| It has BY PRODUCTS. Then CORN. Brewers rice, chicken fat, beet pulp, egg "product", and this is just from the top of my head. It uses fish, but it doesn't state a claim of using fish free from Ethoxyquin. ALL of this is bad for dogs.
So someone might say that their dogs do fine, even lived a long life eating Iams. Good on them, and the dogs, but it still doesn't change the fact that if we take a closer look, the ingredients are nothing good. My friend's dog lived to 16 years eating Purina, but i still won't feed it to my dogs. |
