Ask Susan Peters Purina Fit & Trim Healthy Weight Formula Dry Dog Food Review:

Purina Fit & Trim Healthy Weight Formula Dry Dog Food is anything but "Healthy". Manure, Soybean Hulls and by-prducts. The only thing Purina Fit & Trim Healthy Weight Formula Dry Dog Food has going for it is that Purina didn't include Purina Fit & Trim Healthy Weight Formula Dry in the pet food recall. Corn, itself, is so harmful to a pet and adds weight to dogs yet Purina Fit & Trim Healthy Weight Formula Dry is supposed to be for weight loss. Boo! Hiss!
