It's a nice fish/chicken food, but not sure you'll see any benefit whatsoever of the additives that you're paying a premium for !
Here's the link to the page and ingredients for that particular food: https://www.holisticselect.com/dog/g...d-puppy-health

The guaranteed analysis of probiotics and enzymes is supposed to be for the food as fed, so they probably add them in a coating after the cooking process. It also meets AAFCO feeding guidelines for nutrients. If I have time, I'll check them out in greater detail to see their reputation and whether they have a nutritionist on staff.

Edit: This is a premium brand from Wellness, and is manufactured in their Mishawaka, Indiana plant. Yes, they do have veterinary nutritionists on staff, great quality control, and I have nothing but good things to say about them.
