There is corn listed in this product as well as lots of by-products. I was not impressed with this product. This is a poor product to use for a puppy. Quality is important when laying a good foundation for puppy growth and well-being.
Do you have another dog or cat food you would like to have tested? Please submit a comment and I'll check it out.

its so good for my shizu shes so fit and shape
Despite apparent bias it seems the protein, fat, fibre and vitamen content is all very good in this food. I was told by the breeder of my dog her vet recommends this because the pups like it so will eat plenty of calories, and it has lots of Calcium which is important for the bone and tooth formation. So far my little guy seems to be thriving on this stuff. I could easily afford more expensive but when my breeder says this is vet recommneded and what she feeds her pups that is good enough for me. I do have some concern of the potential for diabetes with the corn content but she assures me she has never seen it in any of her dogs.

Hello.I'm a 13 yr. old girl and I was going to get a puppy next year.So I did A LOT of research and found a lot of bad puppy and doggy foods.It's scary that a pet could die from food designed for them!Or should I say for those peoples' pockets!I'm just amazed at all of the bad food.I never know what some ingredients could do to a dog until now.Thanks for posting this.You must be a really great person with a heart for dogs.Cats as well, too.I'm trying to spread the word.Hope people stop buying bad dog foods so they will go out of business and stop making this stuff!But I would still feel bad for the workers...
