Got this for our recently adopted 3 year old Corgi. We feed him twice a day; once with this food alone and the other time mixing it with a wet food. He gobbles it up, either alone or mixed. Appears to be of decent quality.

I have a collie and always am on the lookout for good quality food for her. I don't mind spending a little more for better products especially since my dog's health and overall happiness is my responsibility, and this all begins with good nutrition. The quality of the dog food seems exceptional. You can see the bits of fruits and vegetables in the mix and the first ingredient is chicken. I was expecting a "meatier" smell, though, but perhaps this is due to a lack of artificial ingredients or additives that other dog food brands put in their mix to be more appealing to the dog.
My dog showed no concern for switching this food with her normal brand (Royal Canine). I switched gradually since my dog has always had a sensitive stomach. She is not a picky eater by any means and gobbles this right up. I have been feeding her straight Castor and Pollux Ultramix for about a month. The only difference I have noticed is that she goes to the bathroom more frequently than she has with other foods. Is this good or bad? I am not sure. Seems healthy to have a functional digestive system, but perhaps the food is not as digestible as I hoped. Her coat looks great and she has not displayed any signs of an upset stomach or flatulence. She seems excited to receive the food and eats it all in a single setting.
I think the food is great because it is natural, healthy and offers really good, quality ingredients. Every bowl is slightly different as well depending on the fruits and vegetables scooped during that one meal. I think this adds subtle variety as opposed to having the exact same meal day after day.
The only drawbacks (if you find them as such) that I have found is that it is very necessary to keep the food stored in an airtight container. It will dry out and fade slightly in color. I don't think it becomes harmful but certainly looks and feels that it is not as good. I keep a large airtight container that has a small flap on the lid for scooping. Any pet store carries them like Petco or PetSmart. The only thing I found a little odd is the size of the kibbles. They are tiny like pebble-sized. I checked to make sure I didn't accidently buy a small bites or small dog variety and it wasn't the case. This is the standard kibble size. My dog doesn't mind or have a problem with the tiny kibbles but she is not getting the benefit of chewing larger pieces such as scraping tarter off her teeth. I simply added bones to the mix that focus on teeth cleaning and it works just fine.

We ordered the Weight Management version of this dog food because we have two overweight long haired Dachshunds and wanted to get them to a more healthy weight. We had been feeding them canned food, a few different brands, all high quality. We wanted a dry food to help their teeth stay clean and a product with good ingredients and not a lot of corn was essential. Since Amazon doesn't show it, here are the ingredients for the Castor & Pollux Weight Management Formula:
Chicken, Chicken Meal, Turkey Meal, Brown Rice, Rice, Ground Whole Oats, Ground Whole Barley, Dried Bananas, Peas, Tomato Pomace, Chicken Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols and Citric Acid), Ground Whole Flax Seed, Brewers Dried Yeast, Dried Potato, mono-Calcium Phosphate, Natural chicken Flavor, Dried Carrots, Dried Sweet Potatoes, Salmon Meal, Dried Egg Product, Dried Cranberries, Salt, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin E Supplement, Chondroitin Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Choline Chloride, Niacin, Carnitine, Copper Sulfate, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Manganous Oxide, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Sodium Selenite, Riboflavin, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Biotin, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Calcium Iodate, Folic Acid, Rosemary Extract,
I like that the first three ingredients are meat and that the rest look healthy. The dogs love it, and that's the important thing. I'll report back after a couple months on whether or not they've lost weight. (We're also cutting out all the extra treats except for baby carrots and green beans.)

The ingredients in C&P Weight Maintenance, while not perfect, are far superior to Science Diet RD & WD. In addition it costs less then SD and Amazon has the best price of any company I've found. Science Diet makes nutritionally bankrupt products in all cases. The high cost is so the manufacturer and veterinarian can make a profit. Only a minimal amount of money goes into the product itself. It is like buying Ol Roy with drugs. You are basically feeding your dogs cardboard.
