I don't think there's really much debate among knowledgeable people as to what constitutes a high or low quality dog food. Purina is consistently rated low quality and for good reason. The #1 cause of death in dogs (across all breeds) is chronic kidney failure. Feeding a dog low quality food with indigestible ingredients over time will tax the kidneys. It's one thing to feed your dog what you want but quite another to recommend a low quality food to others based on what the local TV news says. Do what you want but please don't make food recommendations unless you have some reasonable basis for making them.
