Nutrience dog food.. Anyone know the pros/cons for this brand? I've been feeding this to my dog since I got him almost three months ago. I see that there is a lot of debate over dog food brands, so I'm just curious as to how good of a dog food brand Nutrience is. Thanks. |
Can you list the ingredients? I've never heard of it. |

The only thing I can see in there that's not good is the ground corn. A TON of dogs are allergic to corn. If you feed him that and he is allergic to corn, he could also develop secondary allergies to the other products in that food. Personally I would not take a chance with feeding it. I would try something else that does not contain corn. |
THanks for THe quiCk reply! How do you know if a dog is allergiC To Corn? (Sorry for THe mix of leTTering, for some reason I Can only Type some leTTers wHen in Caps mode =S) |

Aside from the corn, menadione really concerns me. You can type in the menadione sulfate in google and find out why, but here is a link to: http://www.dogfoodproject.com/index.php?page=menadione Have you heard of Canidae? Many people on here feed this including myself and it's great quality. :thumbup: Good luck |
