Most 'cheaper' foods start with yellow corn or something like that... which is great for flavor if it's not one of the first few ingredients, but it's more of a 'filler', not a functional nutrient.
So, check the first three ingredients on a bag of food, the first one listed is what the main consistency of the kibble is made up of - this can help you decide what to feed your pup. |
Yes...and if the "inexpensive" food you buy is mostly filler...you dog will end up eating more anyway and you won't really save $.
