The craziest thing about Hills is that they probably have that food listed as a Lamb and Rice formula. People whose animals are sensitive to chicken or corn would see the product, think it is a good choice for their pet, and then be surprised when the animal continues to exhibit skin and coat problems. That's one of the huge reasons why Hills irritates me-- they're sometimes misleading, to say the least.
