There is a history of recalls with Kirkland Brand Pet Foods due to the rice content. Because of Kirkland Brand Pet Foods substandard manufacturing practices Kirkland is involved in a Class Action against the company.

There have been several reported problems concerning the use of beet pulp in animal foods, including potential swelling in the stomach, palatability, and plugging of the intestinal villus.

Potatoes are not a necesary part of a cat or dog's diet. Potatoes convert to sugar in the digestion process which could lead to other health concerns for your pet.

Natural Flavor from what? Natural flavor is usually obtained by using the manure from what ever animal the pet food company is trying to push as the "flavor" of the product they have produced. In this case I would say the "natural flavor" is from chicken manure.

Brewers dried yeast is a by-product of making beer.

Milk is not required in an adult cat or dog's diet and will lead to other medical conditions.

The life span of your pet should be at least 20 years. Your pet's diet strongly influences your pet's life expectancy. Always look for a quality pet food which scores 10 out of 10.
