Horizon Pet Nutrition is a Canadian owned developer and manufacturer of healthy premium pet foods. Horizon sources and includes only the best ingredients from the heart of the renowned Western Canadian Agriculture region with ingredients suitable for human consumption. The company operates it’s own state of the art manufacturing facility located in Rosthern, Saskatchewan with extraordinary personal care, attention and control systems to ensure safe and nutritional products. By employing the highest standards for ingredient sourcing adhering to strict quality and manufacturing control practices and operating in a clean northern Canadian environment, they are able to produce the highest quality products in the world.
Horizon talks about using high quality, safe products in their formulations, but so do many other companies. What is it that makes Horizon truly different than the others? There are a few quantifiable reasons why they are unique.
Their ingredient specifications are actually higher than for human food. Why? There is typically no mycotoxin or aflatoxin testing for human food but in their pet food manufacturing process, they conduct extensive safety controls to eliminate the risk of toxic ingredients.
As a strict practice, they also look for and source higher bushel weight and protein content in their grain ingredients. Nothing is allowed in that has ever been treated with aluminum phosphide or has any sign of insect, parasite or bacterial infestation. Being located in Saskatchewan, they can be and are highly selective with respect to ingredients. They have uncompromising standards and understand fully the responsibility of producing your pet’s food. As pet guardians themselves, wanting a product they can trust for the health of their own pets, they know that you can trust Horizon's quality and standards.

Fresh chicken meat chicken meal salmon meal turkey meal pea starch concentrate green split peas chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, rosemary, citric acid)
The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because one of my dogs doesn't like it. He likes Origin Adult but for some reason doesn't like the Legacy Adult which in some cases seems better to me.

This is the best dog food that I have ever fed to my 2 Rotties and 1 Lab. I feed mostly raw, fresh and this is my supporting, quick component to their diet.
My o lder (10 1/2 yr) rottie has never had so much energy - you hit the mark with this one! I also feed the Puppy version of Horizon - slightly higher protein - a great addition to our program. All coats are fantastic. Thanks!

Our dog usually has stomach and loose stools when we change food brands, but not with Legacy by Horizon. We are able to give our Silky Terrier Legacy one day and Instinct the next day without issue.
