Not heard of it, who makes it?

EDIT: Have just looked on the web site, they do not list any stores in the UK, I could not find their address either. If you are looking for a natural food in the UK then you could try something like Burnes.

Natura make it according to Google ..cannot find a supplier in the UK ..but someone may know differently ;)

Hi Janines,
i live in Australia and i feed innova it is a brilliant food,as far as i know it is not available in the U.K.
Have you tried contacting the company?? they will be able to answer all of your questions. i have never seen a commercial dog food whose ingredients surpass innova:)
I'm sure if there was a demand over there they would supply it,
unfortunately no-body knows about it in the U.K. Did you find out about innova from a U.S website?

Are you sure that there is not an equal or better food available in the UK, be suprised if there is not.
- By janines [gb] Date 17.09.03 12:43 UTC
I have looked at various ones, nothing compares at least the ones that I have looked at to the ingredients that are in this one if you know of any could you please let me know

What ingredient(s) are you looking for?
- By janines [gb] Date 17.09.03 14:22 UTC
Innova contains cottage cheese and vegetables, including potato, and turkey not by products, I feed nearly an all barf diet and this or something similar would complement it, I am sure that there are other products out there in the uk that might come close but I cant find any, dont want any unecessary colours, or preservatives in there either

Cottage Cheese & potato!!! is this the best way to feed a dog? And what is the problem with by products, those into BARF should be into by products. There are foods available that do not have colour or preservatives but I can't promises cottage cheese.
- By janines [gb] Date 17.09.03 18:33 UTC
Innova contains whole meat, vegetables, cottage cheese which a lot of barfers use anyway, whats wrong with cottage cheese. I like to know what I am feeding to my dogs, and certainly would not feed not feathers, beaks etc, which is what by=products are, would you like to eat feathers I think not anymore than I would, I do feed a lot or raw meat but whole chunks of meat and tripe, fish, rabbit etc
Anyway I asked if anyone knew if it was available in the UK not for a deabate on feeding my dogs, you only have to read the above post from the poster in Australia in how she rates the food

Have you tried Leader, by Red Mills? It has none of the nasty chemicals in it and all my lot love it!!
- By janines [gb] Date 17.09.03 18:36 UTC
Thanks Mali Fan I will look into that one, I am open to ideas

Nothing wrong with cottage cheese, it does not have many nutrient that would be usefully to a dog or any thing else unless they were looking to loose weight.
- By janines [gb] Date 17.09.03 21:08 UTC
I think Jackie that what appealed to me was the ingredients, were more like human orientated, I mean they were healthy from a dog point of view and I suppose tasty as well, and for people that do feed barf or 1/2 barf 1/2 complete it was a good combination of the two, ie the best of both worlds have seen many completes in my time but none of them matches this product from an ingredients point of view, and I know that there are many good completes out there at the moment so I am not knocking any of them, but I know that a lot of barfers do use cottage cheese to supplement a meal now and again, the only drawback that I can see that if ever Innova did come to the UK would be the price tag that it carries, so if anyone knows of a complete that I can feed alongside a barf diet then please let me know I have heard that Royla Canin that do one that is very similar I supose to Autarky but I would think that it carries a much higher price tag
