Natural Salmon and Brown Rice Formula - Products - Purina® Pro Plan®
Well first of all, it contains menadione which is linked to liver failure and is currentlyl being taken out of many higher quality dog food brands.

Here is more information: The Dog Food Project - Menadione (Vitamin K3)

Second, there is no guarantee that the food is ethoxyquin free. Ethoxyquin is a preservative added to fish meal and is believed to be carcinogenic.

Third, while the first ingredient listed is a meat, it is not listed as a meal meaning that it is inclusive of water content - if you were to take out the water, it would probably be listed much further down the list. The first real meat is listed third, meaning there is probably not a substantial amount of meat.

Also, a class action lawsuit was filed against Purina Pro Plan for misleading advertisements about the quality of their ingredients. Class Action - Purina Pro Plan

Sorry, but that's enough to send me running!
