Ingredients: Sufficient Water for Processing, Beef By-Products, Meat By-Products, Liver, Poultry By-Products, Beef, Caramel Coloring, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Tripolyphosphate, Carrageenan, Dried Yam, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavors, Potassium Chloride, Salt, Erythorbic Acid, Liquid Top Sirloin Flavor, Guar Gum, Zinc Sulfate, Vitamin A, D3, & E Supplements, Sodium Nitrite (for color retention), d-Calcium Pantothenate, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1).

Specific by-products are bad enough, but when it just says "meat byproducts" I get a little sick to my stomach. They identified the beef and chicken by-products and would probably do the same if it were pork, so what do you think those "meat by-products" might be?

Read this before you feed your dog again: http://www.bodyfueling.com/ARTICLES/Petfood2.html

I have heard some say, well in the wild they would eat the whole animal. But in the wild, they would also get the GOOD stuff, the muscle meat and prime organs -- not just the offals, beaks, feet, head, and 4Ds (dead, disabled, dying, and diseased).

I know some say, it is better that they eat any dog food than not eat well. Would we say that if they were eating their poop? I think it is more important to stick to our guns and make sure they eat a healthy dog food. I would not have let my son tell me he was only going to eat chips, and I won't let my dogs tell me they will only eat cheap, disgusting dog food. They will eventually eat the good stuff and be much healthier for it. I love these guys and want them with me a very long time! Say no to Cesar's!
i am one that says it is better than nothing. I am not talking about not eating well, I am talking about eating NOTHING but Nutracal for days. Sure, I came on here and tried all the suggestions from people that are supposed to know. Boiled chicken and etc. I can tell you right now that after nearly losing Ceeby and having the vet in three times his first Thanksgiving and then many hypoglycemic episodes after that, if he want s to eat Ceaser's, he is going to eat Cesears. he is more important to me than the opinions of people. BTW, he is not a poopeater.
