All the ingredients in bold are ingredients I would not feed my dogs. There may be more in the list that is not very good for dogs, but I am not that knowledgeable yet
By products - rejected ingredients for humans. may include beaks, feet, necks, etc etc. Basically, parts of animal that are NOT MEAT.
Corn - filler, difficult to digest for dogs, may cause allergies in some dogs
Fish meal - what fish??
Ground whole grain - what grain??
Citric acid - the presence of this chemical means you CANNOT water this kibble or it will cause bloat problems.
Brewers rice - processed rice missing many nutrients, in other words, cheap filler
Beet pulp - thought to cause allergies in some dogs
Egg product - what is included in this product, and what's not?
