not too fond of so many 'meal's but it's better than by-product and meats are the first two ingredients.
Like you mentioned, no grains, so that's good.
Lots of fish - depends on what boat you are in, I'm in the one that recommends no fish unless you can certify that the fish is a type low in hard metals. Usually requires contacting the company.

I wouldn't try it because of the fish, but otherwise it's a good food. ^^
