| As we are getting older, we have become more concerned about our own diets, and have begun eating more and more from the organic section of our Publix or at Whole Foods where we can purchase hormone and pesticide-free fruits, vegetables and meats. This has given us pause to reflect upon our choice of dog and puppy foods and while we believe Kirklands is a good food, we are leaning more and more toward other types of foods and our research - along with other dog owners' referrals - have brought us to the below mentioned products which we highly recommend and are striving to change our entire breeding program over to.
