There's a post somewhere on here that tells you how to grade dog food - Puppy Chow would get a big fat F.

Here's the ingredients - first product is corn- ground the worst, cheap source of protein and very difficult to digest - how many wild dogs do you see chowing down on corn??? Next ingredient is a meat by product this means chicken guts, chicken feet and beaks, etc., can it get worst but to list corn again and than soybean is also a negative. I don't see any Omega 3 or 6 fatty acids, other than yeast and some are allergic to that.

I was hoping your breeder started him on something a little better. I, personally would change that food as soon as possible so he can have a nice shiny coat. Keep feeding him the puppy chow wet as his meals, but choose one of the quality foods and put it in a bowl and offer that dry.

Ingredients:
Ground yellow corn, chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, brewers rice, soybean meal, beef tallow preserved with mixed-tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), pearled barley, dicalcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, animal digest, salt, egg product, potassium chloride, L-Lysine monohydrochloride, zinc proteinate, choline chloride, DL-Methionine, vitamin supplements (E, A, B 12, D 3), manganese proteinate, ferrous sulfate, copper proteinate, added color (Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 2), niacin, brewers dried yeast, calcium pantothenate, garlic oil, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, calcium iodate, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of Vitamin K activity), folic acid, biotin, sodium selenite.
