Hi Danielle,
I also did a ridiculous amount of research on dog food and am feeding my guide Farmina ancestral grain. I have been having trouble finding a reliable online supplier though. Last time I needed to order more, it had been out of stock on Chewy, Petflow, and Amazon for months, although I did find it at a local pet store. Where do you get this food for your dog?
Thanks,
Alysha
