No offense everyone but I am crazy about nutrition for my dogs. I will never go through watching my dogs die of cancer from commercial foods at young ages (twelve or below) ever again. Went through to many in my boy hood years and beyond until I researched for a long time about it. Just my pet peeve with nutrition. I am very comfortable about what I feed now in my heart. It's always a huge debate when it comes to dog food for sure.

nobody is debating.

her food is crap, maybe not as bad as ol roy and other store brands because it does have 2 meat sources as the first ingredients but it's still junk

If you do the "how to grade your pet's food" test, this food gets a 79 C, which is right BELOW Alpo. Not a good thing.

I'd give it a D myself. I don't see anything good in the food to outweigh the bad. Bad is soy, alfalfa, corn, gluten, beet pulp. Good is chicken? Perhaps if we knew which part of the chicken that was. Tomatoes carrots and peas aren't exactly the most nutritious nor impressive vegetables to add to a food. They're right up there with cheap filler when you think about the fact that these vegies didn't pass the test for human quality.
I believe the food is extruded as well. That's a major no-no. Extruded foods are devoid of nutrition until the kibble is sprayed with a a fatty spray filled with artificial nutrients before being packaged. This spray stuff is not stable at all.

I have toured Hills Brothers coffee plant and an Imperial Sugar plant. If you had, you wouldn't drink coffee again or use sugar for anything.

Sometimes you have to use your better judgement.

I agree we may feel the same about a lot of human food places too. Read fast food nation and never eat meat again!
