New Petcurean dry food "Gather"

Hi everyone,

I know dry food is looked on very unfavorably on and the consensus seems to be that it's best limited as much as possible. Taking that out of consideration (my kitty eats only a snacks worth of dry along with full wet meals) has anyone heard of/looked at this new food from petcurean called Gather? The Go! lines seem popular and I was given a sample of this food at my local holistic pet store. I can't discern if it's mostly marketing gimmicks focusing on the non-GMO free run chicken aspect. My kitty definitely likes it better than the Wellness she has been getting. What do you all think in comparison to other high quality dry foods such as Orijen, Wellness Core, etc.? I know a lot of you like @missmimz  are experts in this!

The ingredients don't look too bad, but the carbs are crazy. 30.5%, which is nuts. You want it to be closer to 15% or less, really, but thats hard to come by in most kibble. 

sigh I saw that too. I wonder what about it my kitty likes so much...

I don't know why they feel it's necessary to make it so carby. It just goes to show that these kibble companies are really deceiving. The ingredients looks good, but when you do the math for the carbs it's completely inappropriate for a carnivore. In small doses it's not going to hurt your kitty but that high in carbs is going to promote weight gain, so just keep it very minimal.
