I don't recall seeing human grade used on any dogs food packaging? Certainly not something I feel is required. My dog eats meat scraps of fat and gristle that nobody in this house would eat. Dogs eat stuff that is almost scary really.

The food you feed your dog is actually rated fit for human consumption, which is above and beyond "humam grade", from my understanding.
Our ingredients are different too. We focus on local ingredients that are sustainably raised, passed ‘fit for human consumption’, and then delivered to our kitchens FRESH EACH DAY, so they’re bursting with flavor and goodness to nourish dogs and cats completely.

There seem to be quite a few costly buzzwords being put on dog food packaging. Personally I cant justify paying double for the latest and greatest catch phrase.
Having something on the label means very little in an unregulated product. Not saying kibble is unregulated, but the dogfood plants I have worked in do try to meet certain standards ( even if only during the inspection) when I asked about the packaging labels, i was told that part was unregulated they could put what they want on it.
Feed what is best for your dogs and you. For me that means a healthy dog, no gas, and affordable. Funny enough I dont feed my dog from any of the factories I have worked in.

I'm currently in the transition from Pro Plan to Kirkland grain free (blue bag). Hoping this helps with the ear infections and constant shedding!

I’m suspicious of people who don't like dogs, but I trust a dog who doesn't like a person.

You get what you pay for, except in the foods that have high advertising bills.

The one I use from Costco is called Kirkland Signature Super Premium Adult Dog - Chicken, Rice and Vegetable. Bag is purple in colour. In the past, have used Acana, Pro Plan, and Royal Canin and have found that Tessa does best on the Kirkland brand. Also used the puppy formula and now have her on the aforementioned adult food. Good food, great price ... no gas and solid stools. I highly recommend to anyone.

Just Googled it. It is made by Diamond in the USA. The reviews I have read on Kirkland tend to be good.

Not when it comes to dog food in my opinion .
I looked back at what we fed out beagles in the 50's - healthy dogs, full of energy , good coats, no allergies.
