Fresh Look - Castor & Pollux Organix Pet Food
May 15, 2007

In the wake of seemingly non-stop pet food recalls, each one sounding worse than the ones earlier, I would like to recommend the Castor & Pollux Organix dry dog food my dog Jazz has been enjoying. Jazz is my “first born” and is now five and a half years old. She is a medium sized Australian Shepherd with endless amount of energy. She runs with us, chases frisbees, hikes, climbs trees and rocks (seriously), and constantly pokes her nose into whatever the kids are doing. To keep up with her energy level, we have always given her “natural” dog food without a whole lot of useless fillers. A few months ago, I came across Castor & Pollux Organix dog treats and tried them with Jazz. Jazz is a picky eater in general and turns her nose up to many treats. But she loves the new treats and will fetch frisbee to death as long as she gets the treats. I know, I know, she is spoiled rotten. But don’t we all want to spoil our pets?

Then I decided to switch her to Castor & Pollux Organix dry dog food. Normally I switch Jazz’s food slowly, gradually mixing a little more new food in the old food for every meal. But this time I ran out of the old food she had been eating. So I switched her to C & P cold. Fully expecting some digestive problems the first few days, I was pleasantly surprised with none.

Castor & Pollux Organix dry dog food is made with organic ingredients, meaning at least 70% of the content is organic. Chicken, peas, barley, brown rice, oats, which are the top ingredients, are all certified organic. See more on definitions of different organic labels.

What surprises me is that it is actually cheaper to buy it from some of the local stores than online stores. In the stores around the bay area, I have seen prices 10-20% lower than a couple of online stores for Castor & Pollux Organix Canine Formula (15 lbs). Here are a few stores you can find the product:

-Whole Foods
-Elephant Pharmacy
-Petco
-Andronicos
-Draegers
-Mollie Stones
-Pet Food Express
-Earthbeam Natural Foods

Dry food makes up 80% of Jazz’s diet. Compared to conventional dry food, C & P Organix dry food costs $0.20 more a day. Doesn’t every pet deserve that?
