The Evo fish is one of the few dog foods out there that does not contain tomato products (my dog is allergic), however I'm wondering about the quality and safety of fish in kibble. Evo's site states that they only feed high quality wild caught or farm raised fish. As I understood it, farm raised fish can be fairly unhealthy sometimes and may be fed pellets that contain antibiotics or other medicines. Is there any way for me know my dog is getting good quality fish for certain? I have a questions about the Evo Herring and Salmon formula.

Is there any way for me know my dog is getting good quality fish for certain?

Have you noticed a change in stool size? Per the ingredient list above, the food has added probiotics but no added enzymes.  If you want to stick with the larger kibble size maybe it would be worth trying a supplemental enzyme to see if that helps?

The only two things I can think of are, "do they have to add more "carbs" to keep the larger chunks together." Or it could just be a difference in batch ingredient quality. Anyone else know?
