I don't want brand suggestion... I have 2 brands to choose from regarding affordability. Orijen is about $200 for 13kg here and thats crazy. Keep in mind that the kibble is only temporary until I start feeding raw. I am going to give the ingredients and analysis not the names of the products to prevent bias.

Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols, citric acid and rosemary extract. (en-ZA)
ANALYSIS:
It's a long list that doesn't copy/paste properly so I will just put calcium and phosphorus. I don't know what the fancy headings mean either.
