Hello David, I have never heard of it but had a quick look and would give it a miss.
There are far better foods on the market like Eden/Simpsons/Orijen to name just three.

This is the content of Europa lamb and rice..


Lamb Meal (26%), Rice (26%), Barley, Oats, Brewers Yeast, Poultry Fat, Sugar Beet Pulp, Lamb Digest, Minerals, Vitamins, (Verm - X®), Yucca Schidigera Extract
I don't want to see either of those unnecessary ingredients highlighted in red in any food I feed and am not that happy with some of the others.

This is the chicken and rice, note the first ingredient..
Maize, White Rice (30%), Poultry Meal (21%), Poultry Fat, Sugar Beet Pulp (4.5%), Brewers Yeast, Linseed, Seaweed, Chicken Hydrolysate, Minerals, Vitamins, Yucca Schidigera Extract (0.02%)
No thank you, maize is just a filler and I would say another unnecessary ingredient in dog food .

David what are you feeding at the moment?

Just had a look, by the ingredient list and for the price there are better comparable foods out there. If you where to say out of 10, 10 being super duper this would be about a 5..

That's purely on what is in it, I have no opinion on whether a dog may or may not like it

Neither have I Sarah but for me that is a minor consideration because my dog would eat anything given the chance including chopped up old boot I am pretty certain of that

Ditto to what Mini has said. I personally wouldn't feed my dog Europa.

It's definitely not new and I know the company that makes it as they're local to me.

Tried it, before I switched to 100% raw, I found it made my dog's coat a bit scurfy.

There are worse foods and there are better foods.
