    Eagle Pack is a very good food in all their formulas. I fed it for a while before I had quite so many dogs!

What my vet told me was that many senior foods have gluc. added, but that there isn't enough of it in the kibble to actually be therapuetic. To be effective, the dog needs to absorb more than is added to most foods.

    They have added the glucosamine to the large breed puppy formula as well. I have heard of Acana, my cousin feeds his American Bulldog that food. I like that Eagle lists on the side of the bag how much of each supplement, including glucosamine, is added (on my bag of Large & Giant breed puppy anyway).
