Beef, Chicken Meal, Brewers Rice, Corn Meal, Soybean Meal, Animal Fat (Preserved with Mixed Tocopherols), Corn Gluten Meal, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, Dried Beet Pulp, Natural Flavor, Dicalcium Phosphate, Salt, Calcium Carbonate, Dehydrated Alfalfa, Dried Peas, Dried Tomatoes, Dried Carrots, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Olive Oil, Iron Oxide, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Dried Parsley, L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate (Source of Vitamin C), Mixed Tocopherols, Niacin, Manganese Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, D-Calcium Pantothenate, Biotin, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin A Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Thiamine Mononitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite Complex (Source of Vitamin K activity), Vitamin B12 Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Cobalt Sulfate, Folic Acid



Corn, soybeans, and beet pulp are all pretty nutritionally dubious ingredients to include in a dog food. I wouldn't feed it.

My dogs love royal canine adult 27 and they even have a speacial royal canine for yorkies. If your looking at dog food make sure the first ingrediant is a meat.

I feed solid gold and have for awhile, chester seems to do best on it, currently the wee bits

Definately too many fillers. I personally wouldn't feed it. We do wellness and homecooked.

My dogs did good on it, they loved it. Even the skin issues my sheltie was having at the time went away, but once I relized that the ingredients in it were too good, I started looking at other foods.

I recently got a sample of Rachel's food and Solid Gold. I mixed it with the food she was already eating one at a time and she didn't seem to mind either one.

I normally only feed Canidae but I have to order it as no store near me sells it. When I was a little late getting my order in, I did buy a bag of Rachel Ray and my dogs seemed to like it just as well as Canidae. It may not have perfect ingredients (especially the corn and soybean meals) but it was the best of the supermarket (or in this case Target) brands and since I was in a pinch -- it did the job. It did show me my dogs weren't sensitive to corn. Now we have a Petsmart nearby, so if I run out of Canidae again, I will have better choices. Still, I don't think its that bad. At least it doesn't have the dreaded "By products!"

I want to feed her good food so she will live for along time

Here is a recent food poll that was taken

Actually, my 25 year old vet did some studying on food allergies on dogs. Would you believe, there were more dogs allergic to the meats in the dog foods than there were allergic to corn.

That's interesting. Thankfully, I have not found anything mine are sensitive to. Some things gave them diarrhea but it was always people food that they were not supposed to have anyway. After threatening that the person who fed them people food would have to clean up any messes, I seem to have solved that problem.

Not to mention MENADIONE which is an extremely harmful ingredient.

The Dog Food Project - Menadione (Vitamin K3)

My sister changed her boxers to this food because of the price and they were going broke buying food and she said it has given them terrible gas.
