I will add that corn is a filler and if i did feed kibble i would choose one without it. |
Do you have any science at all to back that statement up? Here's some information about author of the site that I quoted:

The ratings given and comments made about the foods assessed on this site and ingredients listed are the opinion of the Editors, who are a small team of volunteers each with a long standing interest in dog nutrition. http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/about.html |
An interest in nutrition, what does that mean? Pretty much anyone here could be an editor there. They have no solid credentials, they have no formal training. Like it or not nutrition is a science, you need to understand the science behind nutrition before you can have a informed opinion. Otherwise, you are swept away with every passing fad.
