What about Platinum?

[Coco Chow]

This week end Coco discovered a new dry food and that picky chow of mine *loved* it.
The name is PLATINUM Natural Food puppy chicken.
Before buying some, I was curious if any of you tried it already?

It smells good to me, and it's easier to chew than SG or Nutro: Coco ate it without me adding water on top of it.



For the experts that's what I found on their US website (I hope we have the same ingredients in France and in the US, it's a German brand I believe anyway):

Guaranteed Analysis:
• Crude Protein (Min) 27%
• Crude Fat (Min) 16%
• Crude Fiber (Max) 2%

Would it be a good food for Coco (she's 6 months old now)?
Thanks.

I'm going to go ahead and buy a bag and use it as treats. I will use it like when we're training, it will be easier to carry than the pieces of cheese I use, they stink, they melt, I have to cut them in pieces, etc...

Later if moody Coco still likes them, I might switch from Nutro to Platinum.

Seems like nobody thinks it's a bad food at least...

I don't know anything about this kibble to be honest but I like this website that reviews all dog foods. Hope this helps for the Princess's needs

Thanks Layla!

According to the website, Platinum is a 3 star food, better than the Nutro I give today which is a 2 star food...
Still, they wouldn't recommend it.

Orijen seems the best one according to them, 6 stars!

Anyway, I'll just buy the Platinum as a treat for training session and we'll see about that Orijen kibble later...
