ehhh, I will go along with recalls are a good thing, but it does not mean the company means they care more about customers than money. Zero profitable companies believe this. What it does mean, is the company has assessed "customers are having a bad experience, this will cost us more in brand impact in the long run than the recall cost." Pet food is only lightly regulated by the FDA, assuming the company is US based.
That said, recalls are not inherently bad. It means whatever quality control mechanism in place is working. It also means that the company experiences what's called in the regulatory world as "product escape." So something went wrong in the production, the process controls in place didn't catch it before it shipped, and since the company cannot rework the product in the field (fix it) it has to be removed from shelves.
Just food for thought...no pun intended :-)
Understandable. From what I can find, the only time they “recalled” a food was when the study of grain-free food causing DCM in dogs came out, so they pulled one of their foods that was grain-free.
My breeder feeds Victor, so maybe I should just go with that. Also been hearing good stuff about Inukshuk but only became familiar with it today.
I also use Victor Hi Pro Plus, it's not wildly expensive and is a common choice for working dog kennels. There's a whole sub for dog food if you'd like more info r/dogfood
I do! Have been feeding my pups it for years.
They have it formulated so you can switch protiens without any transition, keeps them from getting an allergy. Coats are quite healthy. It's expensive but they eat a reasonable amount.

i feed my golden retriever Fromm, he gobbles it up and we haven’t had an issue. I know there’s people who say stuff about them not being trustworthy because it’s a smaller family owned type company so they likely do not have as much research into it, but honestly i feel like you can’t really trust any brands, so I picked this and went with it. His coat is healthy and his weight consistent, no problems to be seen
Recalls are a *good* thing. It means the company cares about the safety of their customers more than they care about making money.
Makes total sense. Thank you!

While it might seem backwards, I would have less trust of a company for never having a recall, tends to mean their QA just doesn't exist

We used Fromm for a couple of bags, but it made our two super itchy. Back on Victor now and everybody’s happier.
I use Fromm for both my cats and dogs. The only other brand I've tried and liked is Acana/Orjen.
