    No, she just doesn't care too much about Roxy's dog food.. :/ and I guess she doesn't believe me either. She doesn't believe me on much of anything about Dog food/Raw.

    Beef And Bone Meal
    Soybean Meal
    Ground Rice Hulls
    Protein = 16%
    Fat = 6%
    Fiber = 8%
    Moisture = 12%

    Jordan's info was all I could find too. Other than that it's called "generic Dog Chow" and is favored by farmers because of how cheap it is. It has less protein than Dog Chow or Beneful. In fact I think it's the first time I've seen a food with less than 20% crude protein. Interesting how Purina doesn't include it on their site.

    Eeek sounds gross. It might make her sick (but I know you told your mom that). Why won't your mom buy a different food for her? How big as the food and how long will it last?

    It would only make her sick since she's been on Raw. The quality has nothing to do with it, since she's eaten worse than that before I was kibble knowledgable. Because my mom can't afford it. It's a 17.6 pound bag, and it will last from 2 weeks - 1 month.

    Seriously, the pot is calling the kettle black. Dog Chow is not the healthiest kibble out there either, but she isn't calling your kibble gross.

    I think we have all spoken to her about the kibble her Mom chooses to buy, many times. Honestly, I feel sorry for her & for her pups, we all know she tries. Just keep asking, do chores & help out more if that means even a slightly better food for Roxy. The protein & fat in that is extremely lacking, she will most definitely need a ton of that kibble to keep weight on, so make sure you are upping her food and even try to feed her cooked meat scraps from dinner & such to add some more meat to her diet.

    Many of us disagree with Bri's mom's choices for Roxy but I would never tell someone her mother sounds careless. She has been out of work lately and trying to make ends meet and doing the best she can. I just think its disrespectful to say that about somebody's mother.

    Sorry Bri that Roxy is on the junk food, hopefully it is just temporary.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!

    Totally agreed, as usual.
