The Kibble Trials: Fromm Surf & Turf: Results

Conker was on the Surf & Turf for roughly 20 days or so. When I asked about it, Fromm sent me the complete nutrient analysis for this (and other) foods they make. This was nice, since every other company I have contacted about it (who does not have it openly available online) has either blown me off or come up with some dumbass reason not to give it to me.
So it gets bonus points for that.

Conker did pretty good on this food. He developed a slight doggish smell, but it wasn't as bad as some of the other kibbles. He got a few eye bogies but not enough to actually count. His teeth stayed pretty clean, which was a bit surprising.

The kibbles were quite small and relatively uniform with some variance. That's fine for Conker though, he chews kibble pretty well.

I did not try out any of the canned varieties.

I really liked this kibble. I didn't think I would due to it's lower protien content, but Conker did pretty okay on it for me not to care much about that. Normally he does not do so good on foods with carbs that make up more than 20% of the energy. This one must be an exception.
Conker digested it quite well with no assistance from pre or probiotics, which is always a good thing. And it's relatively inexpensive for a higher-quality food. Though I don't really like to, I might include the Fromm kibbles in Conker's food rotation if it turns out to be financially feasible.
