Have you heard of Taste of the Wild?
If you shop at CostCo, then you may be surprised to know the Nature’s Domain “home brand” is actually made by Diamond Pet Foods who make Taste of the Wild.
Taste of the Wild is the more premium offering, but it has to be said Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain is a very good option for your dog which is surprisingly affordable given the ingredients.
Kirkland Nature’s Domain review
Diamond Pet Foods who make Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain are a big company known for producing decent dog foods (Taste of the Wild has a great reputation worldwide). It’s nice to see the brand available in Australia at CostCo outlets.
If your current dog food has a first ingredient which isn’t meat then throw it in the bin. The Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain recipe has salmon as the first ingredient, which is a much better option for your dog.
The second ingredient is also salmon!
It’s a different form of salmon, in this case dried salmon meal, but that tells us this dog food really does have a focus on ingredients which will provide your dog with what they really need – protein from an animal source.
However, the next three ingredients will likely outweigh the salmon, and they’re sweet potato, potato, and peas.
These aren’t bad ingredients, and given the price of Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain they are to be expected. It’s a balance of ingredients vs. cost, and it has to be said these are better ingredients for your dog than what we find in most dog foods for a similar price.
It’s also nice to have a mixture, and sweet potato is a good inclusion being low GI, full of fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants. I consider it one of the best “carbohydrate” ingredients used in a dog food. Potato not quite so much, but peas will add protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals.
The minor inclusions of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are similar to what you would find in Taste of the Wild, and really round of the dog food.
All in all, Kirkland Signature Nature’s Domain comes across as a decent, well-balanced dog food, especially considering how affordable it is.
Recommended.
