Thinking of some good Karma for my Dogma
Karma Organic Dog Food USDA 95% Certified Organic Dog Food
I have been increasingly worried about mainstream dog food. I have tried off and on to switch my dog to an healthier organic brand from the Eukanuba that she has been eating since a puppy. But every time we try, no matter how long we gradually introduce (typically a month or so of very gradually increasing the percentage) she will start having some rather nasty digestive side effects I won’t get into. I am thinking of giving it another chance with Karma Organic Dog food as it looks so promising and I am tired of giving my money to the big corporate dog food companies that are more concerned about their bottom line than the safety of our pets.
Hopefully I am not just being suckered into a marketing scam but I am impressed that Karma seems to use such high quality ingredients, with No artificial preservatives, colors or additives. They also state ” All our foods are free from chemical additives of any kind, including preservatives such as Ethoxyquin and BHA/BHT, which are frequently found in pet foods but are banned from human use in many countries.” They claim to strive to make the healthiest dog food in the world, providing USDA-inspected chicken, turkey and lamb, whole grain rice and barley, fresh fruits and vegetables.
If anyone uses this brand or has any suggestions about another brand that might even be better I would be curious to hear from you.

Wow, I’m way late on this, but I found your blog because I am searching for a new water dish. I have worried myself to a frazzle over possible chemical leeching, [even though my little ones drink out of stainless steel dishes], and whatnot so we’re looking for something new. Anything that says ‘organic’ and has to do with pups then I’m on it.
We switched from Solid Gold to Karma about five months ago and my three absolutely love it. My mother is currently switching her toy poodle over to it and he’s decided he will take his time and pick the Karma out and leave the Solid Gold in his bowl. I’m sure you’ve already made the switch, or not, by now, but I just thought I’d toss in my two cents and tell you what a great blog this is!
Happy new year!

I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Karma and I don’t believe for one moment that you are being”suckered in by a marketing scam”. Believe it or not there are some truly wonderful companies making really good foods for our companion animals. i thought you might want to know about Dr.Harvey’s. We have been around for a long time teaching people about the benefits of feeding all natural and organic fresh foods to their companion animals.
For over 30 years, long before pet food recalls and green living, Dr. Harvey was teaching guardians about the serious dangers in feeding commercial pet foods. He has been a longtime proponent of feeding “real ” and untainted food to our companions. We make wonderful products for dogs, cats and birds. I thought you might want to learn more about Dr Harvey’s, Everyone who loves their companion should take the next step and feed the best that is available. Our companions deserve the best!

I had my Border Collie on Solid Gold for three years. They changed their formula and she developed an allergy to it. I switched to Karma last summer and could not be more pleased with the results.
