I will look into it, thanks.

Edited to add:

It doesn’t look suitable. From this website:
“Near-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food.”

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately none of them are as low carb as Evo, tho’ a couple are close.

Evo 16% calorie rated carbs
Blue Buffalo Wilderness 33%
Earthborn Holistic Primitive Natural 22%
Canidae Pure 30%
Nature’s Variety Instinct 25%
Solid Gold Barking at the Moon 19%

The best of the bunch, Solid Gold, unfortunately uses pea protein for one of its major protein sources, a low bioavailable source, so that rules it out for me. And 30-35% carb is pretty much an average for the better quality foods, so nothing exceptional there.

Whereas the Wysong Epigen is 7% carb, even better than Evo if significantly more expensive.

I will certainly keep checking the Evo location finder. Doing so yesterday I found a store in a not-too-far away town that I wasn’t aware of carrying it, so I will certainly check with them. However, the same locator also lists a store that has discontinued carrying it because they have had supply issues. For the time being, Chewy is selling down their stock. When I called yesterday to find out what was going on, they had 300 bags & were only selling them to the current subscribers, of which I am one.

The reason for my persnickety-ness is that one of my dogs has a recurring sarcoma, & cancers LOVE carbs. So we’re trying to tilt several things in the dog’s favor.

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Evo line anyway? Is Mars Pet shutting it down? I know they discontinued some of the flavors last year, & shut down Innova.
