Great Life Dog Food
The kids are on a new kibble now. I first received some Great Life Buffalo Dog Food back in November. I used up the bags I was given, and then went back to Acana (which I think is a great food). But not long after, Koda got his dandruff back and I had to start supplementing him with Omega 3's and SeaMeal to get rid of the dandruff. It seems like any kibble in his diet can create dandruff, and in a perfect world (which is not mine) he would be on 100% raw.
I went back to Great LIfe last week, and dropped the supplements, and already his coat and skin are looking great. Not to mention Koda and Mei both seem to love this food. They would actually eat more than they are supposed to of this. I put down the bowl and it's gone. Before both would let kibble sit until they had to eat it, or Koda would skip meals until he could come home and get raw fed. I don't have to worry about this anymore. So far, from what I know, I give this food two thumbs up. It's pricey, comparable to Orijen.
Here's the description/ingredient/nutritional breakdown. They haven't been reviewed on dogfoodanalysis.com yet, and claim to have freeze dried raw (not sure if raw still keeps it's nutritional value after processing, but here's hoping).
To help you take your pets back to an age when they were lean, healthy, allergy free and active from eating nature's perfect GRAIN-FREE diet, we have created Great Life's Grain/Potato-Free Dog Food Diet. As with our other dog food or cat food, we have a unique process that allows us to bring you the raw foods your pets crave layered on a grain free kibble enclosed in wild salmon base. NO refrigeration needed. Look at the ingredients and you'll agree this food will help your pet live a longer, happier and healthier life.
Lab Analysis: Great Life routinely checks for Micro-toxins, Heavy metals, etc. at a certified facility- Midwest Labs an independent third party. We do tests for all E-coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Staph aureus, Yeast, Mold, etc. Midwest Labs also analysis products for toxins such as: Ethoxyquin, Aflatoxins, DON (Vomitoxin), Fumonisin, Ochratoxin, T-2 Toxin, Zearalenone and more and BHA, BHT. All reports show Great Life is a very clean product line and free of any of the listed problems.
Additionally: Midwest Labs showed Great Life has an extremely high level of active enzymes, probiotics and healthy nutrients.
Food Process- Freeze Dried Raw Food Nutrient Complex Saturated in and around Every Kibble
We bake our kibble at a temperature range of 175 to 205 degrees allowing for the destruction of pathogens while not destroying every nutrient. Through extensive testing, we determined the correct temperature when the pores of the kibble expanded to maximum. At this time, our custom freeze dried nutrient mix featuring Organic and natural proteins, fruits, vegetables, enzymes, probiotics, berries and more is saturated completely in every pore and around the entire kibble. This allows for a greater concentration of active nutrients allowing an animals’ system to receive all the nutritional benefits of Great Life kibble. By keeping the moisture content on our freeze dried below 3%, we are free of any problem.
This is the reason Great Life is considered a power packed the Super Food!
Great Life Performance- Our foods are very active! Consumers switching from commercial brands must transition slowly onto Great Life, usually 2 -3 weeks. If you transition to fast your dog may clean out waste products too fast.

Comments
I like that it has bison liver yummy.
I'll have to see if the local pet store has it.
We feed her prey model right now, but Great Life is something I would definitely consider feeding if I had to take her off a raw diet.
@jujee In a perfect world both dogs would be on only raw. Mei doesn't like it though. Which is a total surprise to me. She loves killing things and eating them. Maybe it's because I'm putting raw in front of her. She looks at me dumbfounded. Koda is not home 4 days a week and can't have raw where he is. This kind've sucks. But it's the way things are for now.
