Well - this may be your answer. CORN is the second ingredient! All of the ones in bold are considered either allergenic, poor quality fillers, and even a bit toxic (menadione). Any time you see menadione - that should be a major red flag as to the quality of the food AND the philosophy - it is a cheap, rather toxic way to get a Vitamin K derivative in the food - stay away!

If it were me, I would transition this pup off of the food asap and give something like Canidae or Nature's Variety, Innova, Wellness, Evangers etc.
Oh wow i will go buy some today now if i can just find somewhere that sells it we live in such a small hick town it is hard to find anything other than wal mart brand crap or eukanuba or iams The lady i got him from had him on it she said it was all she could get him to eat but i would have switched him a long time ago if i had known it was bad for him i feel terrible about it Does it come in canned or dry? I am asking because little Bella is eating it to and she has a really hard time with dry food. Another question can it be bought at pet smart? Because we have a pet smart about 30 minutes from here but other than that it is either wal mart or a couple little pet stores that only sale iams and eukanuba. And i want to say thank you thank you thank you because i would have never known i was giving him something bad if you hadn't told me. Even though i have tried to do research on dog food my brain just mumbles it up and i end up back at square one

again
