I do home made too! However, I have incorporated both Orijen and a new one I found recently called Before B.G. Grain by Merrick; which has Acai berries and blueberries in both preparations with the 2 preparations having either Buffalo or Salmon as the main ingredients and 2 other meats along with all kinds of goodies.
Petunia has been eating Before Grain but I'm not sure about it. I realized the other day that it has yeast in it. Her face still seems to be itchy but I can't figure out if it is the food or allergies to something outdoors. You'll have to let me know how your boys take to it. I've gone to Orijen for now.
