There are a lot of ingredients listed in this product which are not required by a dog. Most of the stuff listed are "feel good" ingredients. When it comes down to it the stuff is made from manure with junk added to it. I wouldn't feed manure to my dog and I'm not spending hard-earned money on packaged manure.
