| "Premium" or just a buncha smoke? By looking at the first 3 ingredients...they don't look much different than most of the other foods I've seen. Eagle Pack even has that devil corn in it... Is this all just a bunch of hooey or what? Wellness has "natural chicken flavor"...that's the only mention of meat I saw in those ingredients. First 3 Ingredients of: Wellness: Canola Oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols, a natural source of Vitamin E), Ground Brown Rice, Tomato Pomace Solid Gold Hundchen Flocken Puppy Food: Lamb, Lamb Meal, Millet Eagle Pack: Chicken meal, Ground Yellow Corn, Rice Flour Natural Balance Small Bites: Chicken, Brown Rice, Lamb Meal

| I am not sure which Wellness you are looking at but my bags say. Small Breed Adult Wellness-Deboned Turkey, Chicken Meal, Salmon Meal, Oatmeal, Ground Brown Rice, Ground Barley, Rye Flour, Chicken Fat Wellness Puppy-Deboned Chicken, Chicken Meal, Oatmeal, Ground Barley, Salmon Meal (a natural source of DHA - Docosahexaenoic Acid), Canola Oil (preserved with mixed tocopherols, a natural source of Vitamin E), Ground Brown Rice, Tomato Pomace The first three are important because they are such a high percentage of the food makeup. If you check out dogfoodanalysis.com it will give you some very good info on ingrediants.

| If using dogfoodanalysis.com, go for the 5 star foods- the 6 star foods are extremely high in protein and for dogs that are not working, can be detrimental to their health.

| It's pretty good, huh? You just have to be careful and take it with a bit of salt as there is no veterinary research behind it and it makes people think their pets needs super high protein. I love it though as it is a way to seperate the different foods and their ingredients- easier than going back and forth between the different food websites. What have you decided?
