Ask Susan Peters Dog Food Review:

Nutri Source Super Premium Large Breed Puppy Chicken and Rice Formula has excessive use of grains including corn and wheat. Corn and Wheat are trouble makers for dogs. Nutri Source Super Premium Large Breed Puppy uses "natural flavors" but natural flavors of what? Natural Flavors are usually produced from manure of the animal the flavor is supposed to taste like. I've seen Ol' Roy score higher than Nutri Source Super Premium Large Breed Puppy Chicken and Rice Formula.
