actually, $6 per 5 lb bag is not a lot to spend, when you're considering your dogs health and growth. Right now, Bully needs a very good quality food to aid his growing, especially with large breeds like Labs. Hill Science Diet's first ingredient is also Ground Corn (followed by Poultry by-products) which doesn't sound too quality to me. It *is* overpriced for its ingredients. Please check out the brands I mentioned, they would be a lot better for him and because they're much more high quality foods, you will be able to feed your puppy less of it and therefor save money. It might seem expensive, but it is worth it!! Especially if it prevents high vet bills 8-10 years from now.. which, high quality food can.
